Heat can clear bed bugs from a Rancho Cordova home in one day. Our technicians bring professional heaters and fans, place wireless probes in mattresses, cushions and wall gaps, and track the numbers until each room hits a lethal level. Most households sleep at home again that night.
Why Heat Reaches Every Stage
Adults, nymphs and eggs all die when held hot enough for long enough, and bed bugs have not developed resistance to heat. We keep the coolest spot in every room at about 120°F or more for the full hold time, shifting furniture and flipping cushions so no cool corner remains.

Heat in Rancho Cordova Homes
Small single-story post-war houses in 95670 heat quickly and evenly. Larger two-story homes in Sunridge and Anatolia take more equipment and closer probe watching, since upstairs rooms warm first. In apartments we confirm that the building owner allows the heaters and the power draw. Spring and fall are easier for pets and older relatives who wait outside during the hold.
Take These Out Before We Heat
- Medicine, aerosol cans, candles, lipstick, crayons, houseplants and pets.
- Laptops, TVs, instruments and any CPAP or oxygen machine.
- Clothes and bedding can usually stay where they are.
- Leave drawers and closets open so warm air moves through.
Heat Treatment FAQ
Can I leave my suitcase in the car on a 105 degree day to kill the bugs?
It is not a reliable fix. Cars cool down at night, and the middle of a full suitcase can stay below a lethal temperature for hours. Our equipment holds every part of a room at the right heat long enough, and probes prove it.
Is heat safe for a two-story house?
Yes. We heat floor by floor and place probes in each room, because upstairs bedrooms warm faster than ground floor rooms. We watch the readings until every probe reaches target.
