Have you noticed holes in your clothes or woke up itching and biting in the morning? Then you may have a pest problem in your home.
Daniel Neves of Inoculand Pest Control Services in London assures homeowners not to worry and below explains how heat treatment can solve your pest problem and keep you safe.
Q: Why use heat treatment to get rid of your pest infestation?
A: It removes up to 95-100 percent of infestation almost instantly and is the only method that can kill moths and bedbugs at any stage of development, from eggs to larvae to adults.
You can use it to treat your mattress, clothes, furniture, and items. The heat treatment penetrates deep into your carpet, under the floorboards, and hard-to-reach areas of your home to ensure that any pest is removed.
It’s also convenient and inexpensive. Heat treatment can prevent you from having to dry-clean all of your clothing, spend money on costly repairs, and make sure your family’s life gets back to normal as soon as possible.
Q: how does it work?
A: We use propane heaters to raise the temperature of your home above 60 degrees. The dry heat penetrates your fabrics, bedding, and furniture to kill the pests. We’ll put the heaters in your hallway or guest room to blow heat into any infected areas of the house.
We bring all the relevant equipment with us, and assembly is quick and easy. To ensure that your clothes are treated properly, we also bring our own clothes horse to hang up. This allows us to handle large amounts of clothing and verify that it is at the optimal temperature to kill moths and bedbugs.
Q: Can the heat treatment be used anywhere in the house?
A good night’s sleep is critical to good mental and physical wellbeing – heat treatment services can keep your bed clean and free of pests to disturb your rest.

A: It can treat most areas of the home except your kitchen or bathroom, as it could damage your appliances and ceramics. Instead, we use steam or chemical treatments in this part of your home.
We can use an insulating partition or tent to protect your open kitchen, and in homes where the presence of an open flame is an issue, we use GreenTech’s electrical heat treatment option to keep your home and belongings safe .
Heat treatment is also the only method that can be used to treat unused properties such as warehouses, vacant apartments or storage rooms. We can also use it in offices, large commercial spaces and business premises.
Q: I have young children and pets. Is the heat treatment safe around you?
A: Absolutely. It is pesticide free, organic and environmentally friendly. I recommend heat treatment if you have young infants, pets, and elderly relatives who live at home, are allergic to chemical allergies, or if you are pregnant.
Q: How long does the treatment take?
Heat treatment is the recommended pest control method against bed bugs and moths.

A: Treatment takes less than a day, which means minimal disruption to you and your family. You can stay in untreated rooms of the house during the treatment, but must remain outside the treated rooms for up to four hours after the treatment is complete.
Q: How can you make sure that all pests are removed?
A: We visit you home two weeks after our first visit to make sure the infestation does not return, and we use the Cimex Eraser steamer, which can reach temperatures up to 180 degrees and can be used on all surfaces and fabrics ensure no pests remain.
Q: How much does the heat treatment cost?
