Bed Bug Control
Don't Let the Bed Bugs Bite
Bed bugs, scientifically called Cimex lectularius, are attracted to increased levels of carbon dioxide. When humans are asleep, we inadvertently exhale elevated levels of carbon dioxide because of our altered breathing patterns—which leads bed bugs to bite during the night.
Â
These pests generally leave bites on the upper half of the body—closer to the carbon dioxide emittance. Another indication of a bed bug infestation is the presence of tiny, reddish spots on your sheets or pillows—or crushed bed bugs.
Â
If you notice signs of a bed bug infestation, it’s crucial to alert an experienced exterminator immediately. Here at Canady’s, our technicians have the skillset and expertise you need to rid your home of bed bugs through a strategic process of inspection, elimination, and long-term prevention.
Heat Treatment
The most effective way to get rid of bed bugs is through heat treatment. This involves heating up the interior of your home for an extended amount of time, which has proven to kill bed bugs in every life stage. However, preparations will need to be made for safety and the protection of your belongings.
Please consult the bed bug treatment checklist and make preparations prior to the heat treatment. We will also walk you through these steps before performing the heat treatment.
Why Is Heat Treatment Effective Against Bed Bugs?
Bed bugs cannot survive high temperatures. Studies have shown that bed bugs of all life stages (including eggs) will die if subjected to temperatures of 120 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. With our heat treatments raising the temperature in your home to this level, the bed bugs don’t stand a chance.
Propane Heated Bed Bug Treatment
In order to heat your home to the right temperature for bed bed eradication, we will set up a propane heater outside and construct duct work to carry the heat into the different areas of your home. We will monitor the temperature with special probes all over your home, including the insides of walls where the bugs often take up residence.
