Bed Bug Heat Treatment vs. Chemical Treatment: Which Should You Choose?

By Pantheon Pests · Updated 2026-09-17

Heat

The structure is raised above 120°F for several hours, killing every life stage including eggs in one visit. Best for whole-home infestations and rental turnovers.

Chemical

Residual products and growth regulators are applied to harborage areas over two or three visits. Lower cost, more prep, longer timeline.

Which to pick

Speed and severity decide it. Our bed bug treatment team will recommend the right one after inspection.
