Quick answer: Whole-room heat treatment is the most reliable way to eliminate bed bugs and their eggs in a single visit; over-the-counter sprays rarely reach eggs hidden in seams and often fail against resistant populations.
Bed bugs travel in luggage, used furniture, and shared walls, then hide in mattress seams, headboards, and baseboard cracks during the day. They’re active only at night, which is why most people don’t notice them until bites or dark spotting on sheets appear.
Bed bugs don’t spread disease, but a single fertilized female can start an infestation that spreads to neighbouring units in apartments and condos if it isn’t contained quickly.
We use whole-room heat treatment to kill bed bugs and eggs in a single visit where the property allows it, combined with targeted chemical treatment in harbourage areas. We inspect adjoining rooms in multi-unit buildings and follow up to confirm the treatment held.

Store-bought sprays rarely reach eggs hidden in seams and cracks, and bed bugs can develop resistance to common over-the-counter chemicals.
No — bed bugs are attracted to warmth and carbon dioxide, not dirt, and can turn up in the cleanest homes after travel or secondhand furniture.
Heat treatment typically resolves an infestation in a single visit, while chemical treatment often needs a follow-up 10-14 days later to catch newly hatched eggs.
