<span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Does Heat Kill Bed Bugs? What Temperature Kills Bed Bugs?</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The simple answer is - <a href="http://www.greenbedbugheattreatment.ca/does_heat_kill_bed_bugs.html" target="_blank">Heat Kills Bed Bugs!</a> Heat has been scientifically proven to kill bed bugs and bed bug eggs. The question is how long does it take for heat to kill bed bugs and their eggs and what temperature must be achieved for a complete "kill"?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A great deal of study has been done in recognized institutions in the past three years on this very subject. Now there is real data backed up by leading scientific researchers that give us the answers we've been looking for!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dr. Dini Miller Ph.D is one of a few leading researchers in the field of killing bed bugs with heat. Dre Miller, among others, have concluded scientifically that not only is it possible to kill bed bugs with heat but that when properly applied, heat will kill all of the bed bugs and their eggs very efficiently.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What temperature kills bed bugs? How hot is hot enough?</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The next obvious question is... What temperature is required to kill bed bugs and their eggs? Again, a great deal of effort has gone into studying this very question. Heating a bed bug or bed bug egg to 122 degrees for less than 60 seconds will kill them. However, reputable bed bug exterminators that use heat will routinely keep the home heated to between 140 and 150 degrees for hours. The reason for this is to ensure that the heat permeates into every crack and crevice in the home - especially behind baseboards, underneath air vents and deep into soft furniture like mattresses, sofas and lounge chairs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Achieving the requisite temperature for bed bug extermination is best done via the closed loop glycol bed bug heat treatment system because the system easily achieves the required temperature kill zone quickly and it maintains that high temperature indefinitely. The glycol system is simply more efficient and much safer than other systems readily available on the market today.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">How long does it take for heat to kill bed bugs?</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The length of time that it takes heat to kill bed bugs and their eggs depends on the environment in which you find the bed bugs to begin with. Of course, the answer depends on where the bed bugs are. For example, if the bed bugs are out in the open say on the baseboards in plain sight, the heat of the treatment will directly impact the insects and it will only take a short time for he bed bugs to die. This scenario is not the common one however. More commonly, bed bugs hide in hidden places and, as a result, the heat treatment company must ensure that the temperature achieved is sufficient to ensure that all of the bed bugs and their eggs are exposed to the thermal kill temperature range.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Proper air circulation is achieved in the treatment area to ensure maximum hot air flow throughout the structure being treated.</span></div>

Bed Bug Exterminator Kitchener: Bed bugs have invaded Kitchener Ontario!</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: left;">The Kitchener area has been hard by bed bugs in the past two years and if you live in the area you certainly don't need me to tell you that. So many residents of the </span><a href="https://www.royalpest.ca/bed-bug-exterminator-kitchener.html" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;" target="_blank">Kitchener</a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: left;"> Waterloo area are reporting having a bed bug problem that pest control companies are finding it difficult to keep up with the demand for extermination services!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Just a few short years ago, bed bugs were primarily only being reported in the densely populated areas of larger cities in Southern Ontario but no more! The bed bug problem has most definitely permeated into the surrounding sub-cities and even into small rural areas as well. There are a number of reasons for this.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Around ten years ago we started seeing bed bugs being reported in the hearts of large, densely populated cities. This was due to prevalence of those that traveled and brought them in, primarily, due to international travel. Over the years, bed bugs took hold and have managed to spread to even the most remote areas of Ontario. Kind of like throwing a stone into a pond and watching the ripples expand outwards towards the bank, bed bugs have spread in much the same way.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Kitchener / Waterloo, a larger area located just West of the GTA, has unfortunately become victim to the ever-expanding bed bug problem in Ontario leaving pest control professionals scrambling to keep up with the ever-increasing demand for their services and prompting local Kitchener government personnel to provide <a href="http://chd.region.waterloo.on.ca/en/healthyLivingHealthProtection/resources/BedBug_ResourceDirectory.pdf" target="_blank">bed bug resources</a> to their residents.</span></div>
</div>
<div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Over the past ten years different bed bug extermination techniques has been developed to combat bed bugs. The two most utilized are the 'traditional' method and the 'bed bug heat treatment'.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Traditional Bed Bug Extermination</span></h3>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The 'traditional' bed bug method consists of a licensed bed bug exterminator conducting a treatment consisting of application of certain chemicals specifically designed to kill bed bugs. It will include the application of 'Class 3 pesticides', dust, aerosol application and steaming. Usually, this method, if conducted by a skilled person, will result in elimination of the bed bug problem in two visits. Depending on the severity of the infestation and the length of time it has been allowed to fester, in addition to the physical attributes of the home being treated (clutter, amount of furniture in the home etc.), it may take more than the two treatments usually planned for. In addition, there is the possibility that the bed bug infestation is '<a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/01/160128094600.htm" target="_blank">chemically resistant</a>' and there may be no way to determine this prior to the treatment protocol taking place.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
