How much heat would be necessary to damage my iMac?

I have a bedbug problem in my building and heating up the apartment is the best way to kill them.

I didn't see anything about storage temp in the specs, only operating.

I would assume it is the same as or similar to the storage temperature for the Mac I provided as an example above.

I did find the specs for the 2011 iMac: iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011) - Technical Specifications

"Operating temperature: 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)

Storage temperature: -4° to 116° F (-20° to 47° C)"

Every Mac has specifications that include operating and storage temperatures. You do not say exactly what model/year computer you have to here is an example from the Macbook Pro 13 inch computer:

MacBook Pro 13-inch - Tech Specs - Apple

"Operating temperature:

50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)

Storage temperature:

−13° to 113° F (−25° to 45° C)"

Look up the specs for your computer.
