Steam kills bed bugs and eggs the instant it reaches them. Technicians use dry steam, which runs extremely hot but carries very little water, so it can work deep into seams and cushions without soaking the fabric.
Where Steam Shines
- Mattress seams, piping and tufts.
- Couches, recliners and fabric headboards.
- Car seats and children's car seats.
- Pet cushions, window drapes and any bulky fabric item a home dryer cannot fit.
Why a Professional Steamer Matters
Home steamers tend to cool off at the tip or spray too much water. Our technicians run commercial units, move slowly along each seam and always add a second method, because steam leaves no residue to stop bugs that show up later.

Steam in Armona Homes
Steam fits Armona families who want no chemicals on children's beds, and it is a smart step for a used mattress or couch before it comes inside. Commuters along State Route 198 can also ask to have car seats steamed if bugs may have traveled in the vehicle.
How to Get Ready
- Strip beds and run all bedding through a hot wash and dry.
- Clear the floor around beds, couches and recliners.
- Point out any delicate or antique fabrics.
Questions About Steam Treatment
Is steam enough to end the problem?
Rarely. Steam can handle a tiny, new case on one mattress, but bugs in bed frames, wall gaps and other bedrooms need a second treatment.
Will steam damage a car seat or a fabric couch?
Most upholstery handles dry steam with no trouble. Mention leather, vinyl or an heirloom piece so the tech can try a small hidden area before going further.