Bed bug heat treatment now available in Kitchener</span></h3>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In addition to the <a href="https://www.royalpest.ca/traditional-bed-bug-extermination.html" target="_blank">'traditional' bed bug extermination</a> methods, the has been a huge development in the fight against bed bugs in the past four years... The bed bug heat treatment. Kitchener area residents can now benefit from having a bed bug heat treatment in their area. The benefits of this type of bed bug heat extermination are many!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A bed bug heat treatment simply refers to a pest control company heating your home to above the 'thermal kill range' that kills bed bugs. <a href="http://www.greenbedbugheattreatment.ca/does_heat_kill_bed_bugs.html" target="_blank">Bed bugs will die if exposed to heat</a> for the requisite time and temperature. Although usually more expensive than the 'traditional' method, bed bug heat treatments have proven to more effective and are conducted in just one day as opposed to two or more treatments.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In addition to the above stated benefits, a bed bug heat treatment also provides the ability to kill the bed bug eggs! This is a huge step forward since pesticides in Canada will not do that. When the bed bug eggs are heated to 'kill range' they die, even if the female bed bugs deposited them in the smallest of cracks or crevices.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are a number of qualified bed bug heat treatment companies that service the Kitchener area and there are some very important things to look for when selecting the one that's right for you.</span></div>

You're frantically searching the net for information on bed bugs and how to exterminate them and you're also doing research on pest control companies that kill bed bugs... What you're also finding is a plethora of information that sometimes conflicts. When looking for a bed bug extermination company in Toronto there are some important things that you need to be aware of. We're going to explore some of these things in this article.</span></div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When looking for a company to conduct pest control for bed bugs you need to look for a number of important things in that company realizing that killing bed bugs is different from other insects.</span></div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are a number of companies in the Toronto area that have a great deal of experience in killing bed bugs. Make sure that the company you hire is licensed and that they have a lengthy track record specifically in the extermination of bed bugs. This experience goes a long way to ensuring a positive outcome for you. The exterminator should know how bed bugs operate, where they tend to hide and they should know the very best way(s) to kill them.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> The experience of your bed bug exterminator can be measured in two ways, one of which is more important than the other</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">How long has the company been exterminating bed bugs</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">How many bed bug treatments has the exterminator done</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Although both of the above are important, number "2" is more so! Many pest control companies in the Toronto area have been in business form many decades yet have relatively little experience in killing bed bugs specifically. From your perspective as the home owner, you want a company that specializes in bed bugs and who has technicians and crew that are extremely experienced.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In addition, you want to hire someone that has office staff that are very knowledgable in what you're going through as you deal with your bed bug problem. This aspect is very important and you're looking for someone that will spend the time with you to explain in detail what is to happen and how.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Only a company with at least five years experience in killing bed bugs specifically will tend to have the requisite knowledge and experience necessary to consistently and capably perform as expected.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In order for a company to use certain approved products in your home they must be licensed by the <a href="https://www.ontario.ca/ministry-environment-and-climate-change" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ministry of the Environment of Ontario</a>. Being licensed by the MOE means that they are under governmental oversight which ensures that they are conducting themselves legally and safely. As you will see in the next segment, there is one type of bed bugs treatment that does <b>NOT</b> require any governmental licensing whatsoever but you <b>NEED</b> to hire a licensed company regardless of which type of bed bug extermination you opt for!

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Choose a company that is a member in good standing with at least a couple of the following organizations - doing this lends credibility to the company you hire and shows that they are interested in keeping up on the latest information relating to bed bugs and the extermination industry.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue;">Bed bug mattress covers - Why they are so important!</span></h2>
<div>
If you've been dealing with a bed bug problem lately and have contacted a reputable pest control company for advice and/or treatment, they have most likely advised you to install bed bug mattress covers on all of your mattresses and box-springs in your home. If you've received this advice - you should take it! Here are some reasons why bed bug mattress covers are so important to your bed bug extermination process.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;">What do bed bug mattress covers do?</span></h3>
<div>
Bed bug mattress covers serve a number of important functions. Depending on the type of bed bug treatment you choose; a 'traditional' bed bug treatment consisting of the use of pesticides, dust, steaming etc., or the method that is fast becoming the most popular treatment for bed bugs - the Bed Bug Heat Treatment, there is a prominent place at the table for the use of the bed bug mattress cover.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Bed bug mattress covers - also referred to as bed bug mattress encasements - are simply a material (either a paper-like version or poly-knit, more on this below) that completely surround the entire mattress or box-spring. All versions have the ability to completely zip up to prevent bed bugs (or bed bug eggs) from exiting the seal once established. This can be particularly helpful when someone has a mattress that is so infested with bed bugs that even a thorough steam treatment will simply not be enough to kill every single bed bug or egg that may be on or in it. Bed bugs are not burrowing insects but they can and will enter the mattress through grommet holes or tears that may exist in the mattress itself.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In addition, the bed bug mattress cover is always bright white and there is a good reason for this. When a bed bug feeds on its host (you) it deposits at least one dot of fecal matter shortly thereafter. This fecal matter is always black in colour. The bright white bed bug cover acts to create a start contrast between the cover and the fecal matter thus making it measurably easier for someone to spot that bed bug activity exists. In other words, the bed bug cover acts as a reasonably good bed bug monitoring aid as well. Your <a href="http://www.greenbedbugheattreatment.ca/" target="_blank">bed bug exterminator</a> should be happy to explain all of the benefits of these covers to you.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It is very important to install bed bug mattress covers on all of the mattresses AND box-springs in your home.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;">Which kind of bed bug mattress cover is the best?</span></h3>
