Dual-Method Expertise
We offer both heat treatment and chemical treatment, and choose the right method based on your specific infestation. Some situations require one or a combination of both.
Thorough elimination at every life stage — eggs, nymphs, and adults.
Comprehensive elimination using heat and chemical protocols tailored to your infestation.
Bed bugs are among the most stressful pest problems a homeowner or property manager can face. They're small, they hide in seams and crevices you'd never think to check, and they reproduce quickly. A single pregnant female can establish an infestation in weeks. And because bed bugs hitchhike on luggage, clothing, and furniture, they don't discriminate by cleanliness — anyone can get them.
Signs of bed bugs include small reddish-brown stains on sheets (crushed bugs), tiny dark spots on mattress seams (droppings), itchy bites appearing in lines or clusters, and live bugs visible in mattress seams, headboard joints, and baseboards. In Summit County, the vacation rental market in Park City creates elevated bed bug risk as travelers unknowingly transport them between properties.
Summit Shield offers comprehensive bed bug treatment using both heat treatment and targeted chemical protocols, selected based on the severity and location of the infestation. Heat treatment raises room temperatures to levels lethal to bed bugs at all life stages — eggs included. Chemical treatments target harborage areas and provide residual protection. We tailor the approach to your situation and follow up to confirm complete elimination.
Effective bed bug elimination requires the right method, thoroughness at every life stage, and confirmed follow-up.

Bed bug eggs are resistant to many treatments. Heat treatment eliminates eggs, nymphs, and adults in a single session. Chemical treatments include products with residual activity to catch emerging nymphs.

We schedule a follow-up inspection after treatment to confirm elimination. If bed bug activity is detected, we re-treat at no additional charge.
We inspect all sleeping areas, furniture seams, headboard joints, baseboards, and common harborage areas using visual inspection and monitoring tools. We determine the extent of the infestation and identify which rooms are affected. For vacation rentals, we can inspect between guest turnover to catch problems before they spread to guest reviews.
Based on the inspection, we select the appropriate treatment method. Heat treatment involves raising room temperatures to 120–135°F for a sustained period, killing all life stages. Chemical treatment targets harborage areas with products that have immediate knockdown and residual activity. For severe infestations, we may combine both methods for maximum effectiveness.
We schedule a follow-up inspection 7–14 days after treatment to verify elimination. This timing allows any surviving eggs to hatch and encounter residual treatment. If any activity is detected, we perform a secondary treatment at no additional cost. For vacation rental clients, we can provide documentation confirming treatment completion.

"We found bed bugs in our vacation rental between guest stays. Summit Shield did a heat treatment the same day we called and provided documentation for our property management company. No guest complaints since."
"After our son came back from college with bed bugs in his luggage, they spread to two bedrooms before we caught it. Summit Shield inspected the whole house, treated with heat and chemicals, and came back two weeks later to confirm they were gone. Thorough and professional."
