Unlike other low volume, low quality steamer on the market we have Dry Vapor BEDBUG STEAM units and attachments SPECIALLY BUNDLED for BEDBUG REMOVAL.
 

Step #1: Picking The Right Steamer
There are several steamer packages we offer for bed bug eradication but there are a few we think will do a better job. Some have higher wattage, some have hot water injection and some offer on board chemical spray systems. By the way, during our research period we discovered that some companies are selling junk steamers and even producing videos on how to use them. One example was this guy using a small hand held steamer to do a mattress. Frankly, I have to say it was hard to believe my eyes. This guy was claiming that you can simply point this little toy steamer at the mattress and wave it around like some magic wand and the bugs would die. This is not reality. You have to move the steamer over the surface in order to deliver effective heat. Our commercial / industrial grade JRI steamers have specialized attachments just for this purpose. You want a true dry vapor steam cleaner with at least 1600 watts of power. 1800 is even better. By the way, we do sell the little hand held steamers, but we would never consider marketing it for this kind of job. At Just Renew-It! Industrial Supply LLC we believe in Honest First.

Below are our top choices for steamers. They are listed in order, best first. All the steamers listed here will work very well but some have faster steam regeneration, others have chemical injection, and various wattages. Our ideal is 1600 to 1800 Watts. 1800 Watts is as much power as you can get out of a common 15amp household power outlet. This MAXIMUM wattage gives you maximum steam regeneration and power. For those that want the extra edge, consider a chemical injection system. You can actually put a bug killing agent in the injection system and with the press of a button, inject it into cracks around the home. This will give your extermination efforts a residual effect. that means, after your first steam pass, the chemical will keep on killing other bugs you might have missed. Again, super heated dry vapor steam is all you need. This is just an option and not required for the killing of bed bugs.

 

WHAT IS A DRY VAPOR STEAM CLEANER?
Simply put, a "Dry" vapor steam cleaner puts out virtually no water. A gallon of water typically can last a full hour of non stop sanitizing or cleaning. When you point the steam nozzle into the air you will see a large plume of steam yet, virtually no water will hit the ground. The term dry refers to the fact that it does not put out water solid, but rather steam vapor.  This super heated "dry" steam vapor is great for disinfecting surfaces like mattresses, carpets, drapes, walls, cracks, furniture and even unplugged electrical devices. When done right the super heated, sanitizing, bed bug killing moisture given off by a dry vapor steam cleaner can dry in most cases in just a matter of minutes. Dry steam is the perfect all natural, safe and healthy way to kill bedbugs, bacteria, viruses, dust mites, scabies, and other unwanted biological contaminates. It also makes a fantastic cleaning tool around the home or on the job. Read more about vapor steam cleaners here.

UNDERSTANDING CHEMICAL INJECTION & HOT WATER INJECTION:
All the Dry Vapor Steam Cleaners listed above include super heated dry vapor steam standard. Some offer Chemical Injection and some offer Hot Water Injection while others only have a dry steam feature. All will work well, and kill any bug including bed bugs on contact.

CHEMICAL INJECTION: (5000-Ci, Super Vapor 6)The chemical injection systems (5000-Ci & Vapor 6) have a chemical jug on the back of the unit that allows you to add your favorite detergent for cleaning or sanitizing. You may also add a earth friendly insecticide or other insecticide. USE CAUTION: Always ventilate room and wear appropriate chemical face masks and safety wear when using this injection feature with an insecticide!  The Chemical injection systems puts out hot chemical mingled with the steam flow.

The chemical injection, on both the 5000-Ci and the Super Vapor 6 have activation buttons right on the gun handle. This allows you to instantly switch from steam only to a steam /  hot chemical spray mix without putting down the wand. This might be especially useful for spraying cracks and crevices around a room, furniture or bedding. The chemical will NOT kill the bed bugs or any other bugs faster then steam. The steam will kill the instantly when used correctly. The chemical will however allow you to leave behind a residual killing agent. This can help kill bugs you missed later on. The chemical or detergent you load in the chemical tank should be in a thin, 100% liquid form and non flammable or explosive. This chemical is passed through the steamer and heated before it leaves the nozzle tip. It comes out in a sputtering spray / spitting action and comes out hot mingled with the steam. Be sure the chemical is safe with this application method.


HOT WATER INJECTION: (4000-C, 5000-Ci, Super Vapor 6) The hot water injection systems (5000-Ci, Vapor 6, 4000-C, 4000-S) either take water from an external tank as on the 5000-Ci or Super Vapor 6 or it takes water from internal tanks or tank such as on the VC4000-C or VC4000-S.  The units with INTERNAL hot water injection systems take water from the boiler system when the hot water injection is activated. This can cause your steamer to run out of steam water if it is used often. The EXTERNAL injection systems like the VC 5000-Ci or the Super Vapor 6 take the water from a separate water tank and they do not take from the boiler. This can give you a longer run time when cleaning or exterminating. The external tank used for the hot water injection is the same tank used for chemical injection. With an external tank system (5000-Ci, Super Vapor 6) you can use either chemical or water, but not at the same time. You simply fill your injection tank with either water or chemicals.


