Hi Robert. Thanks for reaching out and for your interest in our bed bug treatment solutions! You’re right that high temperatures are effective in killing bed bugs instantly. Using steam at a high temperature is a great way to eliminate bed bugs on contact. However, bed bugs can be tricky little pests, often hiding in tiny cracks, crevices, and even within furniture where steam might not always reach. That's where our powder comes in! Our powder, which contains Diatomaceous Earth (DE), is a long-term solution that works hand-in-hand with the steam treatment. After you've used steam to kill the bed bugs you can see, the powder provides continuous protection by killing any remaining or newly hatched bed bugs as they move through it. This means you’re not just addressing the problem you can see; you're also preventing any potential re-infestations by targeting those hiding in hard-to-reach places. I hope this helps clarify why we recommend both methods. Please
Why the powder tho I thought high temp was enough ?
