Bed bugs are a terrifying thing to get. Figuring out how to Get rid of them can be challenging considering most people don’t know where to start. Meanwhile you must deal with bites, itches, and rashes. Because of the frenzy associated with these critters, the market is full of con-artists who tries to take advantage of the folks who are fearful and desperate.

Let’s look at the different options you have when trying to kill these pesky pests:

Starvation

Many people try to get rid of bed bugs by vacating a bed bug infested room. It may sound like a great idea but not an effective solution because bed bugs can survive without eating for 100s of days.

Pesticide

There are many kinds of pesticides on the market. The store-bought pesticide hardly ever works.

The only pesticides that are somewhat effective are the ones carried exclusively by exterminators. These hazardous chemicals can pose health risks and necessitate you to leave your home but can be effective if every bed bug is covered with the chemical. This is not very likely which is the reason most professional bed bugs exterminators prefer to use heater.

Most store-bought pesticides are known to be “repellants.” The smell of these chemical will send bed bugs running into walls or underneath carpets. They will lay their eggs before dying, and a few days later, you are back with bed bugs again. Even when it works, treatment comes at a very high price. Don’t be surprised a quote from professional that is $1000 or more.

Unfortunately, store-bought bombs, sprays and foggers never eliminate bed bugs completely. In fact, they are known to make your problem considerably worse. If bed bugs are “repelled” into walls and adjoining rooms, it is making your problem worse.

Heat Treatment

Research demonstrated that bed bugs easily die at temperatures of 120°F in less than 2 minutes. Bed bugs exterminator have exploited this fact to heat rooms and entire homes to kill bed bugs, with no contamination or health risks. Unfortunately, heaters take a few hours to operate, and the professional need to charge for their time. This isn’t very efficient when you realize how easy it is to operate the equipment.
