Is heat treatment right for your home?
The right treatment depends on what we find, the home, and your priorities. The EPA describes bed bug control as complex, so heat is one available path and preparation matters. Our heat-treatment preparation guide explains how to get ready before the appointment. If you are weighing methods, our guide to whether heat treatment kills bed bugs can help frame the conversation.
For homes where there are no visible signs, see our independent K9 inspection referral for a possible early-infestation next step.
For another treatment option and its timeline, see Aprehend treatment.
What we see on the job
I start with the treatment plan for the home in front of me and explain what needs to be accessible before work begins. I keep the planning practical: commuter townhomes may need a clear, coordinated plan for the appointment, but I do not treat that planning context as proof of an infestation or as a promise that heat is the right method. For treatment-day timing and preparation details, use our heat treatment guide.
