Steam can be used by itself, or in conjunction with other methods. |
Sudden exposure to high heat can kill bed bugs. Bed bugs which get the full force of directed steam over 130 degrees will die instantly. Bed bugs which are deep inside cracks and crevices or who can manage to move away from steam or directed heat will do so. Bed bugs can move fairly fast when motivated. Bed bugs will move away from heat that comes at them from one direction. Directed heat can force bed bugs from one area of a home to another or from one apartment or treated room in a large building to previously non infested areas. Steam can kill pockets of bed bugs. Steam treating mattresses prior to encasing them makes good sense. Steam treating a bed room to kill as many bed bugs as possible prior to treating with a pesticide makes sense as well. A good use of steam is using it sterilize or clean baby toys, bed frames and other temperature resistant materials. Coupled with the use of Climb-ups and other bed bug monitors, it can provide the basis of non-chemical control options. However, bed bugs can live for months without feeding. Just one female bed bug, in one over looked, untreated, crack or crevice, means that you will continue to live with bed bugs |
