Watch us kill bed bugs with heat

Bed bugs drop dead.

We will do this for you

This home was previously treated multiple times by a local company with chemicals and pesticides only a couple months earlier. This video shows that it wasn’t effective: the results speak volumes. I believe they missed at least one. This customer is now bed-bug free thanks to a successful Thermal Remediation. Heat treatments properly done will kill bed bugs and their eggs without damage to customer’s property or belongings. Again, properly done is key!

Heat vs Chemical Treatments

We are the leader in the Pennsylvanialand bed bug treatment industry. Our innovative technology and convective heat methodologies have proven to be the most effective system for a complete bed bug eradication solution.


We use portable electric and propane heaters. These eco-friendly devices elevate the ambient temperature to a level that is lethal for bed bugs yet safe for the contents of your home. The unit disperses and convects heated air throughout your entire house so that it warms every location that pests might hide... even places chemical or pesticide treatments cannot easily reach. Heat treatments eliminate the requirement to use toxic pesticides inside your home and the potential for lingering chemical residue. Our professionally-trained and certified technicians can safely eliminate the bed bugs in one treatment without damaging your home. Temperatures within the treatment area are never higher than what is found in a shipping container being transported across the desert in the summer.

What Do Bed Bugs Look Like?

Bed bugs are small, oblong, reddish-brown insects that vary in size, from the size of a small pinhead in early nymph stages, to the size of a large apple seed when mature adults.

Very mature bed bugs can grow to sizes that are almost as large as a fingernail. Most bed bugs are the size of an apple seed.

Bed bug eggs are white and cylindrical, and roughly two to three grains of sand in length. They’re tiny and can often be overlooked when checking a mattress for signs of a bed bug infestation. Newly hatched bed bugs are scarlet red immediately after their first feeding, and darken to a reddish-brown as they continue to mature.

Bed bugs do not jump or fly, which may help distinguish them from other parasites that feed on blood such as fleas, ticks, or mosquitoes; or bite or sting such as flies, bees, wasps, beetles, or gnats.

 

Bill and his assistant did an awesome job! In one day only all the misery has been eliminated. I am so happy to be bug free, words cannot express. We really appreciated the way Bill answered all our questions, and was committed 100% to resolving our problem. He is confident in his treatment, respectful of the homeowner and runs his business with integrity. Thank you!

Bed Bug Pictures

The various life stages of bed bugs vary slightly in appearance. Baby or newly-hatched bed bugs tend to be translucent immediately after birth, but are scarlet red immediately after their first feeding. Bed bugs molt their exoskeleton or shed their skin multiple times as they feed and continue to grow and transition between each life cycle. Newly-hatched bed bugs are translucent in color, but are scarlet red in color immediately after their first feeding.

The following image contains a handful of stages of bed bugs, including some of the very early nymph stages that are a scarlet red color, along with older and larger adults that have a much darker reddish-brown color.

What Causes Bed Bugs?

Contrary to the stigma that is typically associated with bed bugs regarding excessive clutter or lack of cleanliness, neither of these actually cause bed bugs or contribute to an infestation. While clutter may provide additional areas for bed bugs to initially evade detection, the only real “cause” is that one or more bed bugs have hitchhiked on you or your clothes, or have stowed away in your belongings in hopes of finding a viable food source: you and your family.
