If you are looking for one of the most efficient and effective ways to tackle a bed bug infestation, look no further than the steam treatment. This type of treatment will be utilized extensively in the pest management field. This is because it has been proven extremely effective time and time again. Not only does it kill the pests on contact, but it can go where other treatments cannot. In addition to this, there is an entire slew of other benefits of our professional steam treatment.

However, it should be noted right now that there are also some downsides to the treatment. Although it kills on contact, it does not produce a residual effect, meaning what is missed goes on to live another day.

If the steam does kill them instantly, they will go on to live another day. Regardless, this is why it is important to understand everything you possibly can about the treatment. This will help you determine whether or not it is the right option for you, your family, and your property.

How Does Steam Kill Bed Bugs?

When it comes to bed bug treatments, this is the first thing that everyone wonders about. This is completely understandable, as it is only natural to wonder how the treatment works. If you don’t understand how it kills, you likely won’t trust the treatment. Well, steam is pretty simple in theory. It utilizes a system that produces a high-pressure/high-heat vapor that kills bugs on contact. It is simply misted into suspected infected areas and it virtually goes to work, killing everything it comes into contact with.

Another factor that makes this treatment so effective is its versatility. Steam treatment not only kills bed bugs, but it also eliminates an entire host of crawling pests. Cockroaches, fleas, and mites, steam will make for short extermination of these very troublesome pests.

Many people have tried using clothes steamers to kill bed bugs, some have failed, while others succeeded. This is because the steam generated by these traditional steamers was not always hot enough to fully eradicate.

That being said, steamers are extremely effective when it comes to reaching behind baseboards, wallpaper, wall decorations, in electrical outlets, on clothes, on furniture, and a whole host of other materials and locations where other treatments would be ineffective.

It is not something that would be recommended by a pest management professional. It might seem like the treatment is nothing more than spraying steam into potentially infected areas, but there is much more to it than that.
