Do Bed Bugs Make You Anxious?

Bed bugs have become a major threat to residential and commercial property owners in our area and across the U.S. These pests were dormant for several decades due to the widespread use of DDT, but their resurgence has taken off and there isnt an end in sight. Entomologists speculate that the reemergence of bed bugs may be due to theincrease of international travel, the ban on DDT and a higher resistance to currently used pesticides. Bed bugs pose a significant risk and challenge to homeowners and businesses alike.

As far as bed bug treatment goes, the fastest and most effective way to eradicate bed bugs is through heat treatment. The only way to ensure the problem has been solved is to eliminate every last bed bug in your home. This can prove to be difficult as bed bugs hide in small, improbable crevices (not just in beds), so you need to treat everything with intensive heat.

An advanced technology known as Thermal Remediation (heat treatment) is a safe, efficient, and highly effective solution for eradicating bed bugs.
