Every room gets heated, but we target different temperature ranges depending on where bed bugs are most likely to be living:

  • Bedrooms, family rooms, closets, and living areas: 130°F to 160°F. These are the primary target zones where bed bugs live and breed, so we push the heat harder and longer in these
  • Kitchens and bathrooms: 130°F to 140°F. These rooms still get fully heated — bed bugs can be present — but we don’t need to push temperatures as high as the living areas.

Hitting the temperature is only half of it. We also soak each room — meaning we hold that lethal heat for a sustained period of time so it fully penetrates walls, furniture, mattresses, and every void where a bed bug could be hiding. Temperature alone isn’t enough. It is the combination of hot enough temperature, efficient airflow, the length of heat time or soaking, furniture manipulation, and attention to detail that guarantees complete bed bug elimination.
