My basement apartment tenants called me in a panic, they had bed bugs. They had found a crawling insect and identified it on the Internet as a bed bug.
I assured them I would call an exterminator the following morning and have the apartment sprayed. No you can’t was the tenants adement response. It turned out they were afraid of poisonous chemical exposure and wanted heat instead.
I didn’t know bedbugs could be killed with heat so I had some research to do. There are a few exterminators in the Hamilton area that heat heat up your whole house using propane heaters but It is very expensive, yikes.
Later in the evening I happend upon an ad on Kijiji for “Bed Bugs Dead Bugs” who rent and set up bed bug eradication equipment. Heat treatment at a reasonable price. I hired them on the spot directly from their website.
Adrienne, a chatty bubbly lady called the next morning and we set up a time to meet at the basement apartment. She arrived in an unmarked van and quickly unloaded the specialized heaters, fans and cords that are designed to run from a stove or dryer electrical outlet.
The setup was fast and we were able to monitor the rising bedroom temperature from the kitchen. Adrienne said when the heat gets to the kill temperature in about 1 hour, let the heaters run for 4 more hours and this room is done. Off she went saying she’ll be back tomorrow to pick up the equipment.
We finished the bedroom and moved the bedbug heaters and fans all to the next bedroom.
Adrienne arrived as promised the next day and we inspected the rooms. Numerous dead carcasses were found but not a live one anywhere. I was surprised when bed bugs fell out of the curtains.
It’s been 5 months since Bed Bugs Dead Bugs did the apartment in Hamilton, the tenant say it’s still all clear and are very happy. Thanks Bed Bugs Dead Bugs! Thanks Adrienne!
To say Adrienne and her company are a godsend would be a massive understatement. My parents, much to their chagrin, had bed bugs and the first thing I did was Google a fix and within minutes I found Bed Bugs Dead Bugs. I immediately emailed and texted Adrienne and she got back to me in mere minutes and arranged to see me within the next business day! She took time out of her late night at a concert to get back to me, answer my ignorant questions and calm my anxiety (via several incessant texts on my end). Bed bugs are a serious issue and are running rampant in our growing urban climate and it is so comforting to know that companies like Adrienne’s are out there. They spent so much time setting up, ensuring our machines were cooperating and our power sources were adequate. My father and I were so grateful for this service and I cannot give Adrienne enough praise, gratitude and recommendation! The bed bugs were ding dong dead by the end of our heat treatment and swept up and all with no fumes, chemicals or bad side effects, just a heck of a lot of heat! Thank you, Adrienne; keep up the great work!
Bed Bugs Dead Bugs is the place to contact when you’ve discovered those little darn things in your home. We tried four different pest control treatments prior to finding this company, but we wish we had discovered them first. Adrienne was absolutely incredible. She was there with us every step of the way when we required assistance. The tools were very easy to use with the help of Adrienne and the instruction booklet. Thank you so much!
Please try this solution. Way more effective than spraying and you deserve immediate relief. Thanks Adrienne for the help.
