TREATMENT
•Doctor Kells suggests that some strains are 100-12000 times resistant to our commonly used pesticides.
•All avenues of control must be utilized. This may include steam, heat, cold, mattress covers, laundering and drying, fast acting pesticides utilizing dust, liquid and aerosols, vacuuming etc. If we have it in our toolbox we should employ it for best results. Treatments should focus on CONTAINMENT.
•We must spread out from the primarily infested areas to encapsulate and eliminate and prevent spread. Concentration should be on targeting the insects directly and no reliance should be placed on residual insecticides intercepting bed bugs.
•Cold temperatures below 55 degrees stop bed bug development and egg production. Temperatures over 114 degrees will kill bed bugs. 131 Degrees for 10 minutes will kill all eggs.
•Extreme heat will control bed bugs but achieving these temperatures in domestic habitats is extremely difficult. Luckily we have the equipment and expertise to ensure complete eradication.
•We use the Temp-Air system. Visit them at www.thermalremediation.com
