THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT BED BUGS

Before you jump straight into the treatments to kill, control and prevent the bed bugs, you need to stay informed of a few things. This includes:

· Researches indicate there has been a massive comeback of bed bugs in the US after 1980 as of increased travel and resistive behavior of bed bugs towards some pesticides.

· The pest control experts consider bed bugs infestation to be the most prominent infestation problem in the US.

· Bed bugs are difficult to treat due to their capabilities to hide in difficult to notice and hard-to-reach crevices.

· The major factor behind the soaring population of the bed bug is that an adult female bed bug lays 5 to 10 eggs daily and almost 500 eggs in its entire life.

· The sign of bed bug bites is small red bumps or welts in a zigzag pattern or line.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF BED BUG TREATMENTS

Let’s come back to the title of the blog that’s about the different types of bed bug treatments, i.e. heat and chemical!

Heat Treatment to Eliminate Bed Bugs

In Bed Bug Heat Treatment, the temperature of the home is increased until it kills the bugs. Our Milwaukee bed bug exterminators on edifying us about this treatment tell that the treatment is solely dependent on the fact that bed bugs die on temperatures above 110 -120 degrees Fahrenheit.

During the treatment, specialized heaters are placed at different corners of the home. Thereafter, they are set to heat at a temperature above 130 degrees Fahrenheit. On confronting such high temperatures, bed bugs die instantly.

Pros of Heat Treatment

· It can be performed in a single go. No phases in the treatment and thereby no multiple visits.

· It is viable for bed bugs of every life stage.

· Heat can reach anywhere no matter wherever the bed bug is hiding.

Cons of Heat Treatment

· Since heat leaves no residual effects, bed bugs may return. However, in-depth cleaning on regular basis may limit the entry of bed bugs in homes.

· The home should be completely vacated. There should be no one in the home. Besides, things that can be affected due to high heat need to be taken away from the house.

Bed Bug Chemical Spray Treatment

On edifying about the bed bug chemical spray treatment, our Milwaukee bed bug exterminator says that it is a highly effective alternative to heat treatment for removing bed bugs.

First of all, a contact insecticide is used to remove visible or easy-to-reach bed bugs. Secondly, a residual chemical is applied to concerned areas to avert the bed bugs from returning, thirdly, dust is used to fill the cracks and crevices to demote bed bug arrival.

Pros of Bed Bug Chemical Spray Treatment:

· It is a highly effective method especially in the early stage of bed bug infestation

· It acts as a barrier for bed bugs and prevents future infestations

· It is less expensive than other bed bug eradication methods

Cons of Bed Bug Chemical Spray Treatment:

· It requires a lot of hard work. You will need to remove all the barriers to reach the budding spots of bed bugs

· Although the chemicals used in these are safe for humans, people with allergies, toddlers, infants, pets must stay away from them.

· There’s no effect of chemicals on bed bug eggs.
