How do I prepare a room for bed bug eradication?

Our process uses warm air to kill all bed bugs and their eggs. The room and all its contents will be warmed to over 125°F (the kill zone) and may reach temperatures of 145°F (ensuring that all areas reach the kill zone). As a result anything that can be damaged by this heat should be removed. We have a check list which includes: candles, chocolates, pets, plants, medicines, and stringed musical instruments. Everything else should be situated so that the heat can penetrate as quickly as possible. Drawers should be opened, doors to closets opened, furniture moved away from walls, cushions lifted off of couches, mattresses angled up off of box springs, and clothes hung up or spread out so that they are no more than three inches deep. Full instructions are available here.

How does heat diffusion treatments compare to pesticide treatments?

Apart from the obvious fact that it is safe and non-toxic, heat treatment has many advantages over pesticide treatment. Perhaps the most significant is that bed bugs can simply escape the chemicals and return when it is safe for them again. For a full comparison, please refer to this chart.

How do I know if the bed bugs are dead?

Temperature probes are distributed throughout the insect eradication area and monitored remotely. Once they indicate that the temperature has reached the kill zone for the required time (Usually 125°F for 30 mins) then you know that the insect eradication is complete.
