Heat will only kill these critters (and head lice too) if you loosely load the dryer and let the clothes get really hot. Once they are all good and hot through and through, let the dryer run atleast another 30 minutes.
Bed bugs can be brought home from new clothes too... Dept stores in NYC were closed due to this... so we just need to be careful no matter where we buy items :wink: |

Sure hope that cure works! and spreads as fast as those little critters do!
"Return of the Bed Bugs" sounds like a horror movie title, doesn't it? Scares the be-jeebers out of me! |
