I have not been involved. But seems to me one could develop an insulated cover for the heads. I suppose it might depend on how long it's kept at temperature. But even if a long time a combination of insulation and something like ice or those gel packs to absorb heat might work.

Bedbug exterminator has been hired. The process is to isolate and heat the rooms (2 per day) to about 175 degrees F with special heaters and therefore cook the bugs and their eggs. The property is sprinklered. Sprinkler contractor has been hired to drain the system, remove and plug heads in 2 rooms and refill. End of day, restore the system. Repeat process 17 times. Has anybody dealt with this? Is there a better way. Is there a cheaper way? C.
