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.
