Top 3 Reasons Why Bed Bugs Stay

 

Excessive clutter is very high on list of top 3 reasons your bed bug treatments don’t work.

Number one, by far is the wrong treatment method. If you are using pesticides your chances of solving a bed bug problem on your own is near zero. Even with the help of a professional exterminator your ads of winning against bed bugs are extremely low. What we hear all the time from our callers is “I thought I had this done. Bed bugs were gone for 2 weeks, 2 months or even 8-12 months an then they returned …

Well, sometimes you or someone visiting you might be bringing more bed bugs into your home but that happens very seldom. What happens most often is the pesticides you continue using ( the repellent component in the pesticide ) simply keep sending a message to bed bugs that it isn’t safe for them. The repellency does not last forever ( 2-4 weeks from each application ). It does not kill them and it hurts your and your family’s health a lot more than it hurts bed bugs.

If you decide to have this done professionally or by yourself using the ambient heat method the chances of eliminating bed bugs are higher than by using pesticides but far from what you expect and way below our standards which is why we abandoned this method of treatment 7 years ago. The biggest problem with the ambient heat method is how complicated the proper application of it is and the complete lack of residual protection. Meaning, even if you were one of the few lucky people who could get rid of them with the ambient heat treatment, there is nothing to keep bed bugs at bay if even one is reintroduced or even one survives the treatment.

 

Number two.  Not following directions from the bed bug professionals you hired or hiring professionals that give wrong directions.  That point is closely related to the previous one as people using low-success methodology will have very little knowledge of proper post-treatment protocol.

Welcome to our latest promotional video showcasing the importance of proper room preparation for effective bed bug treatment without the use of ineffective and dangerous pesticides. In just three minutes, we reveal essential tips and strategies to take back control of your home and save you thousands on ineffective bed bug extermination costs and failed treatments.

This video is a must-watch for homeowners, renters, and BRB and VRBO operators. Effective bed bug extermination using steam and other non-toxic methods starts with thorough room preparation. Proper preparation ensures that extermination treatments reach all areas where bed bugs might be hiding.

Start by decluttering the room to eliminate hiding spots for bed bugs. Remove all personal items, clothing, and linens, and wash them in hot water, then run through a dryer to kill any hidden bed bugs or eggs. Vacuuming the room, including the mattress, furniture, and carpet, is essential to remove any loose bed bugs and eggs. Proper room preparation is a critical first step in ensuring the success of bed bug treatments and preventing future infestations. Room preparation also enhances the efficiency of steam treatments, one of the most effective non-toxic bed bug extermination methods.

Steam penetrates deep into mattresses, box springs, and furniture where bed bugs often hide. However, the steam can only be effective if it can reach these areas. Ensuring that all furniture is moved away from the walls and disassembled, if possible, allows the steam to access all potential hiding spots. By removing barriers and obstacles, the steam treatment can be more thorough, increasing the chances of completely eradicating the bed bug infestation.

This thorough approach not only improves the effectiveness of the treatment but also reduces the likelihood of needing additional treatments, saving time and money. Moreover, proper room preparation promotes the safety and effectiveness of other non-toxic bed bug extermination methods, such as diatomaceous earth and bed bug interceptors. Preparing the room by cleaning and clearing these areas allows for precise application, ensuring that the powder reaches the bed bugs. Bed bug interceptors, placed under the legs of beds and furniture, work best in an uncluttered environment where bed bugs are forced to cross them. By preparing the room thoroughly, you enhance the efficacy of these non-toxic treatments, ensuring a safer and healthier environment while effectively eliminating bed bugs.

Caution! Heat Treatment Risks Spreading Bed Bugs in Multi-Unit Homes and Condominiums

BedBugsBoston.com-Multi Unit Prevention

Please double-click on the image to view the video

In contrast to the ambient heat treatment method for bed bug extermination in multi-unit settings, which poses significant risks of infestation spread to adjacent units, steam heat treatment emerges as a more effective and targeted alternative, addressing many of the challenges inherent in the ambient heat approach. Unlike ambient heat treatment, which involves heating an entire space to a uniform temperature – a process that often drives bed bugs to migrate to cooler neighboring units – steam heat treatment is localized and precise, directly targeting bed bug-infested areas without the broader risks of migration. This precision not only ensures that bed bugs and their eggs are exterminated in the treated areas but also significantly reduces the likelihood of them escaping to adjacent apartments in multi-unit buildings.

