What's the best pest control for bedbugs in a Dubai apartment?

For bedbugs in Dubai, heat treatment or a combination chemical approach is the most effective. Here's what actually works: Chemical treatment: A professional will apply residual insecticide to all harborage points — mattress seams, bed frames, headboard, skirting boards, behind electrical outlets, and inside wardrobes. This must be done by a licensed pest controller. Gel bait is less effective for bedbugs than for cockroaches. Heat treatment: More expensive (AED 800–2,000) but extremely effective — raises the room temperature to 50°C+ which kills all life stages including eggs. Minimal preparation required. How many visits: Almost all infestations require 2 visits. First treatment kills active bedbugs. Follow-up 2–3 weeks later catches newly hatched eggs from any that survived. Always choose a company that includes the follow-up in their quoted price. Your building management is wrong about it being your sole responsibility — if bedbugs are spreading from adjacent units through shared walls, it becomes a building-wide issue they must address. Document everything in writing.
