Why Choose Combination Treatment

Some infestations require more than one method to ensure total elimination. Bed bugs hide in tiny cracks, reproduce quickly, and resist many common treatments. A combination approach addresses every stage of their lifecycle — instantly destroying live bed bugs through heat while leaving a chemical barrier that continues killing any that emerge later.

• Dual-action solution: Immediate elimination plus extended protection.
• Ideal for complex infestations: Works well for multi-room or multi-unit properties.
• Highly effective: Targets eggs, nymphs, and adults across all hiding areas.
• Safe and discreet: Uses controlled temperatures and EPA-approved products.

This hybrid approach provides the most thorough coverage available, reducing the likelihood of re-infestation when properly prepared and executed.

How the Combination Method Works

The process begins with a controlled heat treatment to raise room temperatures to levels lethal for bed bugs and their eggs. Once the environment cools, our technicians apply targeted chemical applications to cracks, seams, and high-risk areas to create a long-lasting barrier.

1. Initial heat phase: Heats infested areas to 120–135°F to eliminate live bed bugs and eggs.
2. Cooling and evaluation: Technicians inspect all areas once safe temperatures are restored.
3. Residual application: EPA-approved products are applied to key harborages for continued protection.
4. Post-treatment assessment: Final check ensures all affected zones are covered.

The combination of heat and chemical barriers delivers both immediate and sustained control — making it one of the most reliable professional options available.

Benefits of Combination Treatment

• Complete elimination: Kills bed bugs in all life stages, including eggs hidden deep inside furniture.
• Fast results: Most infestations are significantly reduced within a single visit.
• Residual protection: Chemical applications continue to work long after treatment.
• Suitable for all property types: Works in homes, apartments, hotels, and commercial facilities.
• Discreet and safe: Performed with minimal disruption and odor.

This approach ensures both speed and sustainability — two factors critical in controlling large or long-term infestations effectively.

When Combination Treatment Is Recommended

Combination treatment is best suited for properties or situations where a single method may not be sufficient:

• Severe or long-term infestations involving multiple rooms.
• Multi-unit housing, hotels, and dormitories with shared walls or furniture.
• Recurring infestations where previous DIY or single-method attempts failed.
• Environments requiring both immediate relief and lasting protection.

For mild or localized activity, a stand-alone chemical or heat treatment may be appropriate instead.

Our Step-by-Step Process

1. Consultation: A short phone consultation determines if your property qualifies for combination treatment.
2. Preparation: Clients follow the bed bug preparation checklist to ready the space for heat and chemical phases.
3. Heat treatment: Rooms are heated uniformly to destroy all life stages of bed bugs.
4. Chemical application: Once cooled, residual products are applied to furniture, cracks, and walls.
5. Review: Technicians inspect coverage and provide prevention advice.

This integrated approach provides deep, layered protection and is tailored to your property’s unique needs.

Comparison with Heat and Chemical Treatments

Here’s how combination treatment differs from single-method approaches:

Preparation Before Treatment

Proper preparation helps maximize success. Before your appointment:

• Follow the preparation checklist provided by our team.
• Remove heat-sensitive items like electronics, candles, and plastics.
• Launder bedding and clothing on high heat.
• Vacuum carpets, baseboards, and furniture thoroughly.
• Ensure rooms are decluttered and accessible for technicians.

Aftercare and Prevention

Once treatment is complete, these steps help maintain a bed bug-free environment:

• Vacuum again after cooling to remove any remaining debris.
• Use bed bug encasements on mattresses and box springs.
• Inspect travel bags or used furniture before bringing them indoors.
• Continue light monitoring for early detection of new introductions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is combination treatment safe for children and pets?

Yes. The process uses controlled heat and EPA-approved products applied by licensed professionals. Rooms are safe to re-enter once temperatures normalize and treated areas dry completely.

How long does the treatment take?

Most combination treatments are completed in one day. The exact duration depends on property size and infestation level.

Will I need to leave my home?

Yes. Residents must vacate during heat application and remain away until temperatures return to normal and chemical treatments have dried.

Does combination treatment prevent future infestations?

While no method permanently prevents new introductions, the chemical barrier provides lasting protection against bed bugs that may enter after the service.

When is combination treatment necessary?

It’s recommended for properties with heavy infestations, multi-unit housing, or situations where prior single-method treatments were not effective.
