Close!

I was walking by and saw the guys unloading industrial sized fans. About 5 of them. And what looked like short segments of metal duct work, but turned out to be powerful electric heaters.

The owner came out, just as I got in front of the house, and shouted to another neighbor that they were getting rid of their bedbugs.

The service is very discreet, with no signs on their trucks.

When I got home, I looked it up. Apparently the homeowner has to open all drawers, cupboards, and closets. Remove all candles, aerosol cans, cans of soda, oil paintings, flammable fluids, pets, plants, etc. from the house, and unplug everything and turn off the HVAC. Then the service runs the powerful heaters off the generators and heats the house up to about 150 degrees and holds it there all day. That kills everything in the house.

They were setting up at around 8am and just left at 4pm.

The only way you can tell anything is going on is that you can see the generators running and heavy cables running in the front door and into windows.