<div>
Choosing the best bed bug mattress cover can take time searching online or asking friends etc., suffice to say that there are essentially two basic materials that these covers are made of; A paper-like material and a 'Poly-knit' fabric. What are the basic differences between them?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The main differences between these two types of materials are that the paper-like material tends to tear easily whereas the poly-knit fabric type stretches and is manufactured to a higher tolerance for ripping and tearing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Although the poly-knit bed bug cover can be significantly more expensive than the other, if you have small children in your home or even cats with claws, it is highly recommended that you purchase this type of cover.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of noticing a tear in your bed bug cover the rule of thumb is this; If the tear is less than four inches in length you can use simple duct tape to secure it shut. Ensure that you have done this thoroughly. If the tear is greater than four inches it is recommended that you purchase another cover and install it over the torn existing one.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;">How long should I leave my bed bug mattress cover on for?</span></h3>
<div>
This question comes up a lot! The rule of thumb is that you should leave the cover on forever... It has been shown that having a cover of this type on your bed may actually help give you a better sleep. It also reduces dust in your bedroom.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you choose to remove the bed bug cover at some point make absolutely sure that you do not still have any bed bugs in your home before doing so. At the very least, you should wait eighteen months after seeing no signs of bed bugs in your home.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;">Where is the best place to buy a bed bug mattress cover in the Toronto area?</span></h3>
<div>
There are a number of good retailers that carry a variety of bed bug mattress covers in Toronto. <a href="http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/mainstays-bed-bug-allergy-mattress-encasement-queen/6000187336787" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Walmart</a> carries a number of brands and quality levels that should provide a wide enough selection for most price-points. There are also a number of good <a href="http://www.theallergyguy.com/Bed-Bug-Bedding/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">online</a> retailers for these covers as well.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When it comes to bed bug extermination, there are many tools that your extermination company will use to address the problem. Utilizing bed bug mattress and box-spring covers is part of the essential items that must be used as part of the overall strategy in eliminating bed bugs from your home.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">More people who find themselves facing a bed bug problem in their home in Southern Ontario and particularly in the Toronto area are opting for the most successful form of bed bug treatment out there - Heat!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are, however, some things that you should consider carefully when choosing a bed bug extermination company to conduct your heat treatment!</span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Choosing a bed bug exterminator to conduct your heat treatment</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When looking through the myriad of ads by bed bug extermination companies based in Toronto that use heat to kill bed bugs it is extremely important to look beyond the flashy web design and colourful graphics. Look for substance and credibility when looking for an exterminator.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chances are if you are reading this blog you've just found out that you have a bed bug problem. You've also likely done some web browsing and tried to learn as much about bed bugs as you possibly can in the limited time you've been able to research the subject. If you're like most and you've just realized that you do in fact have bed bugs your mental state is probably somewhere between moderate mental discomfort and sheer panic - Relax, this is normal and happens to everyone that first finds out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now that you've calmed down a bit its time to study-up and learn something.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are two different types of bed bug heat treatment companies:</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>1) Those with experience that are accredited, reputable and licensed</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>2) Those that are not</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When it comes to being an exterminator in the legal sense in Ontario it means that the Company and it's employees are trained, tested and licensed by the Government and its affiliates to conduct a bed bug extermination using Class 3 pesticides. Now, we're talking about heat treatment here not pesticides... right? Yes, but here's the rub... When a company is licensed by the Ministry of the Environment it also means that they must carry the requisite insurance and have standards in place for safety - among other things. Essentially, the Ministry ensures that when a licensed 'exterminator' enters your home he or she has had at least the basic training and possesses at the least the basic knowledge of what they are doing. Essentially, it means that they possess a degree of credibility and there are regular governmental audits that look at the operation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Here's the loophole! </b>Because those that use heat to kill bed bugs are not <u style="font-style: italic;">required</u> by the Ministry to also be licensed (they're not using pesticides) <b>there exists NO safeguards for YOU</b> that the person coming into your home has any clue whatsoever as to what they are doing or could tell the difference between a bed bug and a '57 Chevy! In fact, this is happening every single day in Ontario to unsuspecting people!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is a legislative loophole that allows ANYONE to call himself an 'exterminator' without having had any training, testing or oversight - <b>whatsoever </b>-<b> </b>so long as they don't use a Class 3 pesticide!