Effective and versatile

The ZappBug Heater is a commercial quality bed bug killer for heat-treating infested items in a home or business setting. The ZappBug Heater features a collapsible chamber that unfolds to form a heat treatment box, ideal for returning travelers who need to heat their luggage or businesses with limited storage space. ZappBug products are a heat-only method to kill bed bugs and other insects in all life stages – eggs, nymphs, and adults. Our chambers work as stand-alone bed bug heat treatment equipment for luggage and personal items. They can also complement a larger bed bug treatment incorporating diatomaceous earth or a bed bug steamer.

Easy to use bed bug heater system

Place items inside, zip closed, and press "on". Storability and ease of use make the ZappBug Heater an ideal choice for shelters, schools, nursing homes, hospitals, and other settings that frequently struggle with bed bugs. Unfolded, the ZappBug Heater measures 23 inches-by-37.5inches-by-23 inches. It is the perfect size to heat treat shoes, books, papers, clothes, electronics, and other items. It is also an excellent choice for a business or nonprofit to exterminate pests from bags, backpacks, files, cushions, and other items where bed bugs and other insects may hide. Because our chambers utilize convection, it is unnecessary to bag or box awkwardly sized items before treatment.

Peace of mind

Bed bugs have an uncanny ability to adapt to even the newest and most advanced chemical treatments. Heat above 113℉ is one of the few tools that is consistently effective. ZappBug’s programable heaters and wireless thermometer allow you to be certain that items were heated to the appropriate temperature for the desired amount of time.

Best Practices

Airflow is the key to success. Leave at least 2 inches of space around items for hot air to circulate. All items need to be placed on the included blocks and support net to allow airflow around the bottoms, tops, and sides of items.

It is best to place the ZappBug Heater on a carpet, area rug, or blanket during treatment. Hardwood flooring, linoleum, or concrete will absorb heat from the unit during the treatment. Placing the Heater on a carpet, thick blankets, towels, foam pads, or even cardboard will provide the necessary insulation for effective operation during the thermal treatment.

It is best to load the ZappBug Heater more often with small to medium-sized loads. Large loads take longer periods of time to heat the items and are less efficient.

Bed Bug Heater

Thermal Units

The ZappBug Heater includes one 120-volt, 1500-watt thermal unit, which requires an independent 120-volt circuit to operate.

The thermal unit includes an integrated programmable timer. Once the selected time is complete, the unit will shut off.

The thermometer and wireless sensor (included) will monitor the temperature inside items within the chamber. The battery-powered wireless probe sends the temperature reading to the thermometer base station. Once a sustained temperature of 120 degrees Fahrenheit is reached, bed bugs will die within minutes.

When placing items in the ZappBug Heater, it is essential to allow 6-to-12 inches of space between items inside the chamber and the thermal unit. If the vent is blocked, a hazard light and alarm will indicate the unit is beginning to overheat, and the thermal unit will automatically shut down. If the hazard light is on, remove any items blocking airflow from around the thermal unit and allow 20 minutes to cool before restarting the treatment.

ZappBug Bed Bug Killer

Easy Eradication and Prevention

The ZappBug Heater will eliminate current infestations or prevent future problems for those exposed to bed bugs. The ZappBug Heater can kill pests quickly, and reliably.

The ZappBug Heater can be easily transported and within minutes set up to eradicate bed bugs, moths, carpet beetles, and other pests without hazardous sprays, powders, or other harmful products.

The ZappBug Heater is an effective system used by homeless shelters, nursing homes, hospitals, and thrift stores to keep bed bug threats at bay and prevent re-infestations.

Travelers can quickly heat-treat, luggage, clothing, and other items, and rest assured that unwanted pests will not follow them home.

Not for shoes
3 Stars
Not for shoes
Got this especially to treat shoes, which it says it's good for in the description. I'm sure this works to kill bed bugs (heated to 120° in about an hour an a half), but the first time I tried to use it, it ruined several pairs of shoes after only 1 hour. Spending $ for the heater is certainly less expensive than replacing my entire shoe collection, or having them professionally dry cleaned, but it kind of defeats the purpose if I end up having to throw out the shoes anyway... This is probably fine for clothes, luggage, stuffed toys, or wooden/metal items that don't have a chance of melting, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it for treating shoes.Also, the thermometer and remote display require 2 AA batteries, which were annoyingly not included. All my stuff is bagged up and nothing is where it usually is (pretty typical if you're dealing with bed bugs and preparing for exterminators) so finding batteries was impossible; had to turn off the heater to go buy batteries. For the $, I think ZappBug could throw in a couple of AAs.Overall, straightforward to use and heats up fine, just don't trust it with your footwear and make sure you have batteries ahead of time.
