Discovering the early signs of a bed bug infestation is crucial. Our Bed Bug Inspection Services are designed to provide you with a thorough assessment, giving you the information you need for a pest-free environment.
We utilize cutting-edge technology and equipment to conduct our bed bug inspections. Our team employs advanced tools that can identify bed bug activity even in hard-to-reach areas. This ensures a comprehensive examination of your space.
Our technicians will systematically inspect each room, focusing on areas where bed bugs are most likely to hide, such as mattresses, furniture, and cracks in walls.
Our proprietary Step Two involves a three-part spray application specifically designed for the interior perimeter of your home, including walls, baseboards, and furniture. This targeted approach penetrates deep into cracks, crevices, and harboring zones where bed bugs hide. Each component of the spray plays a unique role—eliminating live bugs, disrupting their life cycle, and providing long-lasting residual protection to prevent reinfestation.
In Step Three, we deploy the Heat Assault system to raise the temperature inside the home to approximately 140°F for 5 to 7 hours, depending on the size of the home and its insulation. This advanced heat treatment ensures that when interior temperatures reach 122°F, bed bugs in all life stages—eggs, nymphs, and adults—are eliminated after just 5 minutes of exposure.
This method penetrates deep into walls, furniture, and belongings, reaching areas sprays and vacuums cannot—offering complete eradication in a single day.

It is important to turn off fire alarms and disable sprinklers as a precaution but the temperatures reached should not be high enough to set off an alarm or sprinkler. Sprinkler head covers are used to insulate them from the heat.
The process uses warm air to kill the insects. The room and all its contents will be warmed to over 125°F (the kill zone) and as high as 145°F. As a result anything that can be damaged by this heat should be removed. We have a check list which includes: candles, chocolates, pets, plants, medicines, and stringed musical instruments. Everything else should be situated so that the heat can penetrate as quickly as possible. Drawers should be opened, doors to closets opened, furniture moved away from walls, cushions lifted off of couches, mattresses angled up off of box springs, and clothes hung up or spread out so that they are no more than three inches deep.
For a typical application the bed bug heat treatment should take about six to eight hours.
Yes! If you have roaches, mice, ants, or other pests, the heat treatment will kill them too.
No, because the process uses no insecticides or chemicals. The treatment may reduce your allergic reactions because it will also kill mold spores.
Our Heat Assault equipment generates ~600,000 BTU/hour of heat energy. It would require more than eighty (80) electric heaters with 1500 watt capacity, and each of those would require its own 15 amp circuit. A typical home has 200 amp service and an apartment has much less than that. This means that you could only plug in thirteen heaters which will not get the temperatures up into the kill zone fast enough if at all. Our equipment is more than 20X more powerful than a typical furnace for a house!
Our equipment comes with its own generator that provides enough power to operate the electronics on board the system as well as the remote heat exchangers.