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you think that's scary, try this on for size: Did you know that if you hire a bed bug heat treatment company to conduct your extermination and they don't have insurance you may be left holding the proverbial ball should something untoward take place.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Better Business Bureau Accreditation</span></h4>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Selecting a company that is BBB accredited offers some advantages to the consumer. The BBB, although far from a 'judicial body' does require that an accredited company comply with some strict regulatory policies regarding advertising (the company can't lie) and deals uniformly with any disputes that may arise between a company and its customers. In addition, the BBB awards a 'grade' based on numerous factors including how many (if any) complaints have been filed against a company, how those complaints were dealt with by the company, how long the company has been in business and confirms that the company is in fact a real company in the sense that it exists as a Corporation. In the case of bed bug exterminators, they also verify that any required Government licensing exists and is up to date.</span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's what to remember when hiring a bed bug exterminator:</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span style="text-align: justify;"></span><br />
<ol style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Make absolutely sure that the heat treatment company you hire is licensed by the Ministry of the Environment! Ask for their 'Operator License Number'</li>
<li>Ensure that the company is accredited by the Better Business Bureau (Check!)</li>
<li>Hire a company that compounds their credibility by being members in good standing with various Pest Management Associations. Examples would be SPMAO, NPMA and CPMA</li>
</span></ol>
<span style="text-align: justify;">
</span><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></span><br />
<h3>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">What to watch out for: False Accreditation & False Claims</span></span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
</span>
<br />
<div>
<ul><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<li>Watch out for companies that do not proudly display their licensing and accreditation clearly on their website!!! This is crucial!!!</li>
<li>Companies that have spent the time and effort becoming educated, becoming licensed and maintaining membership in industry organizations are proud of it! It will be on their website - look for those accreditations, if you don't see them - move on!</li>
<li>Some companies in the Toronto area are actually <u>lying</u> about being a member of the BBB! If a company is truly a member of the BBB they must link the BBB logo to their BBB profile... if it doesn't link be suspicious!</li>
<li>Some Toronto bed bug heat treatment companies have "<i>Licensed</i>" on their website - If they're not licensed by the <a href="http://www.ene.gov.on.ca/environment/en/" target="_blank">Ministry</a> they're being dishonest with you! <b><u>Being "licensed" by the manufacturer of the equipment means nothing</u>!</b> When you call, ask <b>WHO</b> licenses them - If it's not the Ministry, its meaningless.</li>
</span></ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">It's your home, you've worked tirelessly to pay for it and keep it in good shape - Do your homework! Remember, you are your best advocate. Heat is a fantastic way to kill bed bugs and, if done correctly, in just one treatment the bed bug problem is most likely solved. If you hire the <i><b>wrong</b></i> company, however, your problems may just be getting started.</span></div>

<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thinking of heat as a treatment for killing bed bugs in Toronto? Here are your options...</span></h2>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For people living in the Toronto area bed bugs have become a serious concern. Hundreds of homeowners are being exposed to these insects each and every day and although they may seem small in size, bed bugs can have a horrible impact on those that find themselves having to get rid of them!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Over the past few years a number of new options for treating a home infested with bedbugs have come to the forefront. The most promising - Heat! That's right, heating a home to the 'thermal kill range' and taking care of the problem in one fell swoop.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unlike pesticides, heat is simply that - the temperature of the air is warmed to the point where it permeates every little crack and crevice where the bugs hide and literally cooks them. An important aspect of this is that the high temperature also kills the bed bug eggs as well - no pesticide approved for use in Canada can do this.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When done properly, a bed bug heat treatment is safe, 100% effective and a true solution to the problem of bed bug eradication.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not all bed bug heat treatments are the same. As it is a relatively new process, entrepreneurial types have invented new ways to heat a home. Below, see your options and make an informed decision.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Propane</span></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The propane based system utilizes a truck that is parked outside of the home to be treated for bed bugs. Propane is burned and the associated hot air is then blown into the home through a large flexible duct. Although the air at the source of ignition is very hot, significant heat loss occurs during the airs journey through the duct. In addition, the hot air comes out of one source only - the duct which is inefficient and may cause damage to belongings inside the home.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This system gets kudos for being the first bed bug heat treatment to be introduced but, as you will see below, falls far short in many respects compared to others introduced since. In addition, there have been many reports of this system causing damage to articles located inside the treatment area.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Online reviews of companies using this type of bed bug heat treatment in Toronto show many cases of damage to belongings located in the home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">High marks for being the first but no longer recommended - there are <u>much</u> better options.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b></b><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Electric</span></b></b></div>
