About this item

  • [Lethal Heating System] ThermalStrike uses a patented six-sided heating system that surrounds and destroys bed bugs, carpet beetles, moths, and other insects – including eggs, larvae, and adults. Heat in excess of 120 degrees penetrates deep into cracks and small openings.
  • [Commercial Grade Construction] A fully sealed inner liner constructed of hospital grade heating pad material traps the bugs inside the unit. Additional layers of insulation keeps the heat inside the Ranger to minimize electrical power draw while seven thermostats continually monitor and control the heating system.
  • [Easy to Load and Operate] Place luggage directly into the unit or load the Ranger like a laundry hamper. Heat comes from all sides and eliminates cold spots, so there is no moving air, motors, or moving parts which can break down. Items being treated can touch the interior walls.
  • [Ongoing Support] ThermalStrike Ranger has a one-year warranty, ongoing customer service, and quality materials and workmanship
  • [Everything You Need] Includes a built-in timer (two, four, and eight hour cycles) which turns the unit off and a thermometer which clips onto the front of the unit and shows the current and maximum temperature reached during a heat treatment. Based on a national average, a four-hour heating cycle costs less than 16 cents.

Product Description

ThermalStrike Logo Cover Image Bed Bug Protection
Features

About the Ranger

Heat is a highly effective way to destroy bedbugs and other pests as it penetrates deep into cracks and crevasses where bugs can hide from inspection and pesticides. The ThermalStrike Ranger uses Six-Sided Heat Technology where all six walls are regulated at 155 F°. This allows the Ranger to be loaded just like a hamper – without needing to place items on blocks or trying to balance air flow. As heat is applied over all surfaces our patented heating system surrounds items and gently brings them up to temperature (rather than rather than a direct jet of extreme heat blowing in one location).

Safety has always been at the forefront of design decisions and the ThermalStrike Ranger uses seven thermostats throughout the system to provide temperature regulation and safety. ​In addition, a built-in timer automatically shuts the unit off after a heat-cycle. The Ranger is certified to CE standards as a heating appliance (CE Certification for Electrical Appliances / LVD Directive - Ankel Testing Laboratories Report #ANL15032001-L 2016).

Rugged, Portable and Collapsible Design

The Ranger is a compact and hardworking unit and has been an industry favorite since its launch in 2013. When expanded, the Ranger easily fits carry-on and most full-sized suitcases up to 28 inches with room to spare. When not in use the Ranger folds down to the size of a briefcase using built-in straps and can be stored in a piece of carry-on luggage.

Additional Features:

  • PVC enclosure area is sealed, welded construction to prevent escape during treatment.
  • Insulated outer shell of high durability 420D nylon with industrial zippers for years of use.
  • Six-sided heating to ensure there are not hot spots that could damage the contents or cold spots that could allow the bugs to hide.
  • Includes a corded thermometer showing maximum treatment temperature and 2-4-8 hour treatment timer
  • Hassle-Free and Versatile. The Ranger is easy to load. No rearranging the contents to ensure air flow, unlike fan-forced heating systems.

Eliminates All Types of Bugs

Tech

Used by Pros

Destroys Bedbugs, Beetles, Lice and Moths

ThermalStrike Ranger is a reliable way to eliminate bedbugs and other pests in all life-cycle stages – eggs, nymphs, and adults using only heat.

Six-Sided Heating Surrounds Bugs From All Sides

Heat surrounds the bed bugs from all sides making it impossible to escape. Our uniform heat delivery system works without the complexity of blowers and allows for safer and effective treatment.

Used by Professional Exterminators to Protect Their Own Home

When you're dealing with bed bugs on a daily basis - you can't take chances. Ranger is the choice for many pest management professionals for its durability, effectiveness, and ease-of-use.

Eliminate Travel Stress In A Zip

Heat is recognized as the ultimate solution for bed bug eradication. A key factor is the ability for heat to penetrate into hiding places that cannot be visually inspected or reached by chemicals. Industry research has shown that lethal temperatures for eliminating bed bugs and the eggs requires exposure to temperatures ranging from 117°F to 122°F. The Thermalstrike Ranger can safely heat up to 160°F to surround the contents with uniform heat which is able to permeate to the core, yet is safe to touch and will not damage the contents.

Heats From All Sides

FAQs
What Can Be Treated
  • Suitcases, Backpacks, and Purses
  • Bedding and Pillows
  • Garbage Bags and Storage Bins
  • Books and Papers
  • Clock Radios, CD's, and most Electronics
  • Miscellaneous Drawer Items

Understanding Heat Treatment

The thermal death point where bugs die is determined by temperature and exposure time. For example, bed bugs will die at 113°F when exposed for 90 minutes – or nearly instantly at 120°F.