CONTINUOUS FILL: (4000-C, 5000-Ci, Super Vapor 6) A continuous fill steamer (Dual Tank System) allows you to add water on the fly. In other words, when the steamer is low on water you can add water WITHOUT shutting it down. You can then immediately pick back up where you left off working with virtually no down time. With continuous fill you will NOT have to wait for the boiler to heat back up again. How it works: A continuous fill steamer has two tanks, a boiler and a refill tank. When you add water you are simply filling the refill tank. The boiler is trickle fed from the refill tank thus insuring that the boiler is always kept full and ready for service. When the refill tank runs low you will hear a loud beeping sound and the unit will stop steaming until you add water. This feature is useful in saving you from having to wait for the unit to warm back up between refills. When refilling the easy non pressurized refill tank the units separate sealed boiler is kept full and hot and is instantly ready for use.
 

SINGLE TANK STEAMER: (VC3000 Series  VC4000-S) A (ST) single tank technology steamer, such as the VC-4000-S or VC-3000 are much like they sound. They have a large single sealed boiler. This technology is powerful and tends to be extremely dependable as its internal components are few in number. Its simplicity of design makes it rugged and dependable. The down side if any, to a single tank unit is that when it runs out of water you will have to release the steam pressure, open the pressure cap, fill it and wait for it to warm back up. This process will take about 30 minutes. The Good news is that the 4000-S can run in dry steam mode about 90 min NON STOP steaming on the HIGH setting! With hot water injection on this time is greatly reduced but hot water injection is not often used for pest control. If you plan on using the hot water injection often, be aware, you will run out of water quickly. If you plan on using the hot water injection very often consider the continuous fill systems like the 4000-C or 5000-Ci. All that being said, the 4000-S is a great system for bed bug extermination and other pest control issues. Don't forget, these units come with a range of included accessories that make then useful in hundreds of applications from bed bug removal to tile and grout cleaning, from window and glass cleaning to jewelry cleaning.  Note that the VC 3000 has a much lower wattage and does not have hot water injection. Though it is a good hot steamer, the lower wattage and smaller water tank makes it less suited for large scale bed bug removal. See the individual product pages for more information.


 

Dry Vapor Steam Cleaners KILL Bed Bugs ON CONTACT when used correctly:
There is NO question that a true JRI Commercial Dry Vapor Steam Cleaner kills bed bugs on contact virtually instantly when used right. All that remains is a detailed set of instructions on how to do this. Well, lets do that now. Below is a simple guide on how to steam your bedroom. The process is really very easy. Remember, steam kills bed bugs fast but to do this, you have to steam where they are and get the steam head close. That is why we have introduced the bug zapper and drain fly cone shown above. Read our Detecting Bed Bugs section to learn where they live. The best way to accomplish this is to systematically steam the whole room starting with the most likely areas of contamination, your bed area and working your way out.  We will explain item by item how to sanitize your bedroom below. This same approach can be used around your whole house. Our desire is to produce a simple demo video showing this simple process sometime in the future.

Some people question whether they should have a pest control company handle it or do it themselves. The answer to this is that this is not an "either or" decision. You can do it yourself now OR you can do both. Personally, even if I did chose a pest control company I would want a steamer so I could repeatedly attack the problem wherever, and whenever I wanted to! Even if its 2AM in the morning, I know I'm armed for battle with my trusty steamer and not alone. I'm not the kind of person that would want to wait around getting bit while a pest control company schedules me in for a visit. Steam gives you the ability to take action immediately, anytime of the day or night.

