Bed Bug Extermination
Killing bed bugs completely can be quite a
headache for businesses. With Elders, our world-class
quality system, chemical-free or low toxicity bed bug
extermination methods, commercial guarantee and nation-wide
servicing makes it easy for businesses to become, and
remain, bed bug-free.
Our Bed Bug Extermination System
Bed Bug extermination can be achieved in a number
of different ways. Pesticides can be used in most situations
are chemicals these days are quite low in toxicity and
usually only affect cold blooded organisms. However,
due to their low toxicity they usually have a short
life span and therefore longterm bed bug extermination
prevention can be difficult to achieve.
Heat is also an option. Super heating a room to 45°C
for approximately 2 hours can exterminate bed
bugs and achieve a good bed bug extermination
result. Bed
Bugs cannot withstand long periods of time exposed
to extreme temperatures. Tests have shown that the thermal
death point to kill bedbugs is approximately 45°C
and all stages of the bed bug lifecycle are killed by
just 7 minutes of exposure to 46°C.
Similarly to extreme heat, extreme cold temperatures
can also achieve the a good result. Bed
Bugs can survive for at least 5 days at -10°C
but will be killed after just 15 minutes of exposure
of -32°C. Whilst it is difficult to super cool a
room for a period long enough to achieve a good bed
bug kill, handheld machines are available but required
patience in the application and attention to detail.
Whilst not a form of bed bug elimination, mattress protectors
prevent bedbugs
from infesting the crevices of a mattress making bed
bug elimination far easier. The use of mattress
protectors are a positive, pro-active approach to bed
bug prevention.
Likewise, other proactive measures can include monitoring
traps for bed bugs. These traps are usually a glueboard
and sometimes can include a heat pad designed to attract
the bed bugs to the glueboard. Regular monitoring of
the glueboards by our bed
bug exterminators can determine if the is bed bug
activity within the environment.

It is not permanent: Bed bugs are usually transported
with people's luggage. If you have people constantly
