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.
What Bed Bug Exterminators Don’t Want You To Know
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.
5 Reasons Why We Are Fastest Bed Bug Exterminators in Florida
Find out why most bed bug exterminators fail and why K&A Pest Control is the fastest and most reliable bed bug exterminator in Florida.
The 3 biggest reasons why pesticides are not effective for bed bug extermination.
- Every pesticide approved in the USA market under FIFRA ( Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act ) and used for bed bugs, was specifically developed for insects other than bed bugs. Only when those pesticides’ patent protection was about to expire, bed bug use was added to the list of insects on the label to extend the patent protection effectively giving the product a couple more years. Bed bugs are unique in many ways beginning with feeding habits, resistance building, harborage, and reproduction to name a few.
- Every pesticide on the market utilizes a deterrent component. The deterrent component simply alerts the insect to the existence of the pesticide sending a message to the insect “It is dangerous for you here. Go elsewhere “. So far no problems, as long as you are dealing with insects entering your house from the outside. You apply the product on the exterior walls and all is fine. Well, bed bugs don’t live outdoors and don’t crawl into your home through doors and windows. Bed bugs can be transported into our homes on our clothing, furniture, and potentially any item that is brought in by us or our visitors. Or, in a multifamily building setting or a hotel, they can travel from one unit to the adjacent unit.
Therefore, if you apply a pesticide in one area you will simply push the bed bugs into the other area of your home where the pesticide was not used practically spreading the infestation. If you apply the pesticide throughout the entire house, the bed bugs will look for shelter in wall voids, cracks and crevices that the pesticide did not reach into, making proper bed bug extermination far more difficult and expensive. Btw. cracks and crevices are bed bug’s favorite places to live as they love to feel pressure on both sides of their bodies.
- Imagine for a moment there was a pesticide that was effective for bed bugs and safe for you, your family, and your pets. If somehow, the bed bug or bed bug egg was exposed to but survived the treatment with that pesticide, within 2 generations the offspring will be 100% resistant to that pesticide. That translates to around 150 days on the long side or as little as 30 days under some conditions.
Hopefully, by now you realize why there are no effective and safe pesticides on the market and why pesticide manufacturers are not rushing to develop new products.
Here, at K&A Pest Control we recognized that 14 years ago and this is when we dedicated ourselves 100% to the safe, effective, and non-toxic treatment of bed bugs using mostly mechanical methods and a true IPM ( Integrated Pest Management ) against which bed bugs simply can not defend or adapt.
