Heat can clear bed bugs from a whole home in 1 day. Our technicians bring commercial heaters and fans, place wireless sensors in mattresses, sofa cushions and along walls, and track every reading until each spot is hot enough. Most Laguna Niguel families are back in their own beds that night.
Why Heat Works on Every Stage
Heat kills eggs, nymphs and adults, and bed bugs cannot build resistance to it. We aim for about 120°F or more at the coolest spot in each room and hold it long enough to reach eggs, turning mattresses and cushions so no cool pocket is left.
Treatment Day
- PrepYou remove heat sensitive items while we set up heaters, fans and sensors.
- Warm upTemperatures rise over several hours, floor by floor.
- HoldSensor readings guide us as we shift cushions and open closets until every spot is hot.
- Cool downHeaters go off, rooms cool, and we review the temperature log with you.
Heat in Laguna Niguel Homes
Warm air rises, so in split level and 2 story homes the upper bedrooms heat first and the lower rooms lag. We place extra heaters and sensors downstairs and on landings and watch the stairway closely. In townhomes and condos with shared walls, we often add a residual product along those walls in case a few bugs move toward the neighbor's side.
Take These Out First
- Medicines, aerosol cans, cosmetics, wine, plants and pets.
- Electronics, musical instruments, artwork and anything we flag as heat sensitive.
- Candles, crayons, lipstick and other items that can melt.
- Open drawers and closets so warm air can circulate.
Heat Treatment Questions
Our bedrooms are upstairs but the guest room is down by the garage. Will both get hot enough?
Yes, that is what the sensors are for. Lower rooms warm more slowly, so we add heaters and fans there and keep going until the coolest sensor on every floor reaches the target.
Can our dog stay home in the yard during treatment?
We ask that pets leave the property or stay with a friend for the day. Heaters, cords and open doors make it unsafe for animals to stay on site.
