Steam/Heat for bedbugs. What do you do..... 

One of the most simple home remedies--- heat is highly effective of cleaning surfaces and exterminating mites, bed bugs and their eggs. Like humans, bed bugs and mites cannot survive extreme heat. The thermal death point for the common bed bug is 120 °F; therefore, washing bed linens and clothes in the dryer with this thermal setting will generally kill all bed bugs.  (IF you are suspecting the unwelcome guest, but unsure, first get a bedbug tracker, to first search for them where they are in the house.  Then you get a professional.)  

For big items, that cannot be washed with hot water -- such as a mattress, the use of hot steam from a professional grade bed bug steamer can be used effectively to kill both bed bugs and their eggs instantaneously even if they are hidden deep within the pores of mattress. To be an effective bed bug steamer, experts recommended that the steam coming out from the tip of the cleaner needs to be above 200 °F (as compared to 120 °F of heat that will only kill bed bugs on contact but not those that are hidden deep inside the mattress or sofa.  Our steam machine puts out 330 Degrees.)****We cannot totally know that treatment removes all bed bugs from a  household, as the other parts of the house--walls- carpets and other furniture may have them as well. A professional bed bug exterminator is recommended for severe infestations.  

Mattress Encasement for bedbugs

If you are getting bitten regularly from bed bugs, bed bug mattress covers can be use as an effective non-chemical remedy to get immediate relief and comfort from the bed bug bites. These encasements seal off the entire mattress completely leaving no gap for the bed bugs to enter or escape through. Similarly, these encasements should also be use for your pillows as well. You will then need to keep the covers on for at least a year to eventually kill any bed bugs trapped within.

For these encasements to be effective, you will also need to:

• isolate the bed away from the wall to prevent bed bugs from crawling from the wall onto the bed
• apply double-sided duct tape around each leg of the bed to act as sticky barrier from the crawling bugs, as well as,
• do not let any clothing or items hang off the bed and touch the floor.

Key Points To Note When Choosing A Bed Bug Steamer Professional

• It should be safe and non toxic (meaning it should only uses tap water)
• It should have the right attachments to sanitize mattress, furnitures, floors as well as hard to reach areas.
• Always choose a dry vapor (low moisture) steamer as it significantly reduce the risk of mold developing while you are trying to get rid of bed bugs.
• The heat from the steam should be at least above 200°F (or 90°C) to kill bed bugs effectively. (Though bed bugs die at a temperature of 120°F in hot water, steam vaporize quickly into the air therefore you will need a steamer with heat above 200°F at the tip to be effectively in killing bed bugs directly.)

• Clear the house or room of any general clutter, so that it will be easier to clean the affected areas and the extermination attempts will be more effective.
