Bed Bug Heat Tent: DIY vs Pro? A Comparison

Bed bugs roasting your Montreal sleep? Heat tents can cook ‘em dead—DIY or pro, your call. In 2025, Montreal’s infestation surge (40x since 2005) makes this a hot topic for North Shore or South Shore homes. Let’s weigh the options.

DIY Heat Tent Breakdown

  • How It Works: Portable heater (1200W+) with insulation—aim for 50°C+ (122°F) for 6+ hours.
  • Cost: $100-300 for gear—DIY setup takes 4-6 hours.
  • Catch: Uneven heat misses eggs—needs thermometer, risk of fire.

Pro Heat Tent Breakdown

  • How It Works: Commercial units hit 50-60°C (120-140°F), treats whole rooms—100% kill with pros.
  • Cost: $500-1500, 6-8 hours with prep/support.
  • Edge: Certified, safe, covers all hides.

Head-to-Head: DIY vs Pro

  • Effectiveness: Pro wins—DIY risks egg survival.
  • Time: DIY slower setup; pro faster execution.
  • Safety: Pro avoids DIY fire hazards—Quebec regs back ‘em.
