The challenge of pests has multiplied in today’s world of urbanization and increased travel. Bed bugs can cause significant issues for hotels, hospitals and other establishments.
A bed bug infestation can cause considerable risks to health, business continuity, and reputation.
At Gregory Pest Solutions, we treat them with our Thermal Remediation solution.
It’s designed with expertise to completely eradicate bed bugs wherever they hide deep in cracks, crevices, and other inaccessible areas. Chemical-free and non-toxic, it’s an effective, efficient and environmentally responsible eradication treatment.
To eliminate bed bugs and their eggs, we use industrial strength electric heaters to heat the inside of treated areas to over 120° F which is lethal to bed bugs. At Gregory Pest Solutions, we tackle the infestation that you see and the source you can’t. Which greatly reduces the risk of them returning.
Bed bugs are prolific breeders. In batches of 10-50, over two months they can lay 200 – 500 eggs. That's a lot of bed bugs to share your bed space.
Depending on the favourable conditions, they usually live from about 50 days to over a whole year,, which is why we say “as snug as a bug”. Worse still, they won’t just be with you for a while, they’ll be continuously breeding and multiplying rapidly. So treating a bed bug infestation early is vital.
Bed bugs are cunning at hiding. So they crawl into cracks and crevices wherever they can and not just in beds and box springs. Bed bugs can hide in bedlinen, clothes, behind headboards, picture frames, and mirrors, plus in couches, chairs, and soft furnishings. So it’s not just your bedroom that may be infested, it could also be your family room. Professional treatment is the answer to bed bug nightmares.
Chemicals can miss bed bug eggs, so infestations are free to flare up again. Heat treatments are designed to reach all hidden cracks and crevices, leaving no residue or mess.
Our heat treatment is better as it’s non-toxic and targets every life stage of bed bugs: eggs, nymphs and adults. So even the most resilient bed bugs have no escape, which gives you a more thorough solution.
Heat treatment can also be particularly effective where pests have developed resistance to chemical treatments.
