Why bed bugs are so hard to get rid of
Bed bugs hide in mattress seams, box springs, bed frames, couches, baseboards, outlets and even picture frames. Their eggs are glued into cracks where sprays rarely reach, and many populations in Ontario have become resistant to common products.
That is why so many people treat, see results for a few weeks, and then the bites come back. The survivors and the eggs were never reached.
Heat solves that. We bring the treated rooms up to a temperature bed bugs and eggs cannot survive and hold it long enough for the heat to soak into furniture, mattresses, walls and clutter. No hiding spot stays cool.
What makes heat different

A typical home or apartment takes one day, depending on size and clutter.
Inspection
We confirm bed bugs, map every room that is affected and check neighbouring areas.
Simple prep

Heat the space
Professional heaters and fans raise the rooms to lethal temperature. We monitor it with sensors throughout.

Why more people are choosing heat
Both methods have their place. Here is how they compare for most homes and apartments.
| Heat treatment | Chemical-only treatment | |
|---|---|---|
| Kills eggs | Yes, all life stages | Often not, follow-up visits needed |
| Typical visits | Usually one | Usually two to three, weeks apart |
| Pesticide residue | None with heat-only | Residual products are used |
| Resistance | Bed bugs cannot become resistant to heat | Resistance to common products is widespread |
| Back in your home | Same evening | After products dry, per label |
| Prep work | Light, most items stay in place | Heavier, bagging and laundering more items |
For large or severe infestations, we may recommend heat combined with a targeted follow-up treatment. We will always explain why before we start.
Heat treatment for rentals and multi-unit buildings
Bed bugs travel between units through walls, outlets and hallways. One untreated unit can reinfest a whole floor. We treat the affected unit and inspect the neighbouring units, and we give your tenants a clear prep sheet so the job is done right the first time.
- Unit and adjoining-unit inspections
- Tenant prep sheets and notices
- Turnover and pre-move-in treatments
- Discreet service for hotels and short-term rentals
- Written service reports for your records
Signs you need bed bug treatment
- Itchy bites in lines or clusters, often on arms, neck and legs
- Small rust or dark spots on sheets and mattress seams
- Tiny pale eggs or shed skins in seams and furniture joints
- Live bugs, flat and apple-seed sized, in the bed frame or headboard
- A musty, sweet smell in heavy infestations
Heat treatment questions
How hot does the room get?
We bring the treated space to temperatures above 50°C (122°F), the point at which bed bugs and their eggs die, and hold it there with sensors and fans so heat reaches every hiding spot.
How long does it take?
Most homes and apartments are treated in a single day, typically six to eight hours depending on size, layout and how much furniture and clutter there is.
Is heat treatment safe for my home and belongings?
Yes for nearly everything in a normal home. A few items should be removed, such as aerosols, candles, medications, vinyl records and certain electronics. We send you a full checklist before the appointment.
Do I have to throw out my mattress or furniture?
In most cases, no. Heat treats mattresses, couches and furniture in place, which is one of the main reasons people choose it.
Will one treatment be enough?
Heat kills all life stages in the areas treated, so most homes need one visit. We do a follow-up check, and if bed bugs were brought back in or were hiding outside the treated area, we will tell you exactly what we recommend.
Can you treat a condo or apartment?
Yes. We treat condos, apartments and rental units across Toronto and the GTA. For buildings, we also recommend inspecting the units beside, above and below.
Do you treat cars, furniture or items outside the home?
Contact us. We can advise on individual items and moving situations so you do not bring bed bugs with you.
How much does bed bug heat treatment cost?
Pricing depends on the size of the space and the number of rooms affected. We give you a clear written quote after a quick conversation or inspection.
