  2. ABOUT BED BUG HOUSTON HEATER RENTALS: A COMMON CHALLENGE Unexpectedly, you find yourself in a predicament much like ours—a tale that is all too familiar. We are members of an unwelcome club, united by a shared nuisance, that is bed bugs. It is a phrase we once dismissed as part of a children's rhyme, but the reality is far from child's play. It is a pervasive problem across the nation, and Texas is no exception—it demands our immediate and decisive action. Our journey with bed bugs began at a beloved rental home in Houston, TX. For years, we managed the property seamlessly, until one day, we were blindsided by a report of "tiny bugs" lurking within. A reputable pest control service inspected the property and delivered the unsettling news: we were dealing with bed bugs.

For treatments targeting a single room, block the gap under the door to prevent heat from escaping. • Avoid using pesticides such as foggers, bombs, sprays, or dusts prior to your heat treatment. The treatment’s high temperatures will negate the effectiveness of these chemicals, requiring their reapplication. • Organize and declutter to promote optimal air circulation, ensuring heat reaches all potential bed bug hideouts.

Make sure closets and drawers are not overstuffed and that all items are accessible. • Unplug all electronic devices except for refrigerators and freezers, and keep them within the treatment area as bed bugs can reside in these items too. Allow electronics to return to room temperature post-treatment before using them. • Increase heat penetration by moving furniture slightly away from walls and opening all drawers. Elevate mattresses and box springs slightly to allow heat to circulate underneath.

Items such as kennels and pet bedding, however, should remain to be treated.