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span></b>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The concept of treating a home with hot air generated by simple electric heaters is not new. In the past these systems were used to treat for spores and even to dry out basements after a flood.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of great benefit to this system is the ability of the treatment technicians to move the actual source of the heat easily into the affected areas of the home that have the highest concentration of the bed bugs in them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The electric heat systems now in use for bedbugs are arguably more effective than the propane however, the heaters themselves are not extremely powerful relative to the 'HTF' (see below). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Heat treating with electric involves moving high-voltage units with their accompanying high-voltage power lines into a home. This, coupled with the heating elements themselves pose an obvious risk of fire and/or electrocution.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In addition, the electric method often takes much longer to heat the space sufficiently to ensure a total kill of the bed bugs and their eggs due to their relative lack of power. This lack of power in heating a space sufficiently and quickly enough posses the threat of repelling the bed bugs deeper into walls and crevices. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Electric heat systems are better (in some ways) and worse (in some ways) than the propane but fall far short in efficacy relative to the system described below and may pose significant safety hazards while being used.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For these reasons, the electric heat system is not recommended.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And, finally -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<b style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Our Winner!... </b><b><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">"HTF" </span></b></b></div>
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span></b>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Heat Transfer Fluid or 'HTF' system is the latest and most modern heat system for killing bed bugs. It is now available in the Toronto area.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This system is quite ingenious in its simplicity. Here are the basics of how it works...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A simple viscous fluid is heated by two high-power burners (located in a relatively small trailer) and pumped through lines to heat transfer units that are placed strategically inside the home. This system operates much like a simple radiator system. When the hot fluid goes through the heat exchanger(s) inside the home a built-in fan transfers the clean heat to the surrounding air.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Supplemental fans are placed in the space to ensure good and even airflow. The system is 'closed loop' so there is constant flow of hot fluid circulating through the system at all times. <b>This enables the system to consistently kill not only the bed bugs but also their eggs.</b></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />This type of system enables your heat treatment crew to raise the temperature of the treatment area quickly and sufficiently to ensure a 100% thorough job each and every time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The primary benefits of HTF system are:</span></b><br />
<div>
</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Absolutely no risk of fire</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sufficient temperature to ensure that the bed bugs are not repelled and guarantee a 100% kill</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's 'green' as in it does not use a huge amount of electricity or produce extra gaseous emissions</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This heat system is easy to scale for any sized job from small to very large.</span></li>
</ol>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Price</span></h2>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Considering the above mentioned comparisons it is clear that the HTF system has proven to be the safest and most effective system for bed bug heat eradication. When selecting a company for the heat job it is important to remember that killing bed bugs in this way - although extremely effective because only one treatment is necessary and there is very little preparation necessary prior to the commencement of the job - that the cost is usually higher than the traditional pesticide spray treatments, however, the benefits far outweigh the difference in pricing as most companies guarantee 100% eradication.</span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Conclusion</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When all is taken into consideration - there is simply no better option than a heat treatment to solve a bedbug problem.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: justify;">When selecting a company you are cautioned </span><b style="text-align: justify;">not </b><span style="text-align: justify;">to necessarily go with the lowest price. Ensure that the company is legitimate, ask for proof of insurance - it should be a minimum of 2 million dollars in Canada - and take heed that a company that quotes on the very low end may not necessarily take the time required to do the job correctly (they would have to do more jobs to make up for the low price and take less time per job to do so - makes sense right?!).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;">The time that it should take for a typical heat treatment is between 6 and 10 hours depending on the size of the home that is being treated and the severity of the bed bug infestation inside the home.</span></span><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Those without pets (pretty much eliminates the possibility of flees) that wake up with unexplained bites are suspecting more and more that they have been the victim of bed bug bites.</span><br />

When a new bed bug problem is present in a home it can often be very difficult to find an actual bug as they are very good at hiding and only come out to feed during the early hours of the morning - and even that only happens every seven to nine days. As bed bugs procreate quickly, it is imperative that the bed bugs be detected sooner rather than later.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bed bug detection can be accomplished in a number of ways. A trained professional has around a 30% chance of detecting bed bugs in the early stages. <a href="http://www.bedbugstoronto.net/" target="_blank">High tech devices</a> that mimic a human's body temperature, scent and CO2 can be utilized, but by far the most effective method of bed bug detection is done with bed bug dogs.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bed bug detection dogs can find a bed bug or egg quickly and with close to 100% accuracy! This can be done in as little as 30 minutes in a four bedroom home.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These two agencies accredit not only the detection dogs but also the handler that accompanies that particular dog. In other words, the dog and the handler are certified as a team and they have proven their skills together in a number of important ways.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each bed bug inspection dog team must demonstrate that they - as a team - are capable of detecting only live bed bugs and viable eggs.

