      Nah, the maintenance guys in my old apartment building a few years ago doused my unit and me with aerosolized chemicals. Fun times. I’m assuming it’s much cheaper than heat treating.

        Heat treating is tricky since it involves getting the entire area heated up to around 55 degrees I believe. That includes anywhere they’re hiding, so it needs to be a consistent 55 degrees throughout. Usually there’s like these big tent structures and such involved.

        It’s more effective than poison though, at a 100% lethality if you do it right.
