Heat can clear a bedroom of bed bugs in a single day. Our technicians set up commercial heaters and fans, put wireless sensors inside mattresses, sofa cushions and along wall edges, and watch the readings until every spot is hot enough. Most Chino Hills families sleep in their own beds again that night.
Why Heat Kills Every Stage
Eggs, nymphs and adults all die at treatment heat, and bed bugs cannot develop resistance to it. We keep the coolest spot in each room at about 120°F or higher for a set time, turning mattresses and moving cushions so heat reaches every fold.
How the Day Runs
- Set upYou take out heat sensitive items while we place heaters, fans and sensors.
- Ramp upRooms climb to treatment temperature over a few hours.
- HoldWe watch the sensors and shift furniture so no cool pocket remains.
- Cool offHeaters go off, rooms cool and we go over the temperature log with you.
Heat in Chino Hills Houses
Census data list the 1970s as the most common build decade in 91709, and much of the city filled in during the 1980s and early 1990s. Many of these two story homes have open stairwells and lofts, so we section off floors to hold the heat where it is needed. We also confirm the electrical setup ahead of time. In townhomes that share walls, we often add a residual product along the shared side.
Remove These First
- Medicines, candles, aerosol cans, cosmetics, houseplants and pets.
- Electronics, musical instruments and anything else we mark as heat sensitive.
- Clothes and bedding can usually stay put unless we say otherwise.
- Leave dresser drawers and closet doors open so warm air moves freely.
Heat Treatment Questions
Can you heat a living quarters trailer?
Often, yes, using a smaller setup sized to the trailer. We check the trailer's materials, electronics and any propane equipment first, and some trailers are better suited to steam and a chemical treatment instead. We tell you which approach fits after the inspection.
Our upstairs gets hot in summer. Is that enough to kill bed bugs?
No. An upstairs bedroom can feel very warm, but the inside of a mattress or a packed closet stays far cooler than the treatment temperature. Our heaters and sensors keep every spot hot enough for long enough.
