You found a bug! Don’t worry if you don’t know what it is!

Richard Attenborough once said insects far outnumber all other multicellular animals on earth. There is a good chance of you coming across one in a place you don’t want to find it… like inside your home.

I can show you some pictures of insects… and just about everyone will tell me “they’re all bugs!” immediately followed by “please get rid of them!”

A solid identification is important when an exterminator works with traditional pesticides. Various insect species creep around in different ways— some scamper about, others build webs, most climb walls, some live in carpeting and other fibrous locations, and we all know about those that fly!— and some species are more resistant to certain chemicals and application methods. A pesticidal treatment can have limited success if the proper chemicals are not applied to the correct places. For example, a flea bomb will have very limited success on bed bugs, won’t penetrate to where cockroaches live, and probably won’t even bother most spiders.

The benefit of a bed bug heat treatment

A solid identification is less critical when Armor & Shield does a heat treatment. Heat treatments have a number of wide-ranging advantages over pesticides and chemicals.

Most importantly, all organisms have a thermal death point. We heat your home, business, or hotel to the lethal temperature and maintain that temperature for the required time, and presto!, all the insects within the insecticidal heat treatment zone are dead. Our treatment temperatures are safe for most items you have in your space, yet lethal to most insects, dust mites, bacteria, and many viruses commonly found around us.

Heat penetrates all the contents of your home, business, medical facility, or hotel. Heat gets all around furniture and penetrates rugs and carpeting. We achieve lethal temperatures behind, under, and inside of furniture, walls, and fixtures. Wherever bed bugs or other insects might hide, heat gets there and kills them. When Armor & Shield does a whole-structure heat treatment, you can rest assured all insect pests and bacteria within your structure will be dead… no matter where they may be hiding.

We have the best bed bug heat equipment and training

Armor & Shield has invested in specialized equipment and training to provide you with the best and most comprehensive pest services. A bed bug heat treatment by Armor & Shield will kill virtually all the insects that pester you. About the only ones that defy a heat treatment are ants, subterranean termites, and infestations recurrently brought in from outside of the structure.

The best thing about a bed bug heat treatment: you get all these additional benefits when we are just doing our job. Armor & Shield stands behind every bed bug heat treatment we do in the entire Oklahoma City Metro Area including the communities of Bethany, Bristow, Broken Arrow, Chandler, Edmond, Guthrie, McLoud, Norman, Oklahoma City, Shawnee, Tulsa, and Midwest City.
