Bed bug heat treatment is generally considered to be more expensive than chemical treatment for several reasons.

First, the equipment and personnel needed for heat treatment can be costly. Specialized equipment such as heaters, fans, thermocouples, and temperature monitoring devices are required to raise the temperature in a room or building to the appropriate level to kill the bed bugs and their eggs. These equipment can be costly to purchase or rent, and the cost is often passed on to the homeowner or tenant.

Second, heat treatment requires a significant amount of energy, which can drive up the cost. Raising the temperature in a room or building to a level that is high enough to kill bed bugs requires a significant amount of energy, and this cost is often passed on to the homeowner or tenant.

Third, heat treatment can take a lot of time, and the longer the treatment takes, the more it will cost. The process of raising the temperature to the appropriate level, maintaining it for the appropriate amount of time, and then allowing the temperature to cool down before re-entering the space can take several hours or even days. This can be disruptive to the daily lives of homeowners or tenants and can also mean lost income for business owners.

Fourth, heat treatment companies may require a minimum number of rooms or square footage to be treated, which can increase the cost. Many heat treatment companies have a minimum charge which may be much higher than what is actually needed, this can cause an increase in cost.

On the other hand, chemical treatment is generally more affordable than heat treatment, because the equipment and personnel required are typically less expensive and the process is usually shorter. Furthermore, the chemicals used for bed bug treatment can be obtained at a lower cost compared to heat treatment equipment. However, it’s important to note that chemical treatment can be more effective if done by licensed professionals, and they may charge for their service.

In conclusion, bed bug heat treatment is generally more expensive than chemical treatment because of the specialized equipment and personnel required, the significant amount of energy needed, the time it takes and the minimum number of rooms or square footage required by some companies. While heat treatment may have its benefits, chemical treatment can provide a more affordable solution to bed bug infestations.
