BED BUGS |
| Placing infested linen/clothing/toys in clothes dryer will kill bed bugs at the 120 degree heat. 4/14/2009 NPR radio http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=103091338 |

"One of the most effective ways to expose bed bugs to high temperatures
for the purpose of eradication is to use steam vapor cleaning. Bed bugs
are not limited to mattress and bedding. They infest the carpets,
curtains, walls and anywhere they can get a foothold. So steam
cleaning the mattress, carpet, curtains and even the walls and other
surfaces will go a long way to permanently removing them. You cannot
leave it at that, however. You will also need to wash all bedding and
any clothes or items which could be infected. Simple vacuuming is also beneficial. Daily vacuuming of the mattress and carpet can (help)remove or limit the threat when combined with heat from steam cleaning or other sources. If you do not have access to steam cleaning, some people have successfully used hairdryers on high heat to kill bed bugs on mattresses and others have used an iron. It is important that the high temperatures are applied suddenly so that the bed bugs do not get the opportunity to scatter and survive. If you feel that heat isn't enough and want an extra sense of certainty in eradicating bed bugs, you can make up a mixture of tea tree oil and water in a spray bottle and lightly mist your mattress and carpet and any other relevant furnishings. This will not be strong enough on its own, however, combined with heat will significantly enhance your chances of success." http://ezinearticles.com/?Is-There-A-Safe-Way-To-Kill-Bed-Bugs-And-Prevent-Them-From-Ever-Returning?&id=549989 |
