World, Bed Bug Registry Map – Infestation Reports

Killing bed bugs with heat is not a new concept. Heat has been used for pest control dating back to 1762 in France.

Thermal Remediation is the most thorough and comprehensive method of eradicating bed bugs proving lethal at all stages of the bed bugs life cycle. This revolutionary, eco-friendly process to treat beg bug infestations with heat is the most cost-effective and least disruptive treatment option, saving your mattress, your furniture, your time and your money.

Most bed bug chemical treatments are extremely tedious and typically require multiple visits. Studies have shown that bed bugs may be growing increasingly insecticide resistant, due to excessive use. (There are fewer treatment alternatives as regulatory restrictions have diminished many of the chemical options.)

Bed bugs are attracted to body heat and heat sources.

Rather than trying to escape, they are attracted to the heat and emerge from hiding to come out to the heat source. The heating happens quickly so that the bugs have no time to escape, and the temperature is controlled and maintained until every last bed bug is dead. Heat-N-Go uses industrial electric heaters and convection fans to heat the infected spaces.

The key to an effective heat treatment is the correct balance of temperature, timing, humidity levels, and monitoring. A typical treatment may take about 6 to 8 hours to complete.

Complete heat monitoring system to ensure the right balance of heat is attained and maintained utilizing sensors and attaining computer printouts.

Before Heat-N-Go, heats your residence we provide you with a checklist of items to be removed beforehand and we do an inspection before the heating begins.

Pets and aerosol cans, for example, should be removed from the residence before a treatment. Your electronics, the contents of your refrigerator and your furniture may all safely remain in the house.

The preparation instructions will provide you with a list of items that can and cannot remain in the treatment area. Our goal is to eliminate the bed bug and its eggs. The goal is more likely to be reached if preparation instructions are followed as specified.

There has been a resurgence of bed bugs worldwide in the past several years. In B.C., the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver has been particularly hard hit. However, bed bugs have also been found in many buildings across British Columbia, including private homes, hotels, universities and residential care homes.

Bed bugs are small brownish, flattened parasites about the size of an apple seed. They feed on the blood of humans, birds and other animals. Bed bugs do not live on their hosts, unlike lice or fleas, but visit them to feed, mostly at night. A bed bug bite is like a mosquito bite. It may result in a red, itchy bump, but many people have no reaction at all.

Bed bugs are very resilient and hard to eliminate. They cannot fly, but spread by "hitching rides" on clothing, purses and luggage. They also establish themselves in mattresses and bedding, furniture, cracks in walls and even electronics. The bugs often spread when people are moving or travelling.

Although bed bugs bite humans, the B.C. Ministry of Health and Health Canada have not traditionally classified bed bug infestations as a public health concern because the bugs have not been known to transfer disease. The health risk primarily comes from secondary infection and scarring. Getting rid of them can also be stressful.

Specific bed bug complaints and concerns are handled by B.C.s health authorities. They work with local governments, healthcare providers, building owners, community groups and individuals to provide information and support in exterminating bed bugs. Vancouver Coastal Health and Island Health have helpful information on bed bugs on their websites.

BC Housing has a bed bug eradication program for the subsidized housing it manages. For more information, please visit BC Housings bed bugs website.
