Topic: Greentech Heat Solutions or Orkin for Bed Bugs?

We are in Southern California and have a bed bug problem in one of our buildings! We need help really fast, but I don't know much about bed bug treatment. In my search, I found Greentech Heat Solutions, which seemed to focus on bedbugs, but I didn't know if they would be better than a "big brand" like Orkin. I don't mind giving business to a company I am not familiar if I have heard others with good experiences, but I don't want to just jump in "bed" with them. But as you know, we are under the gun on this! Or maybe there is another provider who might work better? Anybody please chime in!

Here's another discussion regarding the topic.

The heat works good but we use a spray from the pest control but it will not do any good if the tenants don't wash their linen, clothes, etc and it has to be repeated in 7-10 days

Spray the mattresses and base boards and anything you can including behind the outlet plates with bed bug spray then fog the apartment. Once everything is dry then Dust everything with Diatomaceous Earth. Dust everything you sprayed including mattresses and put mattress bags on. This is quite a bit of work but it's cheaper to do it this way.

If it is an extreme case then the furniture needs to be destroyed and not just given away. Also the carpet may need to be replaced but that is just in an extreme case

Thanks everyone! But one thing I was hoping for was feedback specifically for either Greentech Heat Solutions or Orkin. Has anyone worked with them for bed bug treatments?

We use Orkin for all of our pest issues, including Bed Bugs. We have had 3 apartments that have had bed bugs, and Orkin has treated all. They will schedule 2 treatments, 2 weeks apart. They provided us with a pre-treatment prep list to give to the tenants to complete. We have never had any issues with bugs returning or spreading to any adjacent apartments. I would recommend Orkin.

We use Orkin very professional they give a inspection, a list for tenet to do before they treat It is a couple step process
They will do furniture if tenet bring to there warehouse in a u haul truck they tent the truck in the warehouse
They inspect They will sell the mattress and box spring covers
They check if tenet did every thing on list
They treat 2 times a weeks apart
We have a national account with Orkin they serve all our properties

Greentech heat sells equipment and training for heat treatments. Non-chemical. they do not offer service. Two different directions. DIY or hire a service. If you have frequent problems, DIY is the way to go.

I have used Green Tech Heaters for over 5 years now. They are very user friendly and with little training you can go far in successfully getting rid of bed bugs. May i suggest speak with Dr. Linford himself and he can help you get set up in apartment situations.
