“In a recent study, entomologists at the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture found the majority of bed bugs in the United States appear to have developed genetic mutations, making them resistant to the most commonly used insecticides called pyrethroids." – PCT Magazine

Green Bed Bug Control For Homes & Businesses

With a 97% success rate on the first treatment heat is the best way to rid a home or commercial facility of bed bugs. Insecticides are not always effective and can miss areas where bed bugs have congregated but heat treats everything simultaneously and does not leave residual pesticide behind. At Plunkett’s we take pride in offering a green solution to bed bug infestations and are the premier provider of bed bug heat treatments for Minneapolis and all of Minnesota as well as for much of the Upper Midwest and have provided heat treatments in hotel rooms, motel rooms, private residences, apartments, townhouses, businesses, resorts and even city buses.

Get Rid Of Bed Bugs With Heat Treatment

How our bed bug heat treatments work is quite simple. We bring equipment and sensors to your home or apartment to warm everything up to a temperature that is lethal to bed bugs but still safe for the building and personal belongings (about 135°F). This temperature is held constant for about 3 hours. Our technician uses wireless temperature sensors to ensure the entire building and all its contents achieve the proper temperature that kills all stages in the insect life cycle. If a live bed bug is seen within 2 weeks of the treatment we’ll re-heat the treated area at no extra charge to your company.
