Non-Toxic Pest Control - using controlled heat.

Thermal Remediation - Heat Treatments eradicate Bed Bugs and Parasitic Pests.

Hoteliers, moteliers and private households searching for an effective eco-friendly solution to eradicate bed bugs are turning to heat treatment!

Within the past decade, bedbugs were considered non-existent in New Zealand. But now they are here and a problem to be reckoned with. Re-introduction and spread of bed bugs is blamed by exterminators on increased global travel activity and a reluctance by hospitality (and society) to the use of pesticides and insecticides due to toxicity and downtime in room occupation. Once you have the little parasites in your house, or hospitality accommodations - getting rid of them has always been a big problem - until now. The solution is heat! ...

HEATME™ Purpose Designed Heat Treatment Equipment is a revolutionary pest control technique, extremely effective in the fight against bedbugs. It has been proven that small living creatures will die within a short period of time, if unprotected in temperatures above 45°C. Therefore, if you heat up the environment to 45-55°C for a minimum of one hour, any targeted bed bugs will not be able to survive. This also includes their eggs, meaning the problem is comprehensively ended. Call us for advice*.

About Bedbugs

The Bedbug lat: Cimex lectularius This bloodsucking ectoparasite attacks mammals, birds, and humans. Fully grown bedbugs have a length of 4-7mm and a yellow to reddish-brown appearance. When gorged, they reach 9mm in length; in such cases the abdomen becomes increasingly black. While the bedbug hides during the day, at night it goes out in search of a host to find nourishment. At 18-22°C room temperature, the fully grown animal sucks every 3-7 days for 3 to 20 minutes each time. At ideal temperatures and with sufficient nourishment, a bedbug has a lifespan of up to 18 months. A female lays up to 300 eggs at an average rate of 3 per day. The sure signs of a bedbug infestation are: An unbearable itching, generally several bites in a row (the 'bedbug street'), small spots of blood on the sheets, and sometimes a subtle sweet smell in the room.
