The heat treatment though isn't the best option. The house has to get very hot and by that point vinyl starts to melt, along with other plastics in the house.




Plastics don't melt like that? The house doesn't get hot enough for plastic to melt. Bed bugs die off at 120 degrees, so the recommended temperature to kill off bedbugs is 130 degrees.

That's not even as hot as a steam sauna (steam saunas are 160 to 200 degrees), it is actually perfectly safe for you to walk inside that house for quite a long time, to turn off the machines and check the temperature as the heater is running. Plenty of people live in desert climates that reach 130 degrees all the time.

You take out anything that could get damaged or degrades from the house of course, if you wish.

For me I would take out things like alcohol or wine bottles, any expensive face creams, medications, laptops and drugs, certain foods stored at room temperature (though I would rather throw most of it away just to be safe), and disinfect all the bottles and containers with isopropyl alcohol, preferably 90% purity. Actually the laptops I might even heat for at least 10 minutes, because there are spaces between the keyboard where eggs could be hiding. If it's only at 130 for 10 minutes it shouldn't do permanent damage.

Get yourself a gram of glass and stay up for a day attacking those fuckers,one of the reasons I hate to even stay at hostels,in sf some of the more low life hostels have had many an infestation,been like dozens of articles about it in the chronicle,probably in the mission and tenderloin low rent hotels as well

fuck man, I dont think my place is that infested yet. I think its just my bed to be quite honest. Im going to throw away my bed, and buy some poison/DE and just straight go to town on the room. I live in a big house with my elderly grandmother. We only use two rooms in the house.

Wish me luck =/

I know about bed bugs! Don't eat food on your bed and make sure you wash your hair well in the mornings if you have long hair.

DDT = dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane

Its a strong insecticide that was banned a few decades ago. Reason being that it mimics estrogen and thus high exposure can impact human reproductive features. Its highly effective against pretty much anything

I slept in the other room last night while I poisoned my room. Now im all paranoid they are just going to follow me and start infecting the whole house though :sad: If they start taking over the rest of the house things are probably going to get really bad because I live with a borderline whorder. She is almost having a heart attack at the idea of me throwing away an old ass bed.

If the entire place gets infested you will have no choice but to heat-treat the entire house. Once the problem is out of control you can't get rid of them, that's the only way.

Never had any bed bugs, but I do suffer from a silverfish infestation.

I just sucked them up with the vacuum cleaner, thinking this would kill them instantly.
So my vacuum stopped working, and I opened it to check what was the problem... motherfucking silverfish build a whole civilization in there, god damn.

Microwave books, and check battery compartments on electrical devices.

I don't show bedbug bites, but I spent 6 months sobering up and getting my ass straightened out in  a shelter, and my god, everyone in my room was waking up.covered in bites, and bedbug shit under each mattress.

Dude, those fucking literally get in the walls.

I remember one climbing around on this dude, Scales, during breakfast. Later we thoughthink shit was under control, and I was outsidentified with a coffee and a book, and a goddamn bug came trundling out of the binding. Oh yeah, and the males stab their dicks through the females bellies to impregnate them, even though they have functional vaginas.

Pretty big assholes....

I once campred out in a farmers barn and every night I'd lie in bed and these TINGS started crawling onto me and tarted to sting me.

That was so fucked up.

I hope I wont get a bedbug infestation, I hear these fuckers are near impossible to get rid of.

double dose bug bomb the fuckers.

The bugs themselves are also resistant. I've sprayed diatomaceous earth spray that was even advertised as "designated for bed bugs" all over the floors, and they were still crawling over the floors the next day.

I think I remember reading that they also have special sensors that can detect or smell poison long before it becomes toxic to them, so they are able to run away to a safe hiding spot while the bombs are going off.

It's the same way with brown recluse spiders, usually spiders are pretty easy to get rid of, but brown recluse spiders are an exception, because they are so good at evading poison.

Crystal G is spot on. Diatomaceous earth would definitely help a ton. I think if they get directly doused with high proof alcohol that'll desicate them also.

The problem is that they're really rudimentary. If a roach or ant gets poison on itself, it will later clean itself and ingest it. Bedbugs, on the other hand, do not clean thems elves, so the poison must be liquid, or something like the diatomaceous earth that'll slice 'em up.

Yeah, but directly dousing them is so difficult. You could do it for a couple you find here and there, but definitely not for most of them. The alcohol does help kill any eggs that you can't see with the naked eye, however.
