Heat can clear bed bugs from an Orange home in one day. Our technicians bring in professional heaters and fans, place wireless sensors inside mattresses, cushions and wall edges, and track the numbers until every part of every room is hot enough.
Why Heat Gets Every Life Stage
Bed bugs cannot build up a tolerance to heat. Every life stage dies once it stays hot enough for long enough, eggs included. Our target is the coldest corner of each room: we keep that spot at about 120°F or more for a fixed time, and we stand mattresses on edge and move cushions around so heat reaches all of it.

Heat in Orange Homes
Many Orange houses date from the 1950s and 1960s, and Old Towne homes are older still, so we check the electrical panel and power supply before treatment day. In split houses and garden apartments, heat can drive a few bugs toward the next unit, so we often add a residual product along shared walls. Let us know about pianos, vinyl records and other heat-sensitive items.
Take These Out First
- Candles, crayons, makeup, aerosol cans, medicine, plants and pets.
- Computers, records, instruments and anything else we flag as heat sensitive.
- Leave clothes and bedding in place unless we say otherwise.
- Open drawers and closet doors so hot air moves freely.
Questions About Heat Treatment
Can heat damage the old wood floors in our Old Towne house?
Heat is applied at a controlled level and watched with sensors, and most wood floors handle it well. Tell us about fragile finishes, antiques or stained glass so we can protect them or treat those spots another way.
How soon can we sleep at home again?
Usually that same night. Once the heaters are off and the rooms cool down, the household can move back in.
