Patrick Dente, co-owner of Abatem Exterminating in Massachusetts and Vermont, was sitting with his brother one evening going back and forth about ideas to confront the spreading infestation. We realized there was a hole in the (treatment) market and we spent nearly a year coming up with the idea to create a heated truck, said Patrick Dente. That was two years ago. In the meantime, brothers and co-owners Patrick and Daniel built their first heated truck in their backyard out of a U-Haul. The Dentes have now upgraded the technology in their trucks and are marketing the heat method nationwide.

How bedbug heat treatment works:

The property owner packs up the entire household of solid goods, furniture, electronics, or anything else that is moveable. Clothing, bedding, and other soft items such as plush toys are packed separately once washed and dried in hot water and high heat in a dryer for 30 minutes. The soft items are placed in different plastic bags once properly cleaned. The company offers a trailer with portable clothes dryers to lessen infestation at local Laundromats. Companies in your area may provide the same service.

The company will move all of your furniture into a large (usually 24 feet long), specially equipped truck that will gradually heat up to 140 degrees over a couple of hours time. Temperatures of 115 degrees will kill the bedbugs and their eggs, but we heat to 140 degrees for 100 percent eradication in a shorter period of time, said Dente. Bedbugs die at 115 degrees, but it takes a long time, he said.
