OKC Bed Bug Exterminators – Heat Kills

Bed bugs are disgusting little blood suckers that sneak out in the night, feeding on the flesh of unsuspecting human victims. In that way, they are similar to vampires, which is not good for their reputations. In fact, people hate these guys. Fortunately, unlike dreadful vampires, when a bed bug bites, the person receiving the bite does not turn into a bed bug. Instead, they turn to Oklahoma City’s top bed bug extermination team at Oklahoma Bed Bug Pro. Our trained OKC bed bug exterminators effectively remove bed bugs from homes with a proven heat elimination treatment.

It’s Getting Hot in Here

Bed bugs are similar to other bugs. They do not survive temperature extremes. However, they are able to survive in our homes because of modern climate controls. Fortunately, when we crank the heat up, these little critters do not stand a chance. In fact, prolonged exposure to extreme heat is like a wooden steak to the heart for these blood sucking parasites. Heat treatments offer a safe way to eliminate bed bugs by raising the temperature of an affected room or home.

Heat treatment works by raising temperatures to levels that denature cellular proteins in the bugs. In other words, they get cooked. Importantly, all affected structures must be raised to high heat and kept there for many hours. Effective heat treatment not only raises the temperature inside of the structure, it also raises the heat of the mass of the walls, floors, ceiling, furnishings, etc. to a level that bed bugs cannot survive.

Be cautious of cheap heat treatments. It takes a lot of energy to raise the temperature of the entire mass of a room or home for several hours at a time. For that reason, effective professional treatment is not cheap.

Proper preparation is essential for an effective treatment. The hot air must be able to flow freely and penetrate all surfaces in your home. Clutter hinders this process which is why it is crucial to take the necessary steps in order for the treatment to be successful.

Remove:

All pets, birds, fish tanks, snakes, etc.
House Plants. If weather permits, place them outside
All candles, waxes, crayons, cosmetics, etc.
All aerosol products - hair spray, paint, room fresheners, etc.
ALL COMPRESSED GASSES!!
All trash. It must be emptied and taken out.
Medications. Take what you need with you and the rest can be stored in the refrigerator.
Photos, vinyl records, etc. that may be damaged by prolonged exposure to heat.
Fire arms and ammunition.

Clean and Sort:

All floors must be clean and vacuumed.

All plastic blinds must be all the way up. The heat can warp them and make them no longer usable.

Store:

Medications. Take what you need with you and the rest can be stored in the refrigerator.

This is a good starting point but please feel free to take any additional precautions to protect your personal belongings. Check manufacturer specifications for electronics to verify safe heat temperatures to prevent damage.
