Bed Bug Heaters FAQ, Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I know if I have bed bugs?

Common signs include small reddish-brown bugs, tiny white eggs, shed skins, dark or rusty-colored spots on bedding, and a sweet, musty odor. Bite marks may appear but are not always reliable—some people never show bites at all.

2. Are bed bugs dangerous?

Bed bugs do not transmit diseases, according to the CDC. However, their bites can cause itching, allergic reactions, and stress. Infestations often worsen if not addressed quickly.

3. How does heat treatment kill bed bugs?

Bed bugs—and their eggs—die when exposed to temperatures of 120–140°F for an extended period. Our professional-grade heaters raise the temperature safely and evenly throughout the room, reaching cracks, crevices, and hiding spots where chemicals cannot.

4. Can I do the treatment myself?

Yes. Our heater rental packages are designed for homeowners. We provide the equipment and clear step-by-step instructions, allowing you to eliminate bed bugs without paying thousands for a pest control company.

5. How long does the heat treatment take?

Most treatments take 24 hours per room, depending on room size and clutter levels. The goal is not just reaching the temperature but maintaining it long enough to ensure every stage of the bed bug lifecycle is killed.

6. Is heat treatment safe for my home?

Yes. Heat is safe for almost all household items. We will provide a checklist of items to remove—such as candles, cosmetics, aerosols, and heat-sensitive materials—to ensure a smooth and safe process.

7. What areas do you serve?

We provide bed bug heater rentals to homes in:

Mansfield, Grand Prairie, Arlington, Midlothian, Venus, Waxahachie, De Soto, Irving, Duncanville, Dallas, and Fort Worth, Texas.

8. Will bed bugs come back after treatment?

They won’t survive the heat, but they can be reintroduced through guests, luggage, used furniture, or travel. We recommend mattress encasements, reducing clutter, and routine inspections after trips to reduce the risk.

9. What should I do to prepare?

You’ll receive a full prep checklist. Generally, you will:

• Declutter the room

• Move furniture slightly away from walls

• Remove heat-sensitive items

• Wash and dry bedding on high heat

• Keep the room closed during the treatment

10. Do I need to stay out of the home during treatment?

Yes, people and pets must leave the treatment area until temperatures cool back to normal. We’ll advise when it’s safe to re-enter.

11. How much does the heater rental cost?
