The Science Behind How Bed Bug Heat Treatment Milwaukee Works
Our heat treatment method is a highly efficient science. It relies on raising ambient temperatures to specific thermal death points that bed bugs cannot survive.
- Lethal Temperatures: We consistently heat the entire space to between 118°F (48°C) and 122°F (50°C).
- All Life Stages: At this temperature, adult bed bugs perish within 90 minutes, while their more resilient eggs are eliminated after approximately 45 minutes of sustained heat. [Source: Virginia Tech Department of Entomology].
Effective treatment requires uniform heat distribution. Our powerful equipment ensures these lethal temperatures penetrate every potential hiding spot, including mattress seams, furniture crevices, and behind wall outlets, for a complete bed bug eradication.
Key Factors for an Effective Bed Bug Heat Treatment in Milwaukee
The success of a heat treatment depends on several interacting elements that our trained technicians manage precisely:
- Advanced Heating Systems: We use professional-grade equipment designed to produce and distribute heat uniformly, unlike systems that only heat the air and create cool spots where bugs can survive.
- Structure Size and Layout: Larger or poorly insulated structures require more extensive heat coverage and longer exposure times. We customize the setup to guarantee lethal temperatures are reached everywhere.
- Treatment Duration: Insufficient heating periods allow bed bugs to survive. We ensure the entire area is held at the target temperature long enough to kill both adults and eggs, preventing the infestation from persisting.
- Experienced Technicians: The most critical factor is the technician’s expertise. With our 50+ years of experience, our team expertly locates infested areas, establishes correct heating protocols, and monitors the entire process to ensure a successful outcome.
Common Misconceptions About Bed Bug Heat Treatment
Myth: Heat treatment is an instant, one-visit fix.
Fact: While highly effective, success often depends on multiple factors, including preparation and the severity of the infestation. The process requires extensive time and effort to execute correctly.
Myth: The heating process only takes a few minutes.
Fact: The time needed depends on the space size, clutter, and infestation level. A thorough treatment, including setup and monitoring, is a multi-hour process designed to ensure complete heat penetration. Rushing allows bugs to survive.

What Our Customers Say
Elizabeth Singleton2024-10-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. UPDATE - OVER 30 DAYS AND NO BED BUGS SURVIVED! I discovered bed bugs in my home. Instead of a general exterminator, I thought a company named Affordable Bed Bug Exterminator must specialize in the problem. I was right. From my first telephone call answered by Doug through the exterminating process, where the gentleman was kind enough to turn out all the lights when he left, I am 💯 % pleased. Discovering a colony at 430 am freaked me out and despite knowing better, I still felt like I was at fault. Growing up there was a stigma in having bed bugs. I started researching what to do and quickly decided I needed a professional. Doug answered the phone. He reassured me and made me feel less disgusted with myself. He answered all my questions from how could this happen to me to details on each chemical being used. He advised they have done over 5000 homes, that long-term experienced people make a difference in getting rid of bed bugs, that legally I didn't have to tell neighbors but to check my HOA rules, and that he could have someone exterminate my place the next day. The only prep work I had to do was stripping my beds and packing up those linens to take somewhere with a dryer. Based on my description, my infestation was moderate. The cost of $600 was less than I expected. Their success rate averages 95% as some bugs have developed resistance to some chemicals. Following the 30 days, if I saw them still active, I could get a 2nd treatment with a 4th kind of chemical for $150, which then was 99% effective. I made an appointment. The gentleman showed up on time. His vehicle did not advertise the company, preventing any embarrassment. He examined my home, listened to my history, explained the process, advised he has 15 years of experience with hed bugs, and explained not to breathe the stuff for 2 hours and then stay out 5 hours to give time for the chemicals to dry, I can sweep but no washing the floors or objects/areas treated so as not to remove the chemicals which continue to work up to 30 days. The process kills the bed bugs in all stages, destroys the eggs, is tracked back to nests, and creates a barrier so they don't visit my neighbors. Furniture would be moved away from walls and chairs, and mattresses, and couches upended. Baseboards, closets, drapes, and outlets were all treated. When I came home, all the above was true. Took me a half hour to put things back in place and restore cushions, couch, chairs, and beds. I have not seen any bed bugs since the treatment yesterday, but he had explained we might see some in the next 10 days but they would be lethargically headed back to their nests (we want them to do so.). Info for everyone. My grandchild had bites a couple of months ago. I slept in her bed and no bites. We thought she just had a stronger reaction to mosquitos. We didn't realize it was bed bugs until my partner was bitten and we saw a few bugs and the signs listed on the Internet. HALF THE POPULATION DOES NOT HAVE A REACTION TO BED BUG BITES. They were still biting me. I just didn't know it. In 30 days I hope to update this with complete success. I know it's a long review but I am sure many have never been faced with this experience and probably have the same initial shock wondering what to do. michelle jaskulski2024-07-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went above and beyond to help us out with last minute service when Batzner left us in a pinch. Customer service and technician were both professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Will be using them going forward! Brittany Sutton2024-02-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank goodness I was not infested with bedbugs. But we did find some. When they said we will get them I was a Little skeptical. But my goodness not seeing anything. Nobody has been bitten and it’s been almost 30 days. Still about 2 weeks left of the 30 days. But yet again I was not infested that bad. Every case is different. But I think for my case case closed. They guaranteed their work and they lived by it gave me a lot of knowledge too, on what to look for. Thank you so much because I have a special needs son. I can’t be having pest running my house. God bless your company. Zakarie Lenski2024-02-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience with Doug and James after bringing extra bed bug friends home after traveling for work. They answered all our questions and understood our slight panic. Doug texted us a video so we could get our place ready for them to come in. Super helpful! Didn’t break the bank and haven’t worried since they left. Thanks guys! mmack20012023-08-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Promptly took care of our problem, James did a great job for me and my downstairs neighbors!
