How to Prep a Room for a Bed Bug Heat Treatment

[@CRAZYHORSE19682003]

As a tip, strip the bed of linens and lean the mattress and box spring against the wall at a 45 degree angle. Talk all drawers out of the furniture and have them leaning against the wall at 45 degrees. All clothes and linens should be put in garbage bags and taken to a laundromat and run through the dryers on high for at least an hour or more per load.

The checklist I got included removing musical instruments. How does the heat affect them?

I just got a quote for 1500 on 2bd apt how fair is that

[@dylanburge3516]

lol better then me paying 4500 for a 3 bedroom apartment because I was in a rural area with only one pest company within 3 hours

[@wassupmypeeps69]

just as a comparison...I was just quoted in NY for a upper part of a 2 story house. 3,250$ that included a k-9 to sniff them out twice.

I was told they have to toss clothes all over the floor basically mess up the house by throwing clothes and shoes in the middle of the floor

[@philfrizzell4571]

They told us to strip the bed

So windows won't crack due to excessive heat?

[@philfrizzell4571]

What about the tv

What about carpet

Treating with heat don’t work, they go into the walls and bed into the Installation they stay there till the room cools down and they come back out. You will only kill the ones that may be on the furniture or on the floor. They live in your walls and if walls are getting heated they go in to your Insulation and that keeps them from getting hot and killing them.

[@nikkis7375]

It does work. Sometimes people need multiple treatments.

[@CRAZYHORSE19682003]

As someone who has done hundreds of heat treatments in ten years in the industry heat is the BEST method. There is a REASON why you cook a room for six hours, so the walls and the spaces behind the walls heat up.

Will propane heaters work?

[@americanbedbugheaterrental8752]

We 100% do not recommend using recreational propane heaters. They will leave a nasty smell in the room and have a very high chance of causing a fire.

[@LifeWithCookie4]

I heard heat treatments don’t work

[@ElonTusk-ck8mw]

They do. Heat can & will kill anything