Easy Bed Bug Vapor Steam Extermination Instructions

1. You should remove all clutter from the bedroom or room to be treated. You should strip your bed and wash the bedding and any clothing at the hottest setting on your washer machine. Dry all items on the highest/hottest settings as well. Don't use a close hanger, but rather use a dryer. The heat will help sanitize the material. NOTE: If you are going to a laundry matt please be considerate, use the steamer to steam your bedding and other items first. Then place them in large plastic bags and close tight. This is to avoid spreading the problem to other people via the laundry matt. Remember, we are all in this together so lets love our neighbors and do the right thing. Now that the clutter is removed and the bedding stripped and washed lets begin. Oh, by the way, before you bring the bedding back into the home, BAG & tie the bag. to help prevent recontamination.
2. Fill your steamer with water, plug it in, turn it on and let warm. Use no attachments at first, just the hose and gun. Once warmed, lets turn down the steam flow. Using the little black knob on the right of the steamer, turn down the pressure about 1/2 to 2/3's of the way. Do this by pulling the steam trigger and adjusting the steam flow by eye. The idea is to have a slower flow of steam. A slower flow mixes less with the air around you and remains hotter as it hits the surface. It also allows you to steam without blasting the bugs across the room. You want to kill them, not send them across the room to find a new hiding spot.
3. BEGIN STEAMING: Start with your bed. Use the gun without attachments to steam along the seam or piping of the bed. Be sure to blast in both sides of the seam. Also visually inspect for eggs, droppings and or shed body parts. Take your time. Do not race across the mattress, you want to give the steam a chance to heat the area. A good speed for the seams would be maybe 10 to 15 seconds per length of bed seam. Once the top seams are done put on your large bed bug attachment. Begin steaming the bed surface by pulling the attachment across the whole mattress top in even patterns. If you see a bug running, feel free to go get him! A good speed on this might be 5 to 10 seconds per stroke from top of the bed to the bottom. Do the sides in the same manner. Now stand the mattress up and do the bottom and box spring the same way. Next, with no attachment on or with the single hole attachment, go ever every nook and cranny of your bed frame. Steam every crevice! They like to hide. Once the bed is done steam the whole floor around the bed.
4. If you have hard wood floors attach the included cloth to the steam mop attachment. See steam mop video here. Sanitize the hard floor. If you have a rug, use either the steam mop head without a towel, OR use the large bed bug attachment and steam the carpet in patterns. Don't forget to get the edges where the carpet meets the wall. Now, systematically work your way out from the bed. Move night stands and other objects away from bed.
5. Using a detail attachment or no attachment at all to blast steam into every crack in your night stand. Remove drawers and steam everywhere you can. Big cavities and deep places in your furniture that you can't reach with the gun, allow steam to fill the void and flow for a minute or two. The idea is to get it good and hot in there, well over 120 degrees. Once done, place that night stand or piece of furniture over by the bed. Repeat this process for the whole room. If you are concerned about your bed being re-contaminated by potential running bugs, place the legs of the bed in bowls of simple cooking oil. This will create a barrier the bugs wont be able to cross. A great idea that should be done either way.
6. Using the cone attachment, (optional) to steam outlets and light switches. Remember, they like to hide in small spaces. If you don't have the cone attachment just use the nozzle or large triangle attachment.  BE SURE TO TURN OFF MAIN BREAKER TO THE ROOM FIRST.  MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF! You can test to see if the power is off by plugging something in or trying the switch. Steam each outlet and switch. It is a good idea to even take the switch and outlet covers off but it is not absolutely necessary. Steam or remove all items like alarm clocks, radios and TV's. They often hide inside electronics. If you steam a TV be sure to let dry over night before using. Also note, there is always the possibility, though not likely, that the moisture will damage an item like a TV or other electronics. You can isolate small items like alarm clocks or even TV's from the rest of the room by putting a thick layer of Vaseline petroleum Jelly around the object. Bed bugs can NOT cross Oil or Vaseline.
7. Be sure to steam head boards, screw holes, floor boards and if they have any cracks and don't forget the wall cracks. Use your imagination, if you were a bug, where might you hide? Imagine it, then steam it! This may sound like a lot, but it works. The great news is that it is 100% NON toxic, has no harmful effects and it works. It is all about how good of a job you do.
8. Repeat treatments as often as needed. The beauty of having a steamer is that you can retreat any time you want virtually for free! Keep your bed in bowls of oil until the problem is over. Re-steam your mattress set, frame and head board. Place legs in oil, sleep well! TIP: Don't let your bed covers hang on the floor. This will defeat the purpose of the bed legs being in oil.
    

HELP GETTING THROUGH TONIGHT: More detailed information coming soon! We recommend ordering a dry vapor steam cleaner as soon as you can afford it. Also consider calling in a pest control expert. For now, strip your bed, wash and dry everything on the highest heat settings possible. Next, encase your mattress in a plastic liner. Clean & Sanitize your bed frame and mattress set as best as you can. Don't forget the head board! Place the legs of your bed in bowls of oil. You can use a salad bowl or a large coffee can as shown in the picture. You can use ANY oil. This will make a very effective barrier! Bed bugs can not cross oil. Vaseline is another great tool. You can spread a thick layer of Vaseline on any surface to make an instant no bug zone! Again, these bugs can not cross over this sticky jelly. You may use double sided sticky tape on your ceiling to prevent them from crawling over your head at night. This may damage the paint when you take it off later so use caution. Your best bet for sanitizing your mattress, rugs, bed frame and and home is a good dry vapor steam cleaner. More tips coming later.
