The Polti Cimex Eradicator is the first steamer ever made specifically for the eradication of bedbugs.
Affordable, user-friendly, and highly effective, the Eradicator has become the favorite choice of US pest control companies, housing authorities and hotels looking for a chemical-free system to eliminate bed bugs. While chemicals remain a frequent treatment choice, recent research (including a study published in the Journal of Economic Entomology, Feb. 2023) demonstrate that steam is far more effective than sprays. Moreover, as reported by the US Environmental Protection Agency, bed bug populations seem to be building up tolerance to commonly used chemicals such as pyrethrin, making it increasingly more difficult to eradicate them with sprays. Fortunately, it is impossible for bed bugs to build up resistance to the 356°F dry steam of the Polti Cimex Eradicator.
While there are other steamers on the market, the superheated dry steam of the Polti Cimex Eradicator demonstrated superior results over competing steamers in lab and field tests. Steam itself is not enough: it needs to be superheated, meaning at least 356°F degrees. Moreover, due to high humidity levels, wet steam can damage furniture and other household items (such as mattresses, cushions, and blankets). Thanks to its patented technology, the Polti Cimex Eradicator produces superheated dry steam with significantly lower moisture content, which evaporates quickly, leaving materials unharmed—all while eliminating the bed bugs instantaneously.
