Bed Bug Treatment Options
Serving all of Wisconsin
If bed bugs are discovered, your Batzner team of specialists will discuss our two treatment options and recommend a plan for your property.
1. Conventional Treatments
This treatment uses a concentrated application applied to harborage locations. This method typically includes three applications scheduled two weeks apart to coincide with the bed bug reproduction and incubation cycles. Tenants and pets must vacate during the service and can return after the treated areas have dried (four hours from the time we arrive for service).
Pre-Checklist
For successful treatments, follow this preparation guideline.
Advantages:

Disadvantages:
- Repeat treatments are usually necessary
- Certain items can’t be treated such as computers or clothing

2. Heat Treatments
Heat treatments effectively eliminate bed bugs at all stages of their life cycle. It is a good choice when results are needed quickly or when a chemical-free solution is desired. During the heating process, temperatures will be raised to 120-140 degrees, which is lethal to bed bugs. For added protection, a conventional treatment is applied.
