Why a Heat Treatment for bed bugs
Everyday we hear from people calling about bed bug issues. Most of the time they want to know about heat treating for bed bugs which we are happy to explain. I wanted to take a moment to write a post about this process and why it’s so much more effective then other types of treatment for bed bugs.
Bed bugs have been studied excessively. Major universities and government agencies such as the CDC have done numerous studies on these pests. These studies include treatment methods and processes which is what we are going to discuss here.
Bed bugs can be treated in a number of way’s. I’m going to list these types of treatments and then discuss the pro’s and the con’s to each.

- Chemical Treatment Services
- Freezing Treatment Services
- Steam Treatment Services
Bed Bug Heat Treatment
Obviously most people hear about chemical and heat treatment services as these are the most popular. Both work but one works exceptionally well and quick and the other requires usually numerous treatments. Heat if done properly and directions followed by the customers is highly effective. Success rates are 97% for our customers with only 3% needing further services. These 3% can usually be associated with improper preparation and not following directions. Chemical services require multiple treatments and a rotation of products used to reduce resistance to pesticides.

Bed Bug Heat Treatment Service
Are we out of our minds putting a guarantee on our heat treatment services when so many other companies don’t? Maybe, just maybe we are more confident in the quality of our work. We strive to do the job correct the first time, every time.
Other companies want to charge the customer each and every time they come back for service. What if you find a bed bug two weeks after an expensive bed bug heat treatment with company X. Will company X want to charge you all over again for another service? The truth is, many of these bed bug service providers are not confident in the quality of the treatment they are providing. I have seen company after company pop up over the last 2 years. I hear it every day on the phone while talking to potential customers that used another company. It’s alway’s the same story, the first treatment is X dollars and the second is X dollars and on and on. Why would you spend the amount of money a heat treatment costs only to likely need them back? Are they going to do a good, thorough job the first time? If you do proper prep work and they do a good thorough job success should be the norm. At least this is true with a mild to average infestation. Sure, some infestations are beyond this and will require multiple treatment. This however can easily be established during the consultation. These extreme cases however are not typical. Even though we see extremely infested homes from time to time the typical home with bed bugs doesn’t wait long enough for the infestation to get to this level. Remember, nobody wants bed bugs. Most people opt to have a treatment done as soon as they realize they have a bed bug problem.

Termite Inspection and Treatment

Termite Activity Found in Jenks, Oklahoma home hidden behind a water tank
In most real estate transactions inspections may be required such as a wood infestation report or ODAFF1. These are usually lender requirements for anybody hoping to buy a home with the help of a mortgage. In some cases a report called the NPMA-33 which is used in VA loans and some other types of loans may be needed. Other types of inspections may be Moisture Damage Reports. These can be optional and are usually used when somebody buying sees damages they want an official report on to request repairs. The reality is having a inspection for termites, for wood rot could save you money in the long run.
All inspections are visual inspections. Most homeowners will NOT allow an inspector to deface the home, remove sheetrock and so forth. What this means is the inspection is only as good as the visible evidence suggests. Termites are only usually found in a home when visible evidence is seen. Types of visible evidence we look for are tunneling in sheetrock, holes in trim, sheetrock, black or brown spotting on trim or sheetrock, tubes on walls, on trim, on concrete leading to trim. Crawl spaces are inspected as well. Once termite activity is found a termite treatment will be called for.
What does a termite treatment look like? Well, it can require drilling of slabs, trenching of soil around the structure, maybe even small holes in walls for foaming of areas infested with termites. A termite treatment professional can look at the property and suggest the necessary work required to do proper treatment. Choosing a professional that takes pride in the work they do will make for a cleaner looking treatment when all is done.
What is a full treatment? A full termite treatment is when the entire home is treated. This means the perimeter is treated.
There are also treatments considered to be partial treatments or whats known as a spot treatment. This is a treatment of a smaller portion of the structure. Spot treatments are usually not accepted as a means of treatment for a real estate purchase. They are typically done to a home already lived in that has an issue arise where the owner many not have funds available to treat the entire dwelling or structure.
Another very important thing to consider is the product being used for treatment. Lets just face it, you can put down a cheap termiticide to save some money but that usually will cost you in the long run. Why?, well a low cost product may only last 4 years, 5 years where a better quality, more expensive product could last double this amount of time or longer.
