I live in Phoenix and this post just squashed my entrepreneurial desire to start a bed-bug eradication service.

How am I going to compete with 'oh just turn off your AC for a day in summer and you're good'.

You need to get 113F/45C to kill bed bugs and eggs within 90 minutes. 105F actually sounds too low. But its harder to kill eggs, which you need to get up to 118F. They are resillient and evil creatures.
Yeah. I was going from memory and this was about 5 years ago. Yours sounds more correct.
