Any space heater you get in the market is kitted with the thermostat which shuts off the heater at 40 degrees Celsius. You will never bring the temperature to the ideal number to kill bedbugs.
Thinking of getting an electric greenhouse heater. Only 1500w but thermostat shutoff goes to 99c. Whether you can get it up to the 48c needed is another matter.
This is not going to work because you will need to hit a peak temperature of 130 degrees and heat the room for at least 6 hours to heat the walls and spaces behind the walls. Bed bugs start dying at 118 degrees but the eggs need at least 125 degrees to kill them. I will also say that if you have them in your bedroom, you have them in your living room or anywhere else you spend a lot of time. For a heat treatment to work, you need to heat the ENTIRE house. I worked in the Pest Management industry for a decade and did hundreds of heat treatments for Bed Bugs.
Whoa no need to be a frenzy. This will work, especially if it's a controlled environment, by closing all incoming air. It may take 6 hours but that's fine. Immediately upon completion you must be prepared to continue heat treatment on other parts of the dwelling.
This is not exactly true, I too work in Bed bug extermination and for smaller, localized infestations you can use the more powerful 7500W heaters, i usually let the heater run 12-14 hours once the max temp of 140 is reached. This will usually work for like a single bed room. Heating an entire house is the nuclear option, it will work as well, but also put a big dent in the clients wallet, and we dont get those very often, we get about one per year or two.
I appreciate your experience in pest control. But you seem to be addressing a long-standing infestation only. Bedbugs can absolutely be restricted to only one room if quickly found. I have three different friends who brought home bed bugs over the years. For each of them, the problem was isolated to their room, specifically, to their bed. One got rid of her bed, another heat-washed all her clothing as well as treating her bed, and the last one chemically treated her bed only. In all three cases, the problem was eliminated without involving the rest of the house. Bedbugs are scary enough without absolute statement predictions that may not be true in all cases.
Thanks for being so helpful. My only concern is that you stated that one can use a propane tank in the room to compensate and build the heat up to 120 or 140 F. Tanks exposed to temperatures above 120-130°F (49-54°C) for extended periods can become dangerous and explode.
On its highest setting, I used to tell my clients to take their bedding and clothes to a laundromat and run it through an industrial dryer which can hit a higher temperature.
I don't know if that'll work - I saw a professional company do this in hotel rooms and they had a huge diesel generator on a trailer, cables and heaters all over the place. I'm sure if you could use space heaters that's what they would've done.
Well, in reality they'll just move somewhere safe... Hide in the walls and floorboards.... You need to superheat it to get everywhere. They use sensors and stuff to make sure they don't have any cold spots.

My problem is I never see the bugs. Last time the exterminator came and said we didnt need extermination, but we had them do it twice, nothing changed. still never saw one bug. when I did a bug bomb was the first time I saw them.Then I was going from one room to the next for 2 days then back and all of a sudden they just disappeared. I think it was the bombs. That was 5 years ago and they are back. they attacked me with 16 bites. I have never had anymore than two. My girlfriend would see hers and set them on fire and she never got bit. I just ordered a special flashlight so hopefully I can see them and I have vicks vaporub all over my body because I dont think they like the smell.
Putting a propane heater in a sealed room, what can possibly go wrong? Could it be that it will burn all the oxygen, then the fire goes out so it only releases propane. However we have another space heater with heated coils in the same room that is now filling with propane. Would that cause a fire/explosion? Naaaaaaaaaah.....
You need special equipment to reach those temperatures…. Personal heaters are not safe reaching those temperatures, they will over heat and malfunction or worse…. This is not good advice. Sounds like he’s just making it up. Please don’t do this.
Good for you. So it worked. May I ask how long did it take before you could go back into your house? I know my house gets up to at least 100 degrees, probably more because the thermostate wasnt working right the other day and I woke up to 100 degrees.

I can see the hustle 💰😂
Thank you for the tip I will use this :)
I could easily remake this video only 3 minutes in length containing the same info verbatim
Perfect, you want to have a cookie now?
@lienbijs1205 yeah sure.
Probably took you two entire minutes to say that.
yes it does
will the dryer kill bed bugs?
yes
On its highest setting, I used to tell my clients to take their bedding and clothes to a laundromat and run it through an industrial dryer which can hit a higher temperature.
Yes, bring the dryer into the bedroom . . .
I don't know if that'll work - I saw a professional company do this in hotel rooms and they had a huge diesel generator on a trailer, cables and heaters all over the place. I'm sure if you could use space heaters that's what they would've done.

Spray steam into the crevices and stuff too.
True, but they're heater a far larger area.
Wasting my time
Heater work for mites and insects few heater will kill them them 🙏 i will use 4 heater big heater 🙏
Maybe the 50s but it's central now
I will use towels by the door 🚪
Yeaaa I legit pick em up and put em on the stove like a stage light the fight and watch him instantly perish

New heater today won't work they shut off at certain temps. may if you get an old space heater from the 70's

Yeah it might kill the bedbugs if the whole building burns down😅. You can use the steam setting on an iron to get all the crevices in a mattress tho
A space heater? Oh please.
I was able to get my room to 125 with gas heaters. It doesn't matter what you use. It matters temp. For the naysayers this is simple as 123. Duh
Good for you. So it worked. May I ask how long did it take before you could go back into your house? I know my house gets up to at least 100 degrees, probably more because the thermostate wasnt working right the other day and I woke up to 100 degrees.
Here's the actual ( perfect ) answer: ...Psalm 1:1-150:6; Proverbs 1:1-31:31; Ecclesiastes 1:1-12:14; Zephaniah 1:1-3:20; Malachi 1:1-4:6 / King James Bible ONLY! ...Amen.
