Industry data, scientific research, entomologists and pest control experts have confirmed that the use of chemicals and insecticides for bed bug eradication is becoming less and less effective. Chemical treatments require 2.6 visits to eradicate a bed bug infestation. Using heat-based treatment for bed bud eradication is effective most of the time in one visit, with a median of 1.3 visits across the industry.
