Using Freezing Conditions to Kill Bed Bugs (.pdf)

Putting infested items in a freezer can kill bed bugs if some particular conditions are met. Freezing causes ice to form inside the bed bug, causing injury or death. Freezing bed bugs is easy to do. All it requires is:

There are some things to know to ensure that freezing is effective and does not cause damage to items.

Most dry household items can be frozen, including:

There are a few items that require caution when attempting to freeze or that should not be frozen. Do not freeze:

You should talk to a Pest Management Professional about treating these items.

Unfortunately, no. It is unlikely that it will be cold enough for long enough to kill bed bugs. Sunlight, humidity, temperature variations during the day increase the risk that bed bugs will survive. DO NOT attempt to freeze your apartment or house by opening the windows and turning off the heat. There is a major risk that structural damage will occur and you will not kill the bed bugs.

Times Leader | Officials: No bedbug infestation at Nanticoke High … – Wilkes Barre Times-Leader

Posted on March 9, 2017 by Pest Controller Click Here For Article

NANTICOKE Officials at the Nanticoke School District say that, despite rumors circulating among parents, there is no bedbug infestation at the high school.

The Times Leader received several tips about a potential infestation at the Greater Nanticoke Area High School.

Officials, however, maintain that only a single bedbug was found inside the building.

Building and Grounds Director Frank Grevera said an insect was found in a classroom on Tuesday. It was taken away, and determined to be a bedbug.

An exterminator came to the school at 5 p.m. Tuesday and sprayed the room. Grevera added that as a precaution, desks and all areas within the room were also sprayed.

When asked if there was an infestation, Grevera replied absolutely not.

We didnt even see one of them from that point, he said. It was not known how the bedbug made it into the school. It could have come from absolutely anybody. We have no idea where it came from.

Grevera stressed that bedbugs have not been reported in any other classrooms in the high school.

Rich Colwell, owner of Colwell Termite & Pest Control in Wilkes-Barre, said the sighting of one bedbug is not reason for concern.

Finding one sporadically and not finding anything else is no reason for concern whatsoever, he said. It could be a reason to start monitoring, but that would be about it.

In a voice note sent to parents Wednesday, superintendent Ronald Grevera cited posts on social media that have caused a lot of havoc and problems at the high school as a result of the incident.

There is no need for concern, and there is no reason for parents to pull kids out of school this afternoon (Wednesday) contrary to many of the text messages and phone calls they may be getting from students, Grevera said in the note.

Bed bugs are wingless and approximately a quarter of an inch long. Their flattened shape allows them to hide in cracks and crevices during the day. Then, during the night they emerge, attracted to our sleeping, warm bodies. They pierce the skin with their straw-like mouthparts to suck out our blood.

Springer Professional Homes Services uses natural pest control a non-toxic solution that eradicates bed bugs using only the exclusive and 100% effective effective RxHeat system.

Because bed bugs in any stage of development cannot survive in temperatures above 113 F, Springers eco pest control system heats a structures interior between 135 and 150 degrees for the relatively short time it takes to exterminate the bugs, including those in tiny crevices.

Springers green, all natural thermal extermination process uses no chemicals whatsoever. Your home or business is safe and ready to re-inhabit between four and 24 hours after treatment. So for bed bugs in Iowa give us a call.

Question: So I had the Orkin Man to my apartment on Saturday and they determined we have bed bugs. I am currently scheduling an appointment to have this problem taken care of. I have followed the preparation sheet but there is no information concerning the clothes in the bedroom. I was told to move everything away from walls and vacuum and to box up any clutter. What do I do with the clothes?? Do they remain in the room? And if so should they be boxed/bagged?? Or do I remove them from the room?

Answer: To reduce the potential for bed bug infested clothes re-infesting the room, it is best if you remove the clothes and wash them all or have them dry cleaned. If washing, be sure to use hot water and high heat in the dryer.

Question: I have bed bugs! I dont believe I have an infestation, and my furniture and apartment have been sprayed multiple times, but I am throwing much of my furniture out anyway, and moving out.

My question is thisI need to wash all of my clothing so that I can take them with me without the risk of bringing the bed bugs. How can I do that? I know they need very hot water. Will a normal wash and dry at a laundromat do? Is there any way to treat (spray, fumigate) the clothes before washing them?

ANSWER: Regular washing and drying of the clothes at high temperatures will be fine, no treatment of clothing is needed.
