Bedbugs and travel

[ERD50]

Put everything in the oven. Bake for one hour at 140 degrees.

Seriously, what a bummer.

Looks like a clothes dryer or a CO2 environment will get rid of them. CO2 is easy to get or generate (sugar, water and bread yeast will make plenty of the stuff). From wikipedia:

The thermal death point for C. lectularius is high: 45 °C (113 °F), and all stages of life are killed by 7 minutes of exposure to 46 °C (115 °F).[9] Bedbugs apparently cannot survive high concentrations of carbon dioxide for very long;

Heck, in Texas, a garage probably gets that hot....

I know that some pest companies kill them by raising the interior temperature of a home to 140 degrees F. You could probably do that to one room at a time with electric heaters.

The internet is the answer!

Bugs don't freak me out, But I wouldn't like all the extra work and expense that an infestaion would entail.
