The #1 Myth about Bed Bugs
If you’ve ever had the misfortune of seeking bed bug treatment, you may have gotten a small taste of one of the most misleading and corrupt service industries in America.
The pest control industry preys on folks who are scared and hopeless - that is, too confused to make an informed choice. Bed bugs in particular make for an easy sale. As they would have you believe it, those nasty critters are impossible to get rid of, requiring a professional at the helm to save the day (for big bucks, mind you…).
Nothing could not be further from the truth. Bed bugs are not a virus nor a disease. Modern technology has gifted us tools to completely kill bed bugs for good with no professional aid necessary.
In contrast to bacteria and other lifeforms, bed bugs have never evolved to withstand high temperatures. Blast them with 115 degree heat and they will die for good, just has they have been for hundreds of years.
Now, how hard is it to turn up the heat? As simple as turning on a space heater. Why would you need to pay a professional thousands of dollars for that?!
We need to do some more research to understand where this trope of the invincible bed bug came to be, but we wouldn’t be surprised if a pest control company was behind it. Can you imagine a better marketing technique?!
What if landscapers could convince you lawns were impossible to mow…think about how much they’d get away with charging!
