Heat kills bed bugs and other insects. It’s been proven in university studies since the late 1980s. We prove it every day in the field, treating homes and business of good folks like you. I want to take a moment and describe the cleansing and disinfecting power of heat, and the benefits heat provides to you and your family, your business, your friends and customers.
These additional benefits are included for free every time we do a bed bug heat treatment.
Let’s step away from the straight-forward world of using heat to achieve a 100% kill with bed bugs and consider the complexities of rodents.
Just about everyone knows mice and rats carry disease. Rodents are vectors for serious diseases like rat bite fever, salmonellosis, and leptospirosis. Many people believe rodent-borne diseases most commonly spread through bites from infected rodents. While this is can be a problem, the unseen danger is via contact with contaminated urine or feces. Hantavirus spreads this way.
Once the rodents you can see are gone, the health dangers remain. Rats, mice, and other rodents will scurry and climb throughout your home or business as they look for food and chew on electrical wires... urinating and defecating— and potentially spreading disease— everywhere they go. Most people I know wouldn’t want to continue exposing their friends, family, and customers to dangerous pathogens. A whole-house treatment is the best solution and most thorough solution to making your home or business safe and healthy again.
All organisms have a specific thermal death point, and many of those inhabiting our structures fall within the efficacy range of our heat process. This application of heat to a structure can eradicate or reduce targeted organisms to acceptable levels without damaging the structure and its contents in the treatment. Unlike treatment with fumigation or some chemicals, the structure is available for immediate occupation by people and pets.
Our heat treatments is more than just hot air. It is “active” heating. We employ convective heating that results in decreased odors and the reduction and/or elimination of many biological concerns such as:

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.