</tbody></table> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Much like buying a car, the answer depends on what you get for your money. A recent survey suggests that if you are trying to hire a bed bug exterminator in Toronto you should do your homework. Bed bug extermination costs in Toronto vary according to a number of factors. If you are calling a large company that employs numerous people (secretaries, office staff etc.) you are undoubtedly paying a premium for the extra overhead that they in-turn pass along to you, the consumer.</span> </div></div></div></div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><em>A person dealing with bed bugs in Toronto should understand that the Federal Government of Canada has only approved a very limited number of pesticides that can be used by ANY company for bed bugs. It doesn't matter how large or small the company is - <u>they can only use those limited products</u>! </em></strong></span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, with that in mind - it would makes sense to hire a smaller, less overhead-burdened company to handle your bed bug problem. But, that's not the whole story.</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Larger companies, or companies that '<strong><a href="http://www.royalpest.ca/"><span style="color: #bb232d;">specialize</span></a></strong>' in bed bug removal in Toronto have certain protocols and procedures in place to ensure that a proper bed bug extermination is completed. In addition, these companies usually have 'policy and procedures' that also ensure your safety. In other words, what you can expect get with a larger company or one that specializes in bed bugs is an organized structure that internally governs how they do the job. In other words, they have checks and balances to ensure quality.</span></div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />

<span style="font-size: medium;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong><span style="color: red; font-size: medium;">Specialization</span>:</strong> Find a company that has a <a href="http://www.royalpest.ca/"><span style="color: blue;"><strong><em>prov<span style="color: blue;">en</span></em></strong></span><span style="color: blue;"> <strong><em><span style="background-color: white;">track record</span></em></strong></span></a> of exterminating bed bugs.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">To get rid of bed bugs in Toronto, the pricing structure should be based around what type of home it is. For example, a 5 bedroom house will surely cost more than a bachelor apartment... but how much more?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Bed bug extermination pricing in Toronto, if graphed over the last year, would look like a roller coaster. One year ago the average price for a 4 bedroom home was almost $2000. Today, the average price should be somewhere around $800. Now, as we discussed, not all bed bug treatments are alike!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>Your exterminator should include at least <u>two treatments</u></strong> for whatever price they quote to you. This has to do with 'breaking the life-cycle' of the infestation. It is rare indeed for a bed bug problem to be adequately dealt with in only one service!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Make absolutely sure that the company you go with will never leave you hanging. Meaning, make sure they offer a written service guarantee - no company can guarantee that you're bed bugs will be gone in a certain length of time - no company can do that! Bed bugs are simply too unpredictable an insect for that to be genuine. What you <u>should</u> look for is a company that will guarantee that they will come back if you need them to and utilize different methods of extermination specific to your particular situation. This is referred to as IPM or Integrated Pest Management.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Beware of the guy that tells you that <em>"one treatment should do it"</em> or <em>"...you don't need a written guarantee - I'll come back, trust me..." </em>If you hear comments similar to this - <strong>move on!</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">At the very least, <strong>make sure the company you hire is BBB accredited!</strong> The Better Business Bureau hold companies to the highest ethical and moral business practices standards. The vetting process is intense and regular checks are done by the BBB on their accredited companies to ensure that those standards are constantly being met. <strong>Any bed bug exterminator you hire should be accredited by the BBB!</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Pricing:</span></strong> Our latest research shows a sampling as follows:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong><em>4 Bedroom house, full treatment including steam as necessary</em>:</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Orkin $1,600 <a href="http://www.orkincanada.ca/"><span style="color: #bb232d;">http://www.orkincanada.ca/</span></a> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Toronto Exterminator.ca $799 <a href="http://www.torontoexterminator.ca/"><span style="color: #bb232d;">http://www.torontoexterminator.ca/</span></a> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">To summarize, you should go with a company that specializes in bed bugs extermination. They should be willing to spend some time with you on the phone and in person discussing your bed bug problem when they arrive. They should utilize IPM or Integrated Pest Management (different methods) to solve your bed bug problem. Appropriate pesticide application, steaming, dusting and vacuuming should do the trick.</span><br />

This can happen to anyone - and does, hundreds of times every single day of the week.</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Find a reputable, licensed <a href="http://www.bedbugstoronto.net/"><span style="color: #bb232d;">bed bug exterminator</span></a> (there is a good selection in Toronto) to do the job and follow their advice.

The integrated approach to get rid of bed bugs consists of an initial two treatments that comprise a full crack and crevice treatment in all rooms of the house and treatment of all furniture in those rooms (with the exception of the kitchen - a perimeter is done there) for each treatment when necessary. The two bed bug treatments are spaced 10 to 14 days apart and are designed to 'break the life cycle' of the bed bug infestation.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">In certain circumstances a steam treatment of bedroom furniture may compliment the chemical bed bugs treatment. Steam can be a very effective method of killing bed bug eggs. Royal Forest will not apply pesticides to baby furniture, thence a thorough steaming of those articles is accomplished. Heat, when applied correctly, will kill bed bugs and their eggs and a professional bed bug specific steamer is utilized to do the job.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">In addition to proper and professional bed bug extermination, it is very important to properly process bed bug infested laundry. Part of Royal Forest Pest Control is a laundry division.</div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The bed bug laundry is processed utilizing professional washers and computerized, high efficiency computerized gas dryers. Royal Forest dries the <a href="http://www.bugsrgonelaundry.com/"><span style="color: #bb232d;">bed bug laundry</span></a> at 180 degrees for one full hour - more than enough to do the trick.</div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Finally, a proper preparation of the bed bug infested home is an essential element of getting rid of bed bugs. Decluttering, moving of the furniture away from the walls by about a foot, emptying of dresser drawers and removal of light switch and electrical outlet cover plates and propping up of the mattresses and box springs are necessary to give the bed bug exterminator proper access to areas that must be treated.</div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Some people are unable to properly prepare their home for bed bug extermination or simply do not have the time to do so.</div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />

