Bed bugs are not just a problem for hotels. Bed bugs are a parasite that feed off blood from humans or other animals. They are like mosquitoes that set up shop in beds and other sleeping areas. These can be beds in hospitals, hotels, dorm rooms and even people's homes. There are several ways to eradicate them, but bed bug heat treatments in St. Louis seem to be the most effective. Heat Treatment Many pest management companies will recommend killing bed bugs with excessive heat. Special equipment is used to raise the room temperature to at least 135 degrees. Once the room is all the way up to that temperature, both the adults and eggs will die off. A typical home will take between 6 and 8 hours to complete the process and clean up. Severe cases may need two or more treatments to kill off an entire bed bug infestation. Bug Sprays Insecticides can be just as effective as the heat treatment, but the process is more complicated. There are three categories of bed bug sprays that need to be used together. First there is a chemical that reacts quickly and is used on the different surfaces like couches or beds. The second is a dust for the little cracks and crevices in the walls and floors that bed bugs travel through. Finally, there is an insecticide that is inserted in the cracks of the furniture where the eggs are. Bed bugs don't just pop up out of thin air, they need to be carried in from somewhere else. A combination of various insecticides and bed bug heat treatments for St. Louis residents is the most effective way to control them. The insecticides can prevent the bed bugs from getting in while the heat treatments will kill any infestations that come up.
