A single day of heat clears bed bugs from many Daly City homes. Our technicians set up professional heaters and fans, tuck wireless probes into mattresses, cushions and baseboards, and watch the readings until every room reaches a lethal level. In most cases the family sleeps at home that night.
Why Heat Reaches Every Stage
Bed bugs have not built up resistance to heat the way many have to sprays. When it is hot enough for long enough, eggs, nymphs and adults all die. We keep the coolest spot in each room at about 120°F or more for a set time, flipping mattresses and moving cushions so no cool pocket is left.

Heat in Daly City Homes
Daly City summers are cool and foggy, and outdoor temperatures rarely pass 75°F, so neither the weather nor a parked car will kill bed bugs here. Indoors, we plan for cool starting temperatures, stucco walls and lower floors next to an unheated garage. Packed closets and boxes in storage take longest to warm, so we spread them out and add probes there. In apartment buildings we confirm power and panel access with the owner before the day.
Take These Out First
- Pets, plants, medicines, makeup, aerosol cans and candles.
- Electronics, vinyl records, photos and anything we mark as heat sensitive.
- Leave clothing and bedding in place unless we say otherwise.
- Open drawers and closet doors so hot air can circulate.
Heat Treatment FAQ
Our house is cold most of the year. Does that make heat harder?
It takes a bit more planning. Cool, damp rooms start at a lower temperature, so we bring enough heaters and probes for the space and allow time for the slowest corners to reach a lethal level.
Does everyone need to leave?
Yes. People, pets and anything that might melt must be out of the house while the rooms are hot. Most families come back the same evening after the rooms cool.