<em><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><strong><u>Heat may simply be the answer to bed bugs:</u></strong></span></em></h2>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">As the bed bug problem continues to grow in Toronto more and more upstarts are popping up... Now we're seeing companies that have been using electric and other types of heaters to get rid of mould in the past now advertising that they'll come in and kill your bed bugs.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">OK, let's look at this for a moment... ALL of it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is true that raising the temperature of a dwelling to the required temperature (thermal kill range) will kill bed bugs but <u>only</u> if it's done quickly enough to 'catch' them before they're driven deep into the walls. Like anything, if it's done right it may work, if not - you're likely in worse shape than before.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thinking of bed bugs heat treatment in Toronto?</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Some things you should be aware of:</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Don't be fooled by claims of these new Toronto bed bug heat treatment companies that pesticides will somehow harm you! <strong>Pesticides that are approved for use in Canada are completely safe</strong> when applied as per the label and appropriate regulations.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Some heat companies claim to 'guarantee' full elimination with one treatment... this is possible but ONLY if the right equipment is used! <i>Read on...</i></strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you are looking for bed bug heat treatment in Toronto you should know that some of these companies that tout heat as the <u>only</u> answer are simply scaring people into thinking that they are in danger.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Now, there are reputable</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"> <a href="http://www.royalpest.ca/Bed_bug_heat_treatment.html" target="_blank">bed bug heat treatment companies</a> in Toronto that are licensed and also specially trained to apply whole-dwelling heat applications. These bed bug heat treatment companies use protocols that ensure a proper job is done safely and effectively. Look for a company that has an Operator License issued by the Ministry of the Environment of Ontario that is issued to properly governed pest control operators allowing use of pesticides as well. If they don't have one you risk having an uninsured company do work in your home - this could void your home insurance!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The use of heat to kill bed bugs can be a fantastic alternative to using pesticides but one must choose carefully when selecting a bed bug heat treatment company as not all companies are equal!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Although there are a number of different heat systems available to the consumer, only one has been shown consistently to be the safest and most effective - the <a href="http://www.greenbedbugheattreatment.ca/compare-bedbug-treatments.html" target="_blank">'closed loop glycol'</a> heat treatment is by far the best. The other two, electric and propane fueled systems have been shown to be ineffective relative to the aforementioned.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Among some Toronto based bed bug exterminator companies that use the best heat treatment system is <a class="g-profile" href="http://plus.google.com/104447006807160948547" target="_blank"><b>+GreenTech Bed Bug Heat Treatment</b></a> . They have years of experience in bed bug removal using the traditional pest control techniques and conduct their operations using the closed loop glycol heat system for thermal remediation of bed bugs. As we mentioned, this system is by far the best, most efficient, safest and economical of any systems currently in use in Ontario. You can visit GreenTech at <a href="http://www.greenbedbugheattreatment.ca/">www.greenbedbugheattreatment.ca</a> for more information and assistance.</span><br />

<strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Got bed bugs in Toronto?</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's what you need to know:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bed bugs have been with us (humans) for a very long time and they have become a very big problem in the Toronto area in the last few years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you are suffering from bed bugs in Toronto and are looking to exterminate and rid yourself of your bedbug problem consider the following:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1) You need a reputable and professional bed bug pest control </span><a href="http://www.torontoexterminator.ca/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">exterminator</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2) You should treat your laundry or have it treated professionally to eliminate the bed bugs</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your </span><a href="http://www.torontoexterminator.ca/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">bed bug exterminator </span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">should agree to spray twice. The first spray should kill most if not all of the bed bugs that currently live in your home. The second spray should take place 10 to 14 days later to kill the bed bugs that have hatched since the first spray took place but before the those new bed bugs have matured enough to lay more eggs. This is referred to as 'breaking the life-cycle'.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are a number of reputable </span><a href="http://www.bugsrgone.ca/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #000099;">bed bug exterminators</span> </span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">in the Toronto area that will do this properly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your laundry articles that have come into contact with the bed bugs and their eggs should be treated professionally. Often, people will have their bed bug problem exterminated but find later that some bugs/eggs still remained in their clothing, bedding or even drapes and, although their bedbug exterminator did their job correctly, the problem came back (or more accurately, wasn't actually gone) and they found themselves right back to square one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<a href="http://www.bugsrgonelaundry.