A major advantage of steam heat treatment is its ability to penetrate deep into the areas where bed bugs hide, such as mattresses, screw holes, joints in the furniture, and cracks, delivering lethal temperatures directly to these pests and their eggs. This method overcomes the challenge of achieving uniform heating throughout an entire unit, a significant issue with ambient heat treatment in multi-unit environments. By focusing on specific infested areas, steam heat treatment also mitigates the risk of property damage to sensitive materials and electronics, a concern with the high temperatures used in ambient heat methods.

Furthermore, the current landscape of bed bug extermination faces a notable challenge: the lack of effective pesticides. Many bed bug populations have developed resistance to conventional insecticides, rendering them less effective. Therefore, combining any form of heat treatment with pesticides may not yield additional benefits and could lead to unnecessary chemical exposure. Steam heat treatment stands out as a singularly effective approach, eliminating the need for chemical interventions. Its efficacy is rooted in its ability to deliver immediate, lethal temperatures to bed bugs and their eggs, ensuring a higher success rate in extermination without relying on potentially ineffective pesticides.

In conclusion, steam heat treatment offers a more targeted, safe, and effective solution for bed bug extermination, particularly in complex multi-unit residential settings. It addresses the limitations and risks associated with ambient heat treatment, such as the potential for infestation spread, uneven heating, and the absence of residual protection. By focusing on direct application to infested areas, steam heat treatment provides a practical, efficient, and environmentally friendly approach to bed bug extermination, aligning with the need for effective, non-chemical pest control methods in the face of growing pesticide resistance.

 

 

4 Reasons Why IPM Will End Your Boston Bead Bug Nightmare Now and Forever!

1. Bed bugs are very good at adaptation and survival. The companies selling ambient heat treatment for bed bug will try to convince you bed bugs are drawn to the source of the heat to the point they experience a sort of heat exhaustion or thermal shock and die.

Heat ( our body heat ) accounts for 2.5 % of what draws bed bugs to us, hence, their claim is exactly 2.5% true. The CO2 we exhale accounts for 95% of the attraction, and the body heat and our body scent account equally for the remaining 5%. That is science and bed bug biology without the hype.

2. The proper equipment used in ambient heat bed bug remediation is expensive. A setup required to treat an average 3-bedroom Boston area home will cost around $400K.

That is simply cost-prohibitive for most companies in the Boston market or anywhere else for that matter.

Instead of heating up the entire home at the same time, the technicians will heat up a part of the house with the equipment at their disposal. After that is finished the techs will proceed to the next part of the house effectively speaking chasing bed bugs from one place to the other.

3. Heat sinks. Every structure, even the one built to the best standards in Boston, will have areas that heat up slower than other areas. If you consider the first paragraph, it is easy to see how something as good in principle as heat treatment, could be so ineffective in providing a reliable solution for bed bugs.

Even if one of the bed bugs or an egg survives the heat treatment, there is absolutely nothing to protect you.

4. Complete lack of residual protection. In simple terms, once the room temperature drops to its normal level, there is nothing in place to slow down the growth of the bed bug population.

Therefore, if not all of the bed bugs were killed during the treatment there is nothing to protect you in case of re-infestation.  If your home is a stand-alone structure the chance of reinfestation is significant but if your home is part of a larger structure like an apartment or a condominium complex the chance of reinfestation is unacceptably high.

Listed above are the four main bed bug heat treatment problems and reasons why heat treatment for bed bugs is not the best solution.

At K&A Pest Control we utilize true IPM ( Integrated Pest Management ) principles.  A combination of the best, safest, and most effective tools to provide safe, fast, and lasting solutions to your bed bug nightmare. We utilize heat in a more focused manner where it is 100% effective and instant.

Combining it with other mechanical solutions where bed bug biology and feeding habits are used to eradicate their population and provide ongoing protection is where we differ from other companies. Bed bug extermination is our single focus, the only insect we aim at. We offer instant relief, full house preparation, and nontoxic treatment.
