Because prep, setup, monitoring, and experience all matter. EcoForce treats heat like a controlled professional process, not a shortcut.
Bed bug bites can show up in lines or clusters after sleeping, but bites alone do not confirm bed bugs. Look at bites together with live bugs, spotting, shed skins, and where the activity is showing up.
