What to know and look for
STEP 1 Measure your space.
BED BUGS take 16-24 hours to eradicate. DO NOT RUSH YOUR TREATMENT.
If you want to speed your treatment, get a bigger package than your square footage calls for. Note, calculate the square footage of the area that needs treatment, not the whole house size.
LOOK THROUGH THE LIST BELOW before you calculate. EVERYTHING on the NEEDS MORE HEAT list would require an additional 50 sq ft or so.
| GOOD AND READY | NEEDS MORE HEAT (add 50 square footage per item) |
| Above 80 degrees at start | Below 70 degrees at start |
| Bed bug dies between 110 and 130 degrees. Heater is set to 130. | Furnished |
| Unfurnished, minimal furniture | High ceilings |
| 8-foot ceilings | Clutter/lots of belongings |
| No clutter, minimal belongings | Old thin windows |
| Double-pane windows, new windows | Not well insulated, 2 outside walls |
| Well insulated, 1 outside wall | Concrete construction |
| Wood frame construction | Plaster walls |
| Drywall | Concrete, tile floors |
| Carpet, hardwood floors |
Bed bugs usually bites in the cluster of 3 bites
Bed bugs bite you and lay eggs every day
Notes on Sizing and Needs
It’s better to package up and get it done, then to not have enough heat to kill your bugs. You can’t have too much equipment, but you can have not enough.
