[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 732554, member: 16024"] My adult step-son (Difficult Child) worked at a pest control company that specializes in bed-bug removal at one point. At least the way it was done then, a couple of years ago, was heat treatments. They had to go in and turn up the heat and put heaters all over to get the house to well over 100 degrees ( maybe 130 or 140, I can’t remember now). The tricky part is that the workers have to keep going in and moving things around so that there are no “cold spots” where bed bugs can hide. Then they have to dash out because of the heat. So, mattresses, dishes, clothes in closets, everything had to be continually moved to make sure they were all dead. Furniture moved, because they like to hide in carpets. I believe the crew worked all day on one house. Not sure if they have a pesticide now or not. And I am pretty sure the place would need to be de cluttered before they could do any kind of bed bug treatment. A top-selling realtor would probably be your best bet in finding someone that would do all the coordinating of services your friend needs. They usually have people they trust to do these kinds of things when it comes up, so they may be glad to do this in exchange for his listing. Good luck, and let us know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
