F.A.Q.
The high heat draws the insects out of hiding, whether they are in bedding, TV sets, night stands, alarm clocks, behind pictures, or imbedded in computer keyboards and monitors. The heat dehydrates the bed bugs, melts their cell membranes, destroys the bugs’ enzymes, and coagulates their proteins.
Bed bugs are attracted to body heat. In a similar fashion, it is our experience that bed bugs emerge from hiding and are attracted to the heat from the heaters rather than seeking routes to escape.
Treatment times will vary depending on the size and construction of the structure, the level of infestation, the type of contents, etc. We have found the average time to treat a typical apartment to be 6-8 hours from set up to tear down.
Not when using a Thermal Remediation® system properly. All electronics have a storage temperature and an operational temperature. Storage temperatures typically allow electronics to be subject to up to 149°F. The EBB heaters are digitally locked not to exceed temperatures of 135ºF. All electronic equipment within the space should be unplugged during a heat treatment.
The typical treatment is between 6-8 hours. Once the treatment is complete you will be able to return to your home immediately.
