In a single day, a heat crew can clear bed bugs out of a house. The crew brings commercial heaters and fans, and sensors track the temperature inside mattresses, cushions and along the walls. Most Huron homes are ready to use again by nightfall.
Why Heat Works
Bed bugs and eggs die when they are held at high temperature for long enough, and they cannot develop resistance to heat the way they do to some sprays. Our technicians keep the coolest spots in each room at about 120°F or more, flipping mattresses and moving cushions so nothing stays cool.
How the Day Goes
- PrepItems that could melt are taken out, and heaters, fans and sensors go in.
- Heat upOver a few hours, each room is brought up to the kill temperature.
- HoldThe crew watches the readings and moves items so heat reaches every layer.
- Cool downRooms are checked, and a residual product may go along the edges.
Heat Treatment in Huron Homes
Heat is a good fit for families who want no pesticide on beds and for landlords who need a unit ready quickly between tenants. Many houses in 93234 were built in the 1970s or 1990s, so the crew should look at the electrical panel before setting up heaters and may bring its own generator. In summer, a crew may start at dawn to keep the job ahead of the afternoon heat.
Remove These First
- Candles, crayons, lip balm, aerosol cans, medicine, plants and pets.
- Photos, vinyl and anything else that could warp.
- Whatever else is on the crew's list, such as some electronics.
- Clothes and bedding usually stay put, unless the crew tells you to move them.
Questions About Heat Treatment
It is 105 degrees outside. Why can't the sun do the job?
Outdoor heat does not reach evenly into mattresses, walls and furniture. Our technicians use heaters, fans and sensors to hold every part of the room at a lethal temperature.
Can we sleep at home that night?
Usually yes. After the rooms cool and the crew signs off, most families can go back in the same evening.
