Will my furnace get hot enough to kill bed bugs?

Can you heat one room at a time to kill bed bugs?
However, it's a bad idea in general. Bed bugs are adaptable. If they feel heat in one part of the house, they'll just go to another area or deeper into your walls.

How do you permanently get rid of bed bugs with heat?
Steamers produce high enough heat to kill BOTH bed bugs and their eggs. Make sure to use it regularly and often. The trick is to set the heat to at least 160 F and airflow to a minimum. Once you set it up in this fashion, make sure to steam clean the carpet, closet shelves, baseboards, and even window trim.Jul 8, 2020
