Bedbugs Make a Comeback; High-Temperature Steam the Most Effective Weapon
LITTLETON, CO (PRWEB) May 26, 2010 Bedbugs, once the scourge of tenements, steerage and boarding houses and nearly eradicated in the United States in the latter part of the 20th Century, are making a strong comeback throughout the country, and this time finding their way into five-star hotels, luxury cruise lines and even the finest homes.
One of the most effective methods of dealing with an infestation of the blood-sucking pests is steam cleaning mattresses, drapes, upholstery and carpeting, the specialty of Colorado?s Bedbug Buster Phil Dreessen, owner of A Personal Touch Carpet Cleaning of Littleton (http://www.apersonaltouchcarpetcleaning.com).
?Extreme heat, over 120 degrees Fahrenheit, kills bedbugs and their larvae more effectively than any other technique,? says Dreessen. ?Our commercial-grade steamers exceed that temperature and do a thorough job. Plus, of course, they also clean these fabric surfaces, leaving them both bug free and dirt free.?
