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:

this is an idea that has floated in my head since the return of bedbugs was publicized.

"Return of the Bed Bugs" sounds like a horror movie title, doesn't it? Scares the be-jeebers out of me!

Did you see the movie 'Airplane'? I suggest your purse in an ex-large zip bag and yourself in a body condom. :roll:
:-D :-D I don't think they make body condoms my size!
