One Of The Biggest Myths: “I’m Sure I Have Bed Bugs Only In This Room “

In this video, I will explain why one room is NEVER case.

It is more of a wishful thinking that is often supported due to the lack of knowledge about bed bugs and comparing them to other household insects.

“Are bed bugs taking over your home?

One of the most common statements we hear from customers is, ‘The bed bugs are only in one room,’ or ‘It’s mostly in one room.’ But the truth is, unless you caught that bed bug the very moment it entered your home (statistically near-impossible), it’s never just one room.

Bed bugs are experts at spreading, and treating only one room is not enough to solve the problem.

In this video, we’ll break down why a ‘one-room treatment’ approach doesn’t work and why it’s critical to treat your entire home.

Bed bugs are highly mobile, spreading through cracks in walls, electrical outlets, and baseboards, and even hitching a ride on your clothes or belongings. If you only treat one room, you’re leaving other parts of your home as a safe haven for these pests. Once they’re in, they lay up to 7 eggs per day, meaning untreated areas become breeding grounds, and reinfestation is inevitable.

Here’s what happens when you only treat one room:

1. Reinfestation Risk: Bed bugs hiding in untreated areas will eventually migrate back to the treated room.

2. Wasted Money: A single-room treatment might seem cost-effective upfront, but you’ll likely spend much more on repeated treatments when the infestation spreads again.

3. No Guarantee: At K&A Pest Control, we can’t provide our 12-month guarantee unless the entire house or apartment is inspected and treated. This is because bed bugs spread fast, and partial treatments simply don’t get the job done.

 The Solution? A comprehensive, whole-house treatment to ensure every room is inspected and treated properly.

This approach eliminates the infestation at its root and prevents bed bugs from coming back.

At K&A Pest Control, we specialize in bed bug extermination and offer complete solutions designed to give you peace of mind and a bug-free home.

Don’t fall for the trap of thinking it’s just one room.

Top 3 Reasons Bed Bug Problem Continues

Excessive clutter is very high on list of top 3 reasons your bed bug treatments don’t work.

Number one, by far is the wrong treatment method. If you are using pesticides your chances of solving a bed bug problem on your own is near zero. Even with the help of a professional exterminator your ads of winning against bed bugs are extremely low. What we hear all the time from our callers is “I thought I had this done. Bed bugs were gone for 2 weeks, 2 months or even 8-12 months an then they returned …

Well, sometimes you or someone visiting you might be bringing more bed bugs into your home but that happens very seldom. What happens most often is the pesticides you continue using ( the repellent component in the pesticide ) simply keep sending a message to bed bugs that it isn’t safe for them. The repellency does not last forever ( 2-4 weeks from each application ). It does not kill them and it hurts your and your family’s health a lot more than it hurts bed bugs.

If you decide to have this done professionally or by yourself using the ambient heat method the chances of eliminating bed bugs are higher than by using pesticides but far from what you expect and way below our standards which is why we abandoned this method of treatment 7 years ago. The biggest problem with the ambient heat method is how complicated the proper application of it is and the complete lack of residual protection. Meaning, even if you were one of the few lucky people who could get rid of them with the ambient heat treatment, there is nothing to keep bed bugs at bay if even one is reintroduced or even one survives the treatment.

 

Number two.  Not following directions from the bed bug professionals you hired or hiring professionals that give wrong directions.  That point is closely related to the previous one as people using low-success methodology will have very little knowledge of proper post-treatment protocol.

Shocking Reasons Why Ambient Heat Fails Against Bed Bugs. Part 2

Think ambient heat will eliminate your bed bug problem? Think again! While it sounds convenient, ambient heat treatments often fail to reach the required temperatures in hidden areas like cracks, crevices, and furniture where bed bugs thrive. Worse yet, some bed bugs may even survive, leaving you with a recurring nightmare. In this video, we break down why relying on ambient heat isn’t nearly as effective as you might think—and what better alternatives are available for long-term results.

Another critical problem with ambient heat treatments is the use of insufficient equipment. Proper bed bug extermination requires specialized equipment that maintains high temperatures consistently throughout the treatment area. Many DIY solutions and even some professional treatments fail because the equipment used cannot sustain the necessary heat levels to penetrate all the areas where bed bugs may be hiding. Bed bugs can burrow deep into mattresses, furniture, and wall voids, and if the heat does not reach these critical areas, the pests will survive and the infestation will continue. Heat sinks present another challenge in the use of ambient heat for bed bug extermination. Heat sinks are areas or materials that absorb and dissipate heat, making it difficult to maintain the high temperatures needed to kill bed bugs throughout the entire space. Common heat sinks include large pieces of furniture, thick walls, and insulated spaces, which can create cool spots where bed bugs can survive. This uneven distribution of heat can result in partial treatment, allowing bed bugs to escape lethal temperatures and re-infest the treated area once it cools down. Finally, a significant drawback of ambient heat treatment is the lack of residual protection. Unlike chemical treatments, which can leave behind a residual effect that continues to kill bed bugs over time, heat treatment only affects the pests during periods of high temperatures. Once the heat dissipates, there is no ongoing protection to prevent re-infestation. Bed bugs are notorious for hitchhiking on clothing, luggage, and other personal items, which means new infestations can occur easily if preventative measures are not in place. This lack of residual action means that heat treatment often needs to be repeated, adding to the cost and inconvenience for homeowners.