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #000099;">Bugs'R'Gone Laundry</span> </span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">specializes in treating laundry articles for bed bugs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The timing of your bed bug extermination should be co-ordinated with the laundering of your bed bug infested laundry.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your laundry should be picked up just before your </span><a href="http://www.royalpest.ca/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #000099;">bed bug exterminator</span> </span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">arrives to do his/her job. This serves two functions; Your laundry will be on it's way to being cleansed of the bed bugs and your living space will be de-cluttered thus making it easier for your bed bug exterminator to do their job.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When choosing a </span><a href="http://www.torontoexterminator.ca/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">bed bug exterminator </span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">in Toronto, ensure that they are able to service you quickly. It is not acceptable for you to be told that you must wait a week to receive a service call. Your bed bug exterminator should be able to arrive within 48 hours of your request for bed bug service. Most </span><a href="http://www.royalpest.ca/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #000099;">bed bug exterminators</span> </span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">in Toronto will arrive the next day and schedule your follow-up extermination during the initial call with you.</span></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16191490053097288778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6944428662954486194.post-86560491228084259022009-09-26T20:35:00.000-04:002009-11-20T19:49:08.525-05:00Bed Bug Exterminator Toronto<a href="http://www.royalpest.ca/">http://www.royalpest.ca/</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16191490053097288778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6944428662954486194.post-71200795401773684032009-06-29T00:13:00.000-04:002011-04-29T21:03:19.712-04:00Toronto Bed Bug Exterminator<a href="http://www.bugsrgone.ca/"><strong><span style="color: #000099;">www.BugsRgone.ca</span></strong></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16191490053097288778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6944428662954486194.post-63377917034420730472009-05-12T15:41:00.000-04:002009-11-20T19:49:08.571-05:00Cornell University now recommends 140 degrees in a dryer!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXT1EnT0M4AaXyn8gUH6UeRAjTF-RDzm9Acugw2bQ9mEEYyxlANXIIYm2qn9eerxB5ZS_WYI-18ZmyY5k8QHNSfN_lH4jR9scCcebR4ImHWUL62Yo3m9V0BKvF1_ZEy0vqvuXS_2ZV1VnV/s1600-h/CornellLogo.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335026376013927122" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 370px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 105px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXT1EnT0M4AaXyn8gUH6UeRAjTF-RDzm9Acugw2bQ9mEEYyxlANXIIYm2qn9eerxB5ZS_WYI-18ZmyY5k8QHNSfN_lH4jR9scCcebR4ImHWUL62Yo3m9V0BKvF1_ZEy0vqvuXS_2ZV1VnV/s400/CornellLogo.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDHdncBPuQSxWMk3FLuLd_0emCpJyp2BY-3wep1DNJLRdZFcpaGTccbd0MsPPgrU1Kxqwzn8ILSiAQ-PuxEzO_q_9MpZrX1cXrWuVVvm-wePqENs2IWkaR-lJObgpfPhyLe63wNmo_ym7j/s1600-h/CornellLogo.gif"></a><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Cornell University in New York is recommending that the minimum dryer heat for bed bug elimination be 140 degrees F.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span> </div><div><a href="http://www.nysipm.cornell.edu/publications/bed_bugs/files/bed_bug.pdf"><span style="font-size:85%;">http://www.nysipm.cornell.edu/publications/bed_bugs/files/bed_bug.pdf</span></a></div></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16191490053097288778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6944428662954486194.post-48291118680218253582009-05-02T11:20:00.000-04:002009-11-20T19:49:08.656-05:00Bed bugs can live for 550 days on one meal!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBjq0ut0iezRSunM_pwW4ETTneE_ml8ig279F_vc7Q0nGWYmgDawwnj8r-IS-0UVkidCIaanz_W0KeSRb_ChH1BvsWeId-MEZSP3tYb1eebhwccjJsQRcnZ9NTo44CeqfyPP4Hp7xpzTQJ/s1600-h/600px-University_of_California_Seal_svg.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331249845260601762" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 160px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 160px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBjq0ut0iezRSunM_pwW4ETTneE_ml8ig279F_vc7Q0nGWYmgDawwnj8r-IS-0UVkidCIaanz_W0KeSRb_ChH1BvsWeId-MEZSP3tYb1eebhwccjJsQRcnZ9NTo44CeqfyPP4Hp7xpzTQJ/s200/600px-University_of_California_Seal_svg.png" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>According to the University of California's Agriculture and Natural Resources Department, bed bugs can live for 550 days on just one blood meal!</strong></span><br /><div align="justify"><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">A bed bug can take six times its weight in blood, and feeding can take 3 to 10 minutes. Adults live about 10 months and there can be up to 3 to 4 generations of bed bugs per year.</span></div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><div align="justify"><br /></div><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">Female bed bugs lay from 200 to 500 eggs (in batches of 10 to 50) on rough surfaces such as wood or paper. Eggs are covered with a glue and hatch in about 10 days. After hatching, the egg shells frequently remain on the substrate. There are five progressively larger nymphal stages, each requiring a single blood meal before molting to the next stage. The entire life cycle from egg to adult requires anywhere from 5 weeks to 4 months, depending on temperature. When temperatures are in the range of 70° to 82°F, development occurs most rapidly. Nymphs and adults generally feed at night and hide in crevices during the day. Common hiding places include seams in mattresses and box springs, cracks in bed frames, under loose wallpaper, behind picture frames, and inside furniture and upholstery.</span></p><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Click the title to learn more!</span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16191490053097288778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6944428662954486194.post-17717252170985976592009-05-01T17:13:00.000-04:002009-11-20T19:49:08.664-05:00Toronto Bed Bug Project<strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Follow this link to the Toronto Bed Bug Project.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></strong><br /><a href="http://www.toronto.ca/health/bedbugs/torontobedbugproject.htm"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">http://www.toronto.ca/health/bedbugs/torontobedbugproject.htm</span></strong></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16191490053097288778noreply@blogger.com0
