Yup. Enough heat will kill the seads, or is there any way you can
germinate and kill the resulting plants before using the compost?

I find germinate and kill to be very effective. It is less effective on
some annuals which have seeds programmed to sprout several years apart
(eg goathead aka puncturevine), but nothing else seems to work any
better. So, germinate and kill, germinate and kill, germinate...
