Using Bed Bug Heat Treatment to Eradicate Bed Bugs
Bed bug infestations often occur within a couple of meters of the pests’ food source. Since they feed on human blood, this means they are often found in mattresses, box springs, carpets, headboards, and baseboards. These are sensitive places where traditional chemical treatments are out of the question. For this reason – as well as its proven effectiveness – experts agree that heat is the best solution.
We use heat to eradicate bed bugs in a single environmentally-friendly treatment. Our natural extermination process uses convection to force heat into mattresses, furniture, walls, and difficult spots to kill bed bugs in all their stages (eggs, nymphs, and adults) without the use of chemicals.

Before calling Pure Environmental, you should do a careful visual inspection yourself. You’ll find all the details and helpful photos on our visual inspection page.

How Do I Know If I Need Professional Bed Bug Removal Services?
Bed bugs are among the toughest pests to control — more difficult than cockroaches, termites, and ants. Do-it-yourself products on the market, such as bug bombs and sprays, contain chemicals that bed bugs are resistant to. Rather than kill the bed bugs, such efforts only cause them to move into other rooms, traveling through walls and spreading the infestation. While these products are enticing, they’ll only make your bed bug problem worse. We recommend calling a professional at the first sign of an infestation to ensure quick and effective treatment.
