Heat can clear bed bugs from a room in one day. Our technicians bring commercial heaters and fans, place wireless sensors inside mattresses, sofa cushions and along the walls, and watch the readings until every spot is hot enough. Most San Clemente households sleep in their own beds again that night.
Why Heat Kills Every Life Stage
Eggs, nymphs and adults all die from heat, and bed bugs cannot develop resistance to it. We bring the coolest spot in each room to about 120°F or more and keep it there for a set time, turning mattresses and moving cushions so no pocket stays cool.

Heat in San Clemente Homes
In 92672 the 1960s is the most common build decade, so many homes near the coast run on older electrical service, and we check the power plan before the day. Homes in 92673 are mostly from the 1990s and later. In condos and apartments that share walls, we often add a residual product along the shared side in case a few bugs try to escape the heat.
Remove These First
- Medicines, candles, aerosol cans, cosmetics, plants and pets.
- Surfboards with wax, wetsuits with glued seams and anything else we mark as heat sensitive.
- Most clothing and bedding can stay in place unless we say otherwise.
- Leave drawers and closet doors open so warm air can circulate.
Heat Treatment Questions
Can we treat a rental unit with heat between bookings?
Often, yes. Heat usually takes 1 day, and the unit can be cleaned and made up again once it cools. We plan the date with you so the unit is back on the calendar as soon as possible, then come back for a recheck.
Does the ocean air or humidity change how heat works?
Not in a way that matters for the result. Our heaters and sensors bring every spot in the room to treatment temperature and hold it there, whatever the weather outside.
