There are a number of options to effectively get rid of bed bugs, but sometimes it can get confusing when trying to decide which option would be best for your situation. Here is some basic information regarding the two most common methods used by pest management companies to kill bed bugs.

Whole Room Heat Treatments
heat treatment equipment used for bed bug controlWhole room heat treatments involve a Pest Management Professional (PMP) bringing in specially designed equipment to raise the temperature in your home to kill the bed bugs. Bed bugs and eggs die within 90 minutes at 118°F (48°C) or immediately at 122°F (50°C). During a heat treatment, the air temperature in the room is typically between 135°F (57.2°C) and 145°F (62.7 °C). The (PMP) will place remote thermometers throughout the home, to make sure the right temperatures are reached. The PMP watches the thermometers closely to ensure that it gets hot enough to kill bed bugs. A heat treatment typically takes between six and eight hours, depending on the condition of the area being treated.

During the heat treatment pets and any heat sensitive items that may melt or be damaged at temperatures up to 150°F degrees should be removed from the area being treated. But this can never work in African, Nigeria as a case study our environment is different from Europe's, we Nigeria put a lot of loads under our bed instead of putting them in stores this gives a rooms for bed bugs be difficult to treat or eradicate and reason is d way we put ours clothing on d bed.

2Heat treatments do not offer any residual effects and your home could quickly become reinfested after a heat treatment if prevention steps are not taken.

Often, a residual insecticide will be applied to the border of the home/room being treated for bed bugs as a prevention step.

Insecticide Treatments
Insecticide treatments that are conducted thoroughly and can be a very effective way of controlling bed bugs. Three different types of insecticides should be used in order to achieve the best result. There are many different brands of insecticides but one of each of the following broad categories should be used.

A fast-acting, contact insecticide for use on surfaces that humans frequently touch, i.e. sofas.
A residual insecticide for inside furniture, cracks and crevices and the underside of surfaces we touch.
A dust insecticide for cracks, crevices and voids, such as electrical outlets and baseboardsbaseboards

We strongly recommend against trying to conduct an insecticide treatment for bed bugs by yourself. Controlling bed bugs with insecticides is a challenging and time consuming process which requires expertise and in many cases nose have to be fully protected is to apply the insecticides which kill bed bugs.
