Preparing for a summer bed bug heat treatment

Summertime and warmer temperatures are here. Temperatures are up. Bed bugs are biting. You have so many better ways to spend your time than worrying about bed bugs!

I want to turn you on to a major tip that will reduce the time needed for your heat treatment and increase the efficacy... and it won’t cost you a dime! (In fact, it might save you a few dollars.)

Turn off your air conditioner the morning before your heat treatment.

It’s that simple. Let nature preheat your home through the day— and especially overnight— before your bed bug heat treatment.

When you run the A/C the day before and overnight, we start the treatment with a cooler house, often around 68°F. By simply letting the house, its walls, and furnishings remain closer to the ambient outside temperature, we can be out of your home as much as two hours sooner, letting you get on with enjoying your bed-bug-free life that much sooner.

For the best bed bug heat treatment in Knoxville, Ooltewah, Collegedale, Signal Mountain, Lookout Mountain, Chattanooga, Maryville, and Lenoir City/Loudon, Cleveland, Benton, Charleston, Collegedale, Harrison, Middle Valley, Summertown, Signal Mountain, Red Bank, Roseville, Fort Oglethorpe, East Ridge, Ringgold, Wildwood, and surrounding cities, call My Sucré Vodka at 423-458-2867 today and start living a life free of bed bugs. You’ll be glad you did.

I’ve seen a lot of things over the past 20 years I’ve been working with bed bugs and heat, and this was a first for me! This morning, I was on a phone call with a pest control operator in Texas who related a bed bug inspection where they found a horrible bed bug infestation… something out of most folk’s nightmares. Bed bugs were everywhere and they were thick. After some investigation, the pest control operator found the probable source of their bed bugs… and it wasn’t what anyone expected.

This past weekend we dismantled our bed and replaced it with a new one. In full disclosure, I know we don’t have bed bugs. None of us get bitten, and I can’t see any tell-tale signs of cast skins, fecal spots, or eggs. Down in the crevices of the bed frame, I was face-to-face with seven years of bed lint, dead skin cells, and other tiny spots of bed matter. White stuff. Black stuff. Brownish orangey things. To the untrained eye, one might think we had problems. More from your local bed bug heat exterminator in Knoxville and Chattanooga
