When you’re dealing with bed bugs in Gresham, the biggest decision is the treatment method. The two proven options are heat treatment and conventional (chemical) treatment — and the right call depends on your infestation, your home, and your budget.
How heat treatment works
Heat treatment raises your rooms to a lethal 120–135°F and forces that heat into wall voids, furniture, and mattress cores. It kills bed bugs and their eggs at every life stage, usually in a single visit, with little or no chemical in the home.
How conventional treatment works
Conventional treatment uses EPA-registered residual insecticides and targeted dusts in cracks and voids. Because it keeps killing for weeks, it’s done over two or more visits so freshly hatched nymphs walk into treated surfaces. It’s typically the most budget-friendly route.
How to choose
- Want it done in one visit: choose heat treatment.
- Working within a tighter budget: choose conventional treatment.
- Heavy or multi-room infestation: a combined plan is often best.
