Ranger Bed Bug Heater | 100% to Reach Lethal Temperature | Used by Professionals and Homeowners | Effective Against Moths, Carpet Beetles and Lice.

Very easy to assemble, sturdy and is a great size - my large travel bag fits in as is. Heats up relatively quickly and throughout unit but does get very hot so I check on the temp periodically. Mine typically gets to 145/150 - I checked the temp with 2 independent thermometers and it reads pretty true. Photo is when taken out of the bag and gone to room temp - can see the max temp at 151 and when I checked with my 2 thermometers during the heating cycle, they concurred. The temp probe screen goes blank when hot tho in the unit so can only see the max temp reached when out of the bag and cooled so I also include my 2 independent thermometers in the unit when using so I know temp in real time. Great to have this to use when returning from trips. I tried out with handbags, shoes and belts as well as clothes, cushions, bedding etc - all were fine. I accidentally kept my small flashlight in the bag tho and it became misshapen and no longer works. I since bought a second one so we can heat treat travel bags/accessories for 2 people concurrently.

I live in a multi-unit high rise building in Ontario, Canada, and I bought the ThermalStrike Ranger in March 2021. In 2017 the person in the unit next to me brought home bed bugs. She told no-one and did nothing about them, and they spread out and infested everyone on the floor. In Ontario landlords are responsible for pest control, and my landlord did his best but without her co-operation, the bed bugs kept coming back. The provincial Public Health doesn't consider bed bugs to be a health hazard, so there was no help from there. I had bought a larger heating unit from another company. It killed bed bugs but it heated up the apartment to 97°F during the heat wave. Since I was baking things non-stop for two weeks, that was extremely stressful. Then I saw the ThermalStrike Ranger. The bed bugs had come in wave after wave from 2017 to 2021. I had run out of belongings and health. I was also stressed from the heat the other bed bug device caused. So I spent some of my remaining savings on the Ranger. I seem to have bad luck with appliances. I had been running the Ranger day and night when I noticed a problem. I emailed ThermalStrike and Mike wrote back. He explained what he thought was going on. We talked back and forth a bit and he demonstrated his superb customer service skills, and made it right. Then another facet of the system (not the heat box) went funky, and Mike made that right too. It's been plain sailing since. Since March I have used the Ranger nearly every day to kill off bed bugs (the bed bug loving neighbour finally moved out), then fleas, and now I'm heating my dry goods to combat weevils. The Ranger is extremely convenient to use, reaches the desired temperatures, and doesn't heat up the apartment. That takes a big load off my mind. I like that the thermometer uses a wired probe. There's no disconnection between the thermometer and the display as can happen with a wireless thermometer. There is a tiny gap in the zippered top to allow the wire through, but nothing has ever crawled out that gap. In the early days I was concerned about that so I filled the gap with Mortite caulk; it wasn't necessary. For hotter days when I have both the A/C and a fan going, I've found it helpful to place the Ranger in a large plastic bag to keep the breeze from the fan from cooling down the unit’s exterior. I don't recommend closing it at the top as water vapor will escape from whatever you're heating, and condense if it can't escape. The Ranger doesn't use too much electricity, unlike the behemoth I was using before (and occasionally still use for larger items), so it doesn't trip the breaker to have both the A/C and the Ranger going at the same time. What a relief! The only improvement I would suggest to Mike is regarding the Velcro straps that hold the pegs inside the corner sleeves. They're a tad too short. I tried stretching the sides of the Ranger to accommodate the length of the pegs, but it didn't work. The pegs are a little too long for the Velcro straps. I think an additional ½” of hook-strap would suffice. To be honest, after several months of using the Ranger, the sides seem to have softened up enough that now I can stretch them up enough to make the hooks catch properly, but for awhile that wasn't the case. All in all, having the Ranger has made my life in a multi-residential building, with other people's bugs, a lot less stressful. Mike gives the Ranger a two-year warranty; he has stood by his product and has provided some of the best customer service I have ever experienced. Thank-you, Mike.

