Able Equiment Provides Chemical-Free Heating Equipment to Eliminate Bed Bugs

NEW YORK - July 13, 2011 - As the incidents of bed bug infestation continue to rise, now turning up in New York retail establishments, Able Equipment Rental, Inc. is regularly providing technical expertise with the right equipment to eliminate bedbugs in an effective and environmentally safe manner.

Over the past few years ABLE has rented 150kva Generators and 60kW Electric Heaters to New York City and Long Island exterminating companies for use in the heat remediation method to remove bedbugs and other unwelcome pests. The company has assisted with equipment placement and operation in many businesses, retailers, group residential facilities and private homes. ABLE provides the exterminators with the critical additional heating capacity ‐ in the correct strategic equipment sizing – to where bedbugs nest and hide thus eradicating bedbugs faster and more completely.

Heating an infested area to 50°C to 55°C for approximately three hours is a sure way to kill bedbugs at all stages of development while leaving no chemical residue. Plus, electric powered hot air heat remediation is safe for pets and food processing equipment, gives off no toxic combustion byproducts, has no open flames and has no chance of fluid leakage. Also, seasonality is not a factor in this method of treatment. Follow‐up with canines trained to sniff out even a single bug have proven total effectiveness.

There has been a large resurgence in bed bugs over the last five years that may be blamed on the high rate of international travelers and occupant turnover in hotels as well as the discontinued use of some pesticides including DDT. A Daily News‐Marist poll has found that one in 10 New Yorkers has found bed bugs in their home. A bed bug infestation can seriously threaten a business and reach an epidemic level if not treated with a professional bed bug program. Precautions against bed bugs such as staff training, modified cleaning, room modification and a proactive inspection service may be taken to reduce the risk of an epidemic.
