Alliance Environmental Group Introduces ThermaPureHeat, A Non Toxic Pest Control Alternative Used To Eliminate Bed Bugs
Household scavengers that thrive in mattresses, pillows, quilts and other textiles, bed bugs seek nutrients found in human skin cells and pet dander. Often found in homes and businesses such as hotels, it is important to treat a bed bugs infestation as quickly as possible. ThermaPureHeat provides an environmentally safe process for killing bed bugs without chemicals.
“Bed bugs are not a new problem but we are seeing an increase in bed bugs in the hotel industry,” says Company Spokesperson Bill Wood. “Ideal for homes and businesses, ThermaPureHeat offers a non toxic, minimally invasive method for killing bed bugs. Our customers not only benefit from an environment free of bed bugs, but indoor air quality is also improved through the implementation of ThermaPureHeat.”
The use of heat to kill pests like bed bugs is more effective and safer than the use of chemical treatments and saves customers time and money. While most chemical treatments require evacuation of a structure, ThermaPureHeat produces results in a matter of hours and buildings are safe to re-enter immediately after treatment. ThermaPureHeat works by raising the core temperature of a structure to 140-160 degrees Fahrenheit with the use of specially designed heaters. This non toxic pest control method can be applied to an entire structure or specific areas depending on the severity of the problem. Safe for people and animals, this method kills pests like bed bugs and improves air quality within a building.
“ThermaPureHeat is ideal for homes, hotels, large residential complexes, offices, and other buildings. Treatment can be completed in a matter of hours and our customers can conduct their lives and business as usual,” explains Wood.
Beyond killing bed bugs, ThermaPureHeat may also be used to rid structures of mold, fungus, odors, and mildew. ThermaPureHeat is a convenient, effective, economical, time-saving solution for the elimination of pests like bed bugs and other harmful environmental elements.

Say Goodbye to Bed Bugs, Nationally Recognized Pest Control Expert Is Leading Efforts to Exterminate Bed Bugs in the New York City Region
The resurgence of bed bugs in the past few years has brought on the need for more comprehensive solutions and new treatments for this problem. The number of bed bug complaints in New York City tripled from 2004 to 2008, going from more than 1,000 to over 7,000. Residences as well as hotels and motels have suffered in the New York City area from the growing problem of bed bugs.
Bed bugs are developing a resistance to the chemicals that have previously been useful in their extermination and control. Stern Environmental Group is at the cutting edge of testing new technology when it comes to bed bug eradication. One of only several firms using Cryonite in the United States, Stern Environmental Group now provides this new poison-free bed bug eradication treatment that uses the freezing power of Carbon Dioxide snow to rapidly freeze bed bugs in all life phases. This new freezing treatment, which has been popular in Australia and Europe, even kills bed bugs eggs which have typically been immune to traditional chemical treatments.
If you need help for your own bed bug problem or want to know what is happening in the fight against bed bugs, turn to pest control expert Douglas Stern, managing partner of the Stern Environmental Group, LLC. Douglas Stern, who has recently been quoted on bed bugs and other pest control topics in several national publications such as the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and Business Week, has been in the pest control business for over 10 years. Distressed home and business owners have turned to him for years for successful pest control and now the media is turning to this regional expert too. Stern Environmental Group services clients in the New York City metropolitan area and is based in New Jersey, but advises media from around the country on bed bug control issues.
In addition to providing residential and hospitality industry service for bed bug extermination using Cryonite as well as providing traditional chemical treatments, Stern also sells special bed bug bite proof mattress covers and box spring encasements. These quality covers allow bed bug sufferers to keep expensive bedding after treatment after they have been treated for bed bugs. These special covers made for the pest control industry and extensively tested in the laboratory to be bed bug bite proof and bed bug escape proof, are available for purchase online in the Stern Environmental bed bug product store.
Clients who have suffered with bed bugs have sent the firm unsolicited comments about their experiences with the Stern Environmental Group extermination staff. Here are just a few comments that have been received by Stern Environmental Group recently on their services:
“The service technician responsibly took the time necessary to ensure total extermination of the bugs almost as if he was working in his own home. The methods and processes utilized by Stern ultimately proved to be outstanding since my infestation is now completely remedied.”
“A bed bug infestation is a very disheartening and horrible ordeal to go through and your staff was very kind to us and sensitive to our dilemma.”
“My bed bug problem was eliminated 100%; I can now sleep throughout the night.”
“After just one visit, I am finally bed bug free!”
For additional information on bed bugs and new extermination and control options contact Douglas Stern for media interviews and for residential and hospitality bed bug extermination services in New York City, the New York City metro area, and New Jersey. Stern Environmental Group is a top expert in bed bug eradication and a product resource for bed bug bite proof mattress covers and box spring encasements.

