Heat can rid a room of bed bugs in one day. Our team sets up commercial heaters and fans, slips wireless sensors into mattresses, cushions and wall edges, and watches the numbers until every corner is hot enough. Most Morgan Hill families sleep in their own beds again that night.
Why Heat Works
Eggs, nymphs and adults all die at treatment heat, and no bed bug population has become resistant to it. We bring the coolest point in each room to about 120°F or more and keep it there for a set time, flipping mattresses and moving cushions so no cool spot is left.
Heat Day, Hour by Hour
- SetupYou remove heat sensitive items while we place heaters, fans and sensors.
- Warm upRoom temperatures rise over a few hours.
- HoldSensor readings guide us as we flip mattresses and shift cushions into the heat.
- Cool downThe heaters switch off, the rooms return to normal and you see the temperature log.
Heat in Morgan Hill Houses
A large share of homes in 95037 were built in the 1960s and 1970s, and some older houses near downtown date from before 1950. In those homes the electrical panel can limit how much power we draw, so we check it before heat day. Larger 1990s and 2000s houses have more rooms to bring up to temperature, so we plan the job one floor at a time.
Take These Out First
- Medicine, candles, aerosol cans, cosmetics, plants and pets.
- Phones, tablets, batteries and anything else we flag as heat sensitive.
- Clothes and bedding normally stay unless we tell you otherwise.
- Leave drawers and closet doors open so hot air can move through.
Heat Treatment Questions
Can you heat a guest cottage as well as the main house?
Often, yes. We check the power supply in each building first. A small cottage can usually be heated on its own day or alongside the house, depending on how much power is available.
Do sports bags and gear have to come out?
Fabric bags can usually stay in the heated rooms with the electronics and aerosol sprays removed. Helmets, foam pads and anything with batteries need a separate plan, and we tell you which items to set aside.
