Heat Treatment
Bed bugs spread quickly, which is why fast action matters. We often provide same-day or next-day inspections across Richmond and surrounding Central Virginia communities.
Bed bug problems are stressful enough without drawing attention. Unmarked service vehicles are available upon request to help keep your inspection or treatment private.
Our treatment methods are designed to eliminate bed bugs while prioritizing the safety of your household. We explain preparation steps and safety guidelines before any treatment begins.
Every treatment is backed by a six-month warranty, giving homeowners and property managers added confidence that the infestation has been handled properly.
Bed bug heat treatment uses targeted high temperatures to kill bed bugs at every life stage. This includes eggs, which are usually the hardest to eliminate. The process is simple but extremely effective.
Professional technicians bring in special heating equipment that raises the temperature in your home to between 120 and 140 degrees. Bed bugs can’t survive in this heat. They die within minutes of exposure, along with their eggs.
Everything starts with a professional inspection. Remove heat sensitive items from your home. This includes things like candles, crayons, vinyl records, certain plastics, medications and aerosol cans. We provide a detailed list when you book your appointment.
You don’t need to do the extensive prep work required for chemical treatments. Your clothes can stay in drawers. Books can stay on shelves. Furniture stays right where it is.
Plan to be out of your home for 6 to 8 hours. Many customers in Short Pump and Tuckahoe use this time to run errands, catch a movie or visit local attractions. Pets need to leave too, so it’s a great day to take your dog to the park or board them at a kennel.
Our technicians monitor everything remotely using the temperature sensors. We adjust the equipment as needed to maintain the proper heat levels throughout your home.
When you return home, everything is back to normal temperature. You can sleep in your own bed that very night. There’s no chemical smell, no residue to clean up, and most importantly, no more bedbugs.
We stand behind our work with a warranty. We follow-up and monitor but ff you see any signs of bed bugs after treatment, we come back and retreat your home at no additional cost.
Professional heat treatment requires specialized equipment that costs tens of thousands of dollars. The heaters produce much more heat than regular space heaters you can buy at the store. The fans distribute that heat evenly throughout your home.
Temperature monitoring systems make sure every corner of your home reaches lethal temperatures. Without this professional equipment, you can’t effectively treat an infestation on your own.
Our technicians know exactly how to position equipment for maximum effectiveness. They understand how heat moves through different types of homes and building materials. This expertise ensures complete elimination of your bed bug problem.
Homes in Ashland with different floor plans than those in Doswell require different heating strategies. Our team has treated thousands of properties across the region and knows how to adapt to each unique situation.
Amateur attempts at heat treatment often fail because the temperature doesn’t get high enough or isn’t maintained long enough. Professional bed bug heat treatment gets it right the first time.
You save money in the long run by investing in professional treatment upfront. The cost of one professional heat treatment is less than multiple failed DIY attempts plus ongoing chemical treatments.
Nothing feels worse than lying in bed knowing bugs are crawling on you. Many people in Mechanicsville and Short Pump tell us they sleep on their couches or even in their cars to avoid their bedrooms. This lack of sleep affects your work performance, relationships and overall health.
You’ve probably tried everything already. Bug sprays from the store barely make a dent. Those foggers just push bed bugs deeper into hiding spots. Chemical treatments from other companies require multiple visits over several weeks, and the bugs often come back anyway.
Homeowners in Hanover and Goochland waste hundreds of dollars on products that simply don’t solve the problem. The bugs hide in tiny cracks and crevices where sprays can’t reach them.
Between buying sprays, replacing furniture, washing everything you own and missing work, the costs add up quick. Some families in Petersburg and Prince George spend over $5,000 trying to get rid of bed bugs on their own before calling professionals.
Landlords and property managers in Sandston and Tuckahoe face even bigger problems. Empty units mean lost rent. Tenants threaten legal action. The reputation of the property takes a hit that lasts for years.
People think bed bugs only infest dirty homes, but that’s completely wrong. These pests don’t care if your house in Ashland or Doswell is spotless. They only care about finding their next blood meal.
Still, the shame is real. You don’t want to tell friends or family. You worry about bringing bugs to someone else’s home. Kids don’t want to invite friends over for birthday parties.
Every pest control company claims they can fix your problem. Some use outdated methods that don’t work. Others charge huge fees for treatments that require you to leave your home for days. Families in Dinwiddie and New Kent tell us they’ve been burned by companies that took their money and failed to solve the infestation.
Every job begins with a careful inspection to confirm the presence of bed bugs and determine the severity of the infestation. Our technicians examine mattresses, furniture, baseboards and other common hiding areas to locate bed bugs and identify how far the infestation has spread. This inspection allows us to recommend the most effective treatment method for your situation.
Before treatment begins, we provide clear preparation instructions to help ensure the treatment is successful. This may include simple steps such as reducing clutter, preparing bedding or clothing and making sure technicians have access to key areas where bed bugs may be hiding.
Once preparation is complete, our team performs the recommended treatment using professional methods such as heat treatment, Aprehend®, or a hybrid combination approach. These treatments are designed to eliminate bed bugs at every stage of their life cycle, including eggs that many DIY treatments fail to reach.
After treatment, we remain available and follow-up and monitor to answer questions and provide guidance to ensure the infestation does not return. Our treatments are backed by a six-month warranty, giving homeowners and property managers confidence that the problem has been resolved.

The temperatures used in bed bug heat treatment are safe for almost everything in your home. Wood furniture, clothing, mattresses and electronics all handle the heat without any problems. We only ask you to remove specific heat sensitive items beforehand.
Think about it this way. Your attic in Mechanicsville or Goochland probably reaches these temperatures on hot summer days. Your belongings survive just fine.
Most homes can be treated in 6 to 8 hours. Larger homes or severe infestations might take a bit longer. We give you an accurate time estimate after inspecting your property.
One treatment eliminates the infestation in most cases. Our warranty covers you if any bugs somehow survive, but that rarely happens with professional heat treatment.
This is where heat treatment really shines. Bed bug eggs are incredibly tough. They resist most chemical treatments, which is why those approaches require multiple visits. Heat kills the eggs just as effectively as it kills adult bugs.
Heat treatment kills all the bed bugs in your home at the time of treatment. However, you could potentially get new bed bugs later if you bring them in from somewhere else. This isn’t a failure of the treatment. It’s a new infestation from an outside source.
We teach you how to inspect used furniture before bringing it home. We explain how to check hotel rooms when traveling. Simple precautions dramatically reduce your risk of future infestations.
Professional bed bug heat treatment costs more upfront than a single chemical treatment. However, it saves you money over time because you only need one treatment instead of multiple visits.
The exact cost depends on the size of your home and the severity of the infestation. A small apartment in Sandston costs less to treat than a large house in New Kent. We provide free quotes after inspecting your property.
Consider what you’re already spending on store bought sprays, laundry, replacement furniture and lost sleep. Heat treatment eliminates all those ongoing costs immediately.
Many of our customers in Prince George and Dinwiddie tell us they wish they had called us first instead of wasting money on methods that didn’t work.
