Heat is not just for bed bugs! Every living organism has a thermal death point, not only insects but bacteria and allergens as well. Keep your family safe and your environment fresh with Total Shield Bed Bug Treatments heat. Take a look at these five benefits of heat treating your home.
Heat can freshen the air in your home by denaturing many allergens and destroying the chemical basis of many odors. In 1999, GreenTech Heat treated a condo where a dead body had sat for 25 days. The offensive odor of the decaying body was overwhelming. The heat treatment killed 98.4% of existing bacteria in the condo and eliminated the odor. Read more here.
The most common source of indoor allergens is the dust mite. Feeding off household dust and moisture, they can exacerbate allergic rhinitis, asthma, and eczema. Dust mites are killed after 60 minutes at 140°F (House Dust Mites, University of Nebraska, Bug Facts 013-97).
House floods can devastate a structure with water permeating structural beams leading to dangerous mold and destructive wood rot. Regardless of a flood source— anything from an overflowing toilet to an overflowing river or storm surge— heat treating after a flood can help dry the structure and kill accompanying microbes.
Rodents have a way of sneaking into your home. Although your pest control company can kill, trap, and seal in order to get rid of your invaders, they often fall short in eliminating the dangerous diseases these pests leave behind. The thermal process can eradicate hantavirus and other health hazards in less than a few hours.
When applied correctly, a heat treatment eliminates bed bugs, but also other common household pests like cockroaches, termites, and fleas. You don’t have to rely on toxic chemicals and pesticides to create a bug-free home!
Heat technology is effective against all forms of insect pests, but we have found it to be equally effective against problem-causing allergens and bacteria as well. Give Total Shield Bed Bug Treatments a call at 717-478-HEAT. We are ready to help or consult with any unique applications!
Bill is very knowledgeable of his work and has been equally informative to me and my family during our problems with bed bugs. We had a real mess moving into an apartment complex with a large bed bug infestation. The complex managers didn’t want to treat the problem appropriately and we ended up abandoning the majority of our belongings. We moved into a duplex and found ourselves comfortable for many years before noticing bites on our daughters. Being already familiar with the bed bug situation I knew where to check and sure enough we had them a second time. I was already familiar with the heat treatment process and knew it was a solid treatment plan. We contacted Bill and took care of the issue immediately. Bill was direct, quick to contact, and informative on the heat treatment process and the steps to take prior to, during, and after treatment. Saturday we found the bug problem and by Tuesday morning we had no bug problem.

The past year needs no introduction: 2020 was the year the world stood still. We all stopped traveling, eating out, going to the office, attending church, and going to movie theaters. And it finally looks like we will start our long-anticipated return to “normal”... and, like it or not, we will be taking bed bugs with us! Read more
Every year, a major pest control company publishes a list of the top US cities for bed bugs. Many sources across the internet will inform you (and those of us at Total Shield Bed Bug Treatments know first-hand!) that treating for bed bugs can be expensive and traditional chemical treatments can require several weeks or more to knock out an active infestation. Now that the economy is open again, you don’t need to live in one of these cities to have a potential bed bug problem... the person next to you could have traveled through one and brought them to visit you!

Camps across the country have been closed during the pandemic... and people can’t wait to return! Don’t assume that any bed bugs that survived your last treatment starved this past year— adult bed bugs have survived in laboratories without food for as long as 550 days and they will be hungry! As far as bed bugs are concerned, as we continue to return to business as usual— whatever that ends up looking like, you will be hosting a camp grand-re opening special for them: a potentially unlimited buffet of guests that will become their next meals.
