Bed Bug Removal Richmond VA - What Are Bed Bugs

Bed bugs, bed-bugs, or bedbugs are parasitic insects of the cimicidae family that feed exclusively on blood. Cimex lectularius, the common bedbug, is the best known, as it prefers to feed on human blood. Other Cimex species specialize in other animals, e.g., bat bugs, such as Cimex pipistrelli (Europe), Cimex pilosellus (western US), and Cimex adjunctus (entire eastern US).

The name "bed bug" derives from the preferred habitat of Cimex lectularius: warm houses and especially near or inside beds and bedding or other sleep areas. Bed bugs are mainly active at night, but are not exclusively nocturnal. They usually feed on their hosts without being noticed.

Why Use Heat For Bed Bug Removal

icon-green-fireHeat treatment is the safe and effective way of getting rid of bedbugs. Bed bugs can't survive temperatures above 122 degrees. Heat can kills bugs that pesticides can't and is a safer option when dealing with bed bugs. Heat can also get into areas that chemicals cannot. Some bed bugs can now resist 1,000 times the amount of pesticide that they could ten years ago. Bed bugs have evolved three biochemical defenses against pesticides: Thicker exoskeletons, stronger nervous systems and more detoxifying enzymes. 

Pesticides are not the best choice for bed bug removal anymore with the resistance they have formed. Also pesticides in a two year span chemical bed bug treatments were linked to 81 cases of pesticide poisoning. Pesticide exposure can cause skin and eye irritation, nerve damage, disruption of the endocrine systems, cancer and even death. Why risk using pesticides to perform bed bug removal? One heat treatment can eliminate bed bugs where pesticide treatments can take up to three treatments.