During a heating cycle, the core temperature typically rises slowly at first and then ramps up as heat converges from all sides. As with all heat systems, the heavier and denser the load, the longer the process takes and a fully loaded system (such as a large garbage bag of clothes) may take 4-5 hours.

  • Although bed bugs and other insects will die at lower temperatures, we recommended exposure to 120°F for 30 minutes at the core to ensure the lethal temperature for bed bugs has been reached.

How to Use the ThermalStrike Ranger

One of the biggest advantages of the Ranger is the ease of use. Once setup you are free to load the Ranger wall-to-wall with a variety of items. The walls of the Ranger safely heat up to 155°F to surround the contents with uniform heat which is able to permeate to the core, yet is safe to touch and will not damage the contents.

Suitcases: The Ranger can treat hard and soft-sided suitcases up to 28 inches tall. If loading a suitcase into the unit, the suitcase can simply be lifted into the Ranger. Alternatively, if the suitcase is heavy, the Ranger may be placed on its side while sliding the suitcase into the unit, then return the Ranger to its standing position. With a few exceptions items (medicines, waxy cosmetics and deodorant) may be left inside the suitcase.

Garbage Bags and Storage Bins: When dealing with an infestation, bagged items can be placed directly inside the Ranger without issue. We also recommend storage bins for treating small items.

Bedroom Linens & Items: When treating a bedroom for bed bugs, the Ranger may be placed in the room and loaded much the same way as a hamper. If a dryer is available with a hot or sanitizing cycle, sheets and light linens can be done there, but extreme care should be exercised when moving these items out of the bedroom. Heavy blankets and bedding which can't be sufficiently heated in the dryer, which may include feather duvets, pillows, stuffed animals, etc., should be loaded into the Ranger.

Books and Papers: These items may be stacked inside the Ranger without concern. Note that dense items (such as reams of papers, large books, or files) can take longer to treat. Some spacing between books can reduce the treatment time.

Other Items: People often find out about us after they've thrown out hundreds of dollars worth of items that could have been saved. We have treated leather jackets, books, dry clean only fabrics, shoes, small electronics, etc.

Advanced Tech

Prevents the Spread of Bugs

The last thing you want is to spread the bugs around the house. The Ranger can be setup in the bedroom for immediate treatment of sheets and bedding. Just load it like a hamper without the challenge of blocks or concerns.

Heat treated bedding is the first step towards getting a good night sleep.

Treats Toys & Difficult Items

From favorite stuffed animals to bins of Legos the Ranger can easily be used to treat items that are nearly impossible to clean or can't be placed in the dryer.

ThermalStrike Technology

  • Uses 100% of the internal space putting it on par with larger systems that require airflow around all sides
  • Heavily insulated to keep the heat in and with quiet operation, the Ranger uses a standard outlet and fraction of the power of other units.
  • Upright design creates a small footprint and enables regular operation in small rooms and apartments.

IT WORKS 110% effective!
Finally I have a weapon to murder-kill these nasty bugs that are almost impossible to rid yourself from! They can be as small as a spec of pepper and they ley eggs and multiply into hives of the thousands... I got ambushed by them badly... one came home with me someway? and they populated my home my car and my van! Now I have weapon to use that works and I have Battle plan to rid them forever! I can’t say enough how this item is a lifesaver I’m not one to have to go to the dryers or laundry mat and so now I’m able to isolate items and put them in this cooker and cook everything I took a camera bag that was in the trunk of my car I cleared it out took the camera out put everything in bags and then took the camera bag and strap and manuals put it in this product to cook ...I could visually find no bugs before putting into the heater and after cooking in the cooker as I Call it , I found so many bugs even tiny little bugs that you can barely see ...I’m going to buy another one of these cookers ...you have to cook your stuff and then you have to Bagget and seal it you have to isolate everything and you have to cook everything that you can; somethings like pillows you can take to the wash house and put it in the dryer and blankets too as well but then I think it’s a good idea to come home and stick them in this cooker as well, and it appears this product also kills the eggs... fantastic!The only way to kill these bugs is to cook them in this product or steam them or freeze them... I think this product is the best way to do this you have to have a systematic approach and you have to be thorough because of these bugs once you get an infestation they get into everything there in both of my vehicles and they will hibernate for a year; so if you have these bags plan to be cooking in these bags and things for a year to finally exterminate them from your environment if you go camping or if you go on a traveling trip everything that you own you need to cook in this cooker before it comes Into your home !These bugs have a psychological affect on people so do you research on the Internet a lot of the stuff on the Internet is not true but I can tell you one thing this product works and I went with this product over the ones that use air blowing because I know the way this is structured it’s more reliable and it will heat up and it will work and that’s exactly what it did for me I am 110% satisfied happy customer !!!This is the one secret weapon that you need to eradicate these bugs from your life forever and on a continuous basis to make sure they don’t ever get to you again...! Cook Them ! And their eggs too!

