Bed bugs are one of the most unpleasant pest infestations, and it may be difficult to decide which bed bug treatment you should use to eradicate them. To give you an idea, expert exterminators at Surefire Pest Control, in Las Vegas, NV, explain exactly how each of the three major bed bug treatments works.

Top 3 Bed Bug Treatments

Heat

Thought to be the most effective form of bed bug treatment, since it kills not only the bugs themselves but also their eggs and larva, this treatment tends to be the most time-consuming. It involves hiring pest professionals, who use specially-designed equipment to heat your home to a very high temperature. The benefit to this bed bug treatment is that you don’t need to know where the bed bugs are hiding — the heat will find them.

Bombs

Aerosol bug bombs or fumigators are a popular DIY option because you can purchase the cans in most department stores or online. Although fumigators can stunt the nymphs from growing into full-sized bed bugs, the treatment is considered to be less effective, since it requires direct contact with bed bugs to work; often when the bomb is released, many bugs that are in hiding in cracks or crevasses will not be affected by the chemical.

Spray

Bed bug sprays can also be purchased over-the-counter, but it's important to ensure that the brand you buy will target not only the bugs but their larvae as well, to ensure the infestation doesn't return. Once you’ve vacuumed thoroughly, spray the solution directly on all surfaces. Scrub everything — hardwood floors and carpets, too — with an abrasive brush. Although this seems like a simpler treatment, it requires a lot of individual work and may need to be repeated — perhaps more than once —  to be effective.
