I rented their equipment for the weekend. As it turns out, weekends are two days rental for the price of one! At a time when funds were tight, the option to do the bed bug removal myself seemed like the only option. I'm glad I did!
I'd spent well over $100 on poison that only acted as tear gas for humans and did nothing to remove the pests (thank you Raid). The stuff was making me ill and worsening my wife's existing health condition. Having a pest control company heat treat my house would have been cost prohibitive at $1800. Guard Tech quoted me much lower than that and also offered to rent the equipment to me. I chose to rent just the equipment.
The tech showed up on time and set up the equipment for me, leaving instructions on how to move it and some helpful tips. The whole process took me the better part of Friday night and all of Saturday. Scientifically speaking, it is fascinating to walk into a room and see a bed, chair, dresser, and closet full of cloths and be hit in the face by 160°F air - and knowing nothing can survive in such conditions! Needless to say, the heat took all the wrinkles out of the shirts hanging in the closet.
I am please with Guard Tech. I hope I don't need to use their services again, but if I do I will be calling them first and only!
