Why heat kills bed bugs when sprays don't

UK bed bugs are increasingly resistant to residual insecticides. Heat is a physical kill — one cycle, every life stage.

UK bed bug strains have developed measurable resistance to the pyrethroid insecticides that dominate the over-the-counter and trade markets. That's why so many properties get sprayed two or three times and the problem keeps coming back.

Heat is a physical kill, not a chemical one. Adults, nymphs and eggs all denature at 60.5–65°C core temperature, and there's nothing for them to build resistance to.

Our process is engineered to hit that core temperature in every void, seam and cavity in one visit.
