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.

Many homeowners believe mattress and box spring encasements are the silver bullet for bed bug infestations.
While these encasements work wonders on standard beds, they often fall short when used on sofas and recliners. The truth is that these pieces of furniture present unique challenges that make encasements not only ineffective but also a potential waste of money.

Sofas and recliners are designed with countless seams, crevices, and folds—perfect hiding spots for bed bugs. Unlike standard beds, these pieces often have no legs where climbup monitors can be installed, making it nearly impossible to detect and eliminate bed bugs using traditional methods.
This is where steam treatment comes in. Steam is not only effective but essential when it comes to eradicating bed bugs from sofas and recliners. Steam can penetrate deep into the fabric, reaching every hidden corner where bed bugs are hiding.
This method kills bed bugs on contact, without harmful chemicals, making it a safe and powerful solution for your home.
After just one treatment, steam can eliminate bed bugs from your furniture, providing immediate relief and long-term protection. You won’t have to worry about poorly fitting encasements or ineffective traps—steam reaches the areas that other methods simply can’t. Don’t waste your time and money on solutions that don’t work. If you’re dealing with bed bugs in your sofas or recliners, steam treatment is your best option for complete eradication.

Not every bite is a bed bug bite. Just because you did not see it the previous day, it does not necessarily mean you received that bite while sleeping or that it is bed bug-related. And, well, the search online might most likely lead to confirming your bias. Stay informed and avoid misinformation as we debunk common bed bug myths.
Understanding the biases in online information about bed bugs is crucial. Many sources are from self-proclaimed bed bug experts who lack proper background, education, or experience, and simply seek attention through your clicks.
The pest control industry plays a significant role in pest management. Professionals and pesticide manufacturers provide essential services and products, but they also have a vested interest in promoting their solutions. Bed bugs present a very unique problem and require a unique approach. Let me know in the comment section how many of you have heard about the IPM ( Integrated Pest Management ). It is a true game changer as it removes most biases and places emphasis on a skill rather than a particular product itself. The skill of identifying the problem insect, and knowing its habitat preferences, feeding habits, and life cycle.
In this video, I will expose what bed bug exterminators don’t want you to know.
First. Did you know that over ninety-nine point nine percent of companies doing bed bug treatment use pesticides? They know these pesticides are highly ineffective and can be more dangerous to you than bed bugs. Some of them also know that it is the repellent component in the pesticide that brings temporary relief as it scares the insect away. It doesn’t actually kill it unless you drown the bed bug in it.
The temporary relief comes at the cost of spreading the infestation to other rooms in your house, hotel rooms, or adjacent apartments as the insects try to get away from the repellent component.
Watch this video to learn why and how to avoid this mistake. They ask you to prepare your home for the chemical treatment they provide for three reasons. First, the prep work, if done correctly, takes a long time and requires a lot of resources. To move furniture around may require at least two physically able people.
At K&A Pest Control, we recognize the importance of proper home preparation and the limitations homeowners may have in doing it themselves. For that reason, we provide complete home preparation for our clients. Since we don’t use any products that are dangerous for you, the homeowners can relax in the adjacent room.
Any person with minimum physical ability or training can handle a can of spray. That means they save the time and cost of a minimum of two people showing up for the treatment.
Second, after they finish spraying, they may offer you a thirty-day guarantee. They know very well the repellent component in the pesticide will most likely push bed bugs into areas they did not or could not spray and keep bed bugs at bay for around that time. After that time is up, bed bugs will return in much larger numbers. They multiply quickly. They will tell you that if the problem persists, you can call them for a free or discounted second treatment. What they don’t tell you is that, yes, you guessed it, you have to do the prep work once more. Most people give up after they spend days and energy on second prep work. This pretty much lets the exterminator off the hook. Third, bed bugs develop resistance very quickly. Imagine, even if there was an effective active ingredient that could be used in a pesticide, if a bed bug somehow survived it, its second-generation offspring would be one hundred percent resistant to that active ingredient. That could be at its longest around one hundred fifty days, or as little as fifteen days under some circumstances. You don’t have to trust my words. Verify easily everything stated here concerning bed bug biology at Kentucky University or Purdue University entomology department website.
Third. Some of the exterminators are brave or arrogant enough to take you for a fool and sign you up for a twelve-month contract when they come every month for twelve months to take care of the bed bugs and charge you five hundred dollars or something like that per month. That means you end up paying six thousand dollars and doing prep work twelve times and live with bed bugs for a year or more. That is the definition of insanity, my friends, but a clever yet very dishonest tactic by the exterminator.
