Heat Treat Bed Bugs

Heat Treat Bed Bugs

Latin Name
Cimex Lectularius L.

Appearance
Bed bugs are flat, reddish-brown, oval insects up to 4 to 5 mm long or the size of an apple seed. Swollen and reddish after a blood meal.

Behavior, Diet & Habits
Bed bugs only feed on blood. Under cool conditions, bed bugs have been able to survive up to a year without a meal. They prefer to be more active at night when the host is asleep. Found in cracks and crevices, including mattress seams, sheets, furniture, behind baseboards, electrical outlet plates and picture frames. Often found in hotels, where they can travel from room to room and in visitors’ luggage or other personal belongings such as purses and briefcases.

Reproduction
Females can deposit one to five eggs a day, and may lay 200 to 500 eggs in a lifetime. Under normal room temperatures and with an adequate food supply, they can live for more than 300 days.

Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation
There are many possible signs of bed bug activity. The first would be seeing the bugs. Adult bed bugs are about the shape and size of an apple seed. A second sign would be case skins. As the juvenile bugs grow, they shed their skins, discovery of which can indicate their presence. After feeding, bed bugs return to their harborage to hide. They eventually defecate in these areas, which appears as black to brown stains on porous surfaces or black to brown mounds on nonporous surfaces. Bites also may indicate bed bug activity, but further signs will need to be found, since other sources can cause red welts on the skin.

How to Treat Bed Bugs
Destrodent Pest Control technicians use a 4 part treatment (harvest, heat, spray and dust).
This method is proven and is the only way to kill the eggs.

Our new kit acts like a giant convector oven, allowing rugs, curtains mattresses, beds, bedding, clothing and soft furnishings to be placed inside the treatment area. We use a computer which automatically operates and regulates the precise amount of heat required. Before we start the heat treatment, an insecticidal spray is thoroughly applied to the walls and floors to help prevent a reinfestation.