It is really nice it is not fan based heat, but radiant from all sides (kind of like a seat heater in a car, but really powerful). Timer works fine.

An odd thing is the thermometer provided has 2 batteries, and no switch (that I could find anyway). The batteries have to be removed between uses.

It packs down small for between uses.

BUT A WARNING: It shrinks CROCS shoes - had a couple pairs in the shoe bag that went through the heater, and they came out at least a size smaller. DO NOT RUN CROCS THROUGH IT!

After sleeping in a bedbug-infested hotel room at the beginning of August 2023, I was freaking out about bringing them home. I found a live one on the bed in the morning and was covered in bites. After posting on the subreddit r/bedbugs, I received a comment advising me to look into a product like this. I read reviews and one had said something similar to my title– if you're thinking about buying this, just do it. So I did. And boy am I glad I listened. Using this and my dryer, I was able to completely prevent a bedbug infestation once I arrived home.

Coupled with this, I also purchased bluetooth-enabled thermometers that I put inside of backpacks/purse/bags of clothes/suitcases that I treated inside the heat bag. They were much easier to use than the thermometer provided. On the thermometer's app, I was able to set an alert for when the temperature hit 125 degrees and measure for how long that temperature was sustained. This system of products allowed me to be super thorough in ensuring whatever I could've brought home was dead.

The setup was super simple. I heat-treated everything in my car that was traveling with me (which was a lot seeing as I was in the midst of moving across the country). It fit my carry-on suitcase perfectly. I also packed all of my loose items into black trash bags and put those directly inside of the heat bag with fantastic results. I do wish that I could pick a custom amount of time for it to be on, as the 2, 4 and 8hr timer settings were a bit limiting. Overall though, I would recommend this product to ANYONE with a current or potential future infestation. It beats bagging up belongings for 1+ years by far. It also provided great peace of mind. Like I said, I was able to avoid bringing a bedbug infestation into my new home which is in large part thanks to this heat bag!

gets hot. i put in two pair of my tenna shoes and the rubber came unglued from sole. my wife put in two pair and they were fine. go figure. the still fit. im sure it will get hot enough to kill bugs if you watch thermometer and leave it long enough. big loads of clothes take a long time other things heat quickly. for clothes and blankets put thermometer probe in middle of load not next to outside near heating elements or it will show hot and be cooler in middle. i called mike from customer service to ask him several questions and he said most problems people had were because they were in a hurry and did not put 4 support rods in corners. it is insulated and gets hot on inside but only a little warm on outside. it does not hear room up much... i was afraid to put all my shoes in it so i put them in black plastic bags on the hood of my truck on a hot summer day. they got pretty hot. it arrived in two days and glad because i had exterminator deadline and had to process a lot of stuff first. we also ran a lot of clothes through dryer on high heat and if we thought there were actually bed bugs we ran it through the washer on high heat also. it works well just be careful with shoes. it is every thing i was expecting

This product works exactly as described. It has a large capacity and the heat is contained so that it does not heat up the room. It is easy to assemble- my teenage son set it up. It is also very straightforward to use. I appreciate the peace of mind that it provides.

Also, I messaged the seller with a question regarding the warranty and LESS THAN 2 HOURS LATER, I received a response from the Operations Director! Not only did he answer my question, he provided his cellphone contact so that I could contact him directly if I had any more questions!!

I really appreciate his passion for the product and willingness to stand behind it.

I can’t recommend this product enough - especially if you have a short term rental, or if you travel frequently. It really should be in every hotel! Thanks again for making such an incredible product!

I can't recommend this product enough! Since purchasing, I have noticed a significant reduction in bed bugs. Easy to use and very effective. If you live in a apartment building, this is an investment for your sanity. I will continue to use this as precautionary. Thank you to Mike for the excellent customer service!

Easy to use and very useful in killing bugs
Good customer service - they warned me I would need a transformer as it comes from the USA, although this should really have been included in the product description. They also were very helpful answering some follow up questions I had as well. Overall I rate this a good product and a good supplier. My only one small criticism is that the box makes it obvious what it is and this can be a bit embarrassing when your postman drops it off

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.

Worth every penny. Simple to set up, simple to use. Despite living in a building where bedbugs turn up occasionally, this plus my SansBug tent and interceptors for the legs of my bed filled with diatomaceous earth means that they can never get even a toehold in my unit. I can also always be in a ThermalStruck outfit head to toe to ensure I am not a threat to anyone else when I leave my apartment. Still gonna try to move out though. I hate Toronto.

We were worried we had bed bugs and it took several days for pest control to come. Thankfully they didn’t find anything. In the meantime we used this to ensure no creatures (toys, clothes, suitcases etc). Easy to put together and clear instructions. Will take this with us when we travel!
