Heat treatment is one of the most commonly used methods for eradicating bed bugs. High temperatures kill these pests and their eggs for good. After months of research in collaboration with specialists, Swiss company Nocibilis has developed BugBuster: a clean, safe and ultra-effective thermal oven 2.0. Let’s take a closer look at this method, which is particularly well suited to hotels, local authorities and establishments open to the public.

➡️ The solution is particularly suitable for professionals who need to treat large quantities of items without risk of damage.
➡️ The treatment is ultra-fast, with a cycle time of less than 2 hours.

Pest control and rodents
Rats, mice, martens, shrews, voles and other rodents are a threat to health, safety and infrastructure..
Nocibilis offers safe, fast and environmentally friendly solutions to eliminate these pests permanently..
BugBuster : the thermal oven 2.0
After several months of intensive research and testing, the BugBusteris finally here. This cutting-edge solution eliminates bed bugs and their eggs without any chemicals.
Specifically, it is a large box measuring 2.5 m x 3 m, called a heat chamber, equipped with a heating and ventilation system.
Contaminated items such as furniture, suitcases, mattresses, etc. can be placed inside, then a thermal shock is triggered to eradicate bed bugs at all stages of their life cycle.
The scientific validation of the system was carried out by Jean-Michel Bérenger, a renowned medical entomologist, guaranteeing maximum effectiveness and a rigorously tested protocol..
Why choose the BugBuster?
The BugBuster is an essential ally for professionals dealing with infestations.
Here are its advantages:
✅ Speed: less than 2 hours are needed for a complete treatment, compared to nearly 8 hours with conventional solutions.
✅ Versatility: whether it’s suitcases, mattresses, laundry trolleys or various textiles, the BugBuster adapts to all types of infested items.
✅ Safety: the thermal process poses no risk of damage to the treated materials.
✅ Large treatment volume: up to 200 suitcases, 33 mattresses or 6 trolleys can be treated in a single cycle.
BugBuster: a solution tailored to the needs of professionals
Hotels, hostels, communities, university residences, business premises, an infestation of bed bugs can be catastrophic for professionals. The consequences are short-term (treatment costs, slowdown in activity, etc.), but also long-term (damaged brand image, bad reviews, etc.).
➡️ In short, acting quickly is crucial.
The BugBuster has been specially designed to meet these requirements. Powerful, fast and secure, the solution adapts to the needs of professionals.
Let’s take the example of a hotel with several rooms infested with bed bugs. The infestation can quickly spread throughout the entire establishment, leading to its temporary closure and therefore a significant loss of revenue. With the BugBuster heat treatment unit, it is possible to treat up to 33 mattresses and numerous pieces of furniture in two hours without damaging them. Business can resume more quickly and safely.
What’s more, each establishment can benefit from a customised oven with:
✅ Adjusted dimensions
✅ Adapted heat treatment cycles
✅ Optimised configuration for certain types of materials

BugBuster + Serenid: a winning combination
To ensure even more comprehensive treatment, Nocibilis has added an extra step in partnership with Serenid.
At the end of each heat cycle, Serenid Bed Bug SOS Spray (which individuals can also use at home) is sprayed inside the heat chamber. This finishing product acts as an additional barrier, reinforcing the effectiveness of the treatment by targeting any bed bugs that may be resistant or present in hard-to-reach areas.
This combined approach offers two advantages:
- Complete disinfection of treated surfaces and objects.
- Maximum safety for occupants and staff, thanks to an approved product that is harmless to human health, animals or materials.
➡️ Result: a 100% safe, environmentally friendly and ultra-effective protocol..