Alliance Environmental Group Introduces ThermaPureHeat, A Non Toxic Pest Control Alternative Used To Eliminate Bed Bugs
When covering up with a blanket or getting into bed at the end of the day, unwanted pests like bed bugs may also be accompanying a relaxing evening. When it comes to eliminating bed bugs and other household pests like bed bugs, Alliance Environmental Group employs new technology to get rid of them safely. Alliance Environmental Group introduces ThermaPureHeat, a non toxic pest control method that utilizes heat to kill bed bugs, termites, and other pests like bed bugs.

Step Right Up for Pest Control at Bedbug Meeting
At a meeting here this week, a line of salespeople wore green hardhats decorated with large black bugs, red tongues protruding and legs wiggling, as they spoke about the urgent need to protect mattresses.
Not far from various heating, freezing, dusting and spraying devices aimed at abolishing the creatures were stuffed, pastel-colored bedbugs. All around were films, charts and blown-up photographs of the bugs themselves — the enemies (and stars) of this show.
More than 360 concerned people — entomologists; pest control workers; government, military and university officials; and, especially, inventors of anti-bedbug contraptions — gathered here in the Chicago suburbs on Tuesday and Wednesday for the event, which had a growing waiting list of more than 200 people.
“I can give you back your life in a day,” one pest control company owner, Scott Linde of Edison, N.J., said as he pointed a visitor toward a room full of heaters and computerized heat monitors, all aimed at eviscerating bedbugs in a matter of hours.
“People still have in their heads that bedbugs means someone’s dirty,” Mr. Linde said, “but I handle multimillion-dollar homes in Westchester and Connecticut, and believe me, no one’s dirty.”
Phillip Cooper, an organizer of the conference who proudly wore his BedBug Central company logo shirt, said this was the biggest, broadest meeting of its kind since bedbugs began making their miserable return. The price tag for attendees: $450.
Mr. Cooper’s brother, Richard, an entomologist he calls “the god of bedbugs,” had warned for years that they were returning and helped create BedBug Central, a company that sells “boot camp” training to pest control companies and produces regular “BedBug TV” Webcasts on the latest woes.
“This isn’t going away,” Mr. Cooper said of the insects, pointing out that nearly all interested parties besides the hotel industry had chosen to be represented at the conference.
The seminars, which drew standing-room-only crowds, were not meant for those with a passing interest or for those quick to cringe (or itch). Among the topics: “Bring the Heat,” “Fumigation” and “Group Homes — Unique Challenges in Transient Settings.”
In the hallways, the ordinary pleasantries sounded anything but ordinary. Some people shared suggestions on how best to check beds, mattresses and sheets for bedbugs.
(Nearly everyone said they had done as much when they arrived at the host hotel, and the maids may find more than a few headboards askew from their search. Many people said they started out by putting luggage on the bathroom floor, the better to see any scurrying, before investigating hiding spots in the rest of the room. One man put his luggage inside a bedbug-proof bag and kept all his clothes on a non-fabric chair throughout his stay, though his initial survey found nothing.)
A few attendees debated chemical solutions versus heat, whose supporters said it was generally more expensive but required fewer treatments. Others traded tales of their most challenging infestations.
“You got a popcorn ceiling? You’re dead,” said Kristine Effaldana, who owns dogs trained to search for bedbugs, including Walter, a puggle who sat at her feet looking mildly puzzled in the crowd. She was referring to the sprayed-on texture that was in style 40 years ago and can be a breeding ground for bugs.
If anything, the products promoted revealed that there is, for now, no single, agreed-on answer to the problem. The sheer number of them is enormous and growing by the week: dissolving laundry bags, plastic luggage protectors, screw-in bug barriers for the bottoms of bed legs, slow-release strips meant to vaporize bugs, portable aerosol machines and on and on.
Many grumbled about newcomers to the battle and about products that promised to do everything at little cost. “There are so many pest control places out there showing up and undercutting,” said Corey Westrum of Leonard, Minn., who helped create Insect Inferno, a portable trailer that heats mattresses.
Of course, no one seems to agree yet on exactly who is legitimate and who is, in the words of Brian Hirsch, a sales manager for Protect-A-Bed, “a Johnny-come-lately.” Even the organizers of this event said they were not necessarily endorsing those who had chosen to display their goods.
One absolute message here: there is no shame in bedbugs. It is not you. It is them. Still, there were acknowledgments of how the rest of the country may feel.
At the booth of USBedBugs.com, the company’s sign promised “discreet home delivery,” which workers there said meant that items like travel sprays and large plastic bags would arrive in plain brown boxes with no company name on the return address.
