Heat vs Chemical – Which Bedbug Treatment Works Best in Dartford Homes?
Trusted Advice from Pest Control Kent 24/7
Understanding Your Bedbug Treatment Options
When bedbugs invade your Dartford home, you need a treatment that works. At Pest Control Kent 24/7, we offer two of the most effective solutions: heat treatments and chemical treatments. But which is right for you?
Heat Treatment – Fast, Chemical-Free and Powerful
Heat treatment involves raising the temperature of the infested areas to over 50°C – enough to kill bedbugs at every stage of life, including eggs. It’s an eco-friendly, non-toxic approach that penetrates deep into furnishings and cracks.
Benefits:
- Kills bedbugs and eggs in one visit
- No chemical residue or odour
- Great for allergy-sensitive homes
- Minimal prep time
Chemical Treatment – Affordable and Targeted
Chemical sprays contain professional-grade insecticides that kill bedbugs on contact and continue working over time. Multiple treatments are sometimes needed, especially for larger infestations.
Benefits:
- Lower upfront cost
- Ongoing residual protection
- Can be combined with follow-up monitoring
- Works well in cluttered or high-risk homes
Which Is Best for Your Dartford Property?
Heat treatment is ideal for those who want fast, non-toxic results, especially in family homes, rental properties, or after a severe infestation. Chemical treatments may be more suitable if you’re on a tighter budget or need routine pest management.
Many Dartford customers combine both approaches for complete protection and peace of mind.