I ordered the ThermalStrike Ranger on 2/2/25, received it on 2/5/25, and upon returning from a trip used it for the first time on 2/19/25. It was easy to set up and use, and the manual is clear and concise. I bought the unit because I was originally concerned about bed bugs (we travel frequently) but it turns out the ThermalStrike unit is also effective against almost all other pests, e.g. carpet beetles, carpet beetle larvae, and carpet beetle eggs. Curious about how to best use the unit, I called ThermalStrike customer service and spoke to Mike, who as it turned out, started the company. To say it was a pleasure speaking with him is an understatement! He took a lot of time explaining the science behind the unit and how/why it works. Long story short, it is effective against almost all pests and their eggs. I cannot say enough positive things about ThermalStrike's customer service and owner Mike Lindsey. He will take extra time to talk with you about your problem, explain what needs to be done, and will do so in a friendly and professional manner; in short, I remain grateful for the assistance. This product is easy to use: read the brief manual, then quick assembly (a couple of minutes), plug and play after that. One plug, no need to plug into two different outlets on different breakers like one of the (well reviewed) competitors. Thermal Strike is much simpler to use in my opinion. According to Mr. Lindsey, the ThermalStrike unit can stretch/contort around a 29 inch suitcase, but I have not tried this yet. Smaller bags (carry-on size luggage, handbags) go in the unit without any difficulties at all. Mike explained to me that various electronics companies have certified that their products are safe up to 140 degrees, so it's OK to put your electronics in the unit - just monitor the unit and when temperature reaches 140 you can be confident that the inside of the laptop got to the magic number of 120 degrees (which kills just about anything in a short period of time), and you can (and should) stop the unit so it doesn't overheat electronics beyond their recommended max of 140 degrees. If you have questions, call customer service and ask for Mike, I'm sure you will have the same courteous and informative discussion that I had. He was generous with his time and even explained why and under what circumstances he founded the company. Very Highly Recommended! So much so, that I bought a second unit for my daughter-in-law's home. You won't be disappointed, and the peace of mind is valuable in and of itself.

It worked great. Thermostat needed to be replaced. Instruction book says that can happen. It was shipped out immediately. Some items should be placed carefully so as not to get warped out of shape, don't just throw it in any which way like I did. Also the heat can sometimes create a small amount of humidity depending on what you are heating, remove items when finished to air a bit. Nothing was damaged by that tiny bit of humidity, however.

Es perfecto, el programa de 4h es el mínimo para asegurar que todo queda desinfectado

The seller/company behind this heater are great, honest people. They are very kind and professional, they reduced the CAD price after I purchased it and then refunded me back the difference. The bag gave me a lot of reassurance after a long battle with the tiny things that we shall not name. I used it several days in a row, heat treating all of my belongings in batches. The bag did a stand up job and got everything to the temperature I needed it. It is very simple to use and very simple to pack up after. Nothing was damaged. I recently used it to heat treat a cat scratching post I ordered online as a preventative measure. I just set up the bag and threw the scratching post inside, turned it on for a couple hours and then it was taken care of and my worry was gone. I don't think it should be your front line defence if you're dealing with a problem, but it's a complimentary addition to other treatments and a great preventative measure if you travel a lot or order a lot of stuff online.

Bought after a bed bug scare from a nasty holiday rental. It definitely kills all kinds of creepy crawlies from flies to beetles, the evidence is right there in the tray at the bottom of the bag. Couple of things to note: 1) the black plastic control unit gets VERY hot during operation which may or may not be normal! 2) the poles are difficult to place/remove and at least one does not fully fit, it's at the end of the bag but sticks out the top and no amount of wrangling makes it fit. Am super happy to have purchased this device though. Gives peace of mind and would recommend to anyone who travels or shares accommodation with someone who does. I run it on 8 hour cycles but check it periodically and the temperature consistently reaches or exceeds 145 degrees. If you've been unfortunate enough to bring home bugs and are washing bedding every day to eradicate, this is a possible alternative.

It came used and I ordered the new one! There are three insects inside!!!

Amazing product peace of mind after struggling
