Battling bed bugs with extreme heat

Updated: Tuesday, October 21 2014, 08:55 PM CDT

Reported by: Donna Kirker Morgan

HARRISBURG, Pa. -- When bed bugs started to spread in the United States 10 years ago there was really nothing very effective at getting rid of the nasty pests.

Exterminators have been working for years to figure out what's best to get rid of the bugs, but including using a non-chemical solution.

Bed bugs don't survive in extreme cold or heat, and that's why if bed bugs are suspected between your sheets, run your bedding through a clothes dryer and high for a full cycle.

Heat has the ability to kill all three stages of bed bugs, but some chemicals don't damage the eggs.

That's why some exterminators are turning to Entotherm. The process can kill bed bugs in four hours with temperatures between 120 and 140 degrees.

The process has been used in bedrooms, hotel rooms and offices.

Normal bed bug treatments take three parts, but the Entotherm is a one-shot deal.

The Entotherm process starts with exterminators sealing off an area and removing anything that may explode or not do well in heat. Sensitive electronics are also covered and drawers are opened to improve airflow, with all clutter moved off the ground.

Winning the bed bug battle at the Cabell County Public Library

HUNTINGTON, West Virginia -

We have all heard the phrase, " Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite."

But it's not just beds where the biting pests like to nest.

Many public facilities are waging a not-so-private war against bed bugs.

Cabell County Library manager Judy Rule said over the past few months her well-studied bed bug staff sealed up six returned books with bed bugs inside. And she then banned those library patrons from borrowing any more books until they can show they will not be returning infested materials in the future.

Cabell County Health Dept Environmentalist Stan Mills said, "Although bed bugs like beds the best, they're tucked into low-rises, high-rises, they are everywhere."

Mills added the biting pests do not carry diseases and crave two things, tight places and human blood.

Rule said to monitor the problem she and her staff have been placing sticky strips in several tight places. And so far they have found two bed bugs.

Mills say bed bugs are likely transferred through transients.

But Rule says none of the library's bed bug books came from a Huntington City Mission patron.
