In Reply to: Oven to bake bed bugs? posted by George Marsh on October 11, 2013 at 05:49:31:
Speaking from experience.
HEAT is the only way to get rid of them.
An oven is a great idea. I would build a trailer with a propane fired forced air furnace. Mount the furnace outside with duct work into the heated space. Run a cord to the blower or mount a generator if it needs to be self contained.
However you would need to heat the building to kill them all. If your going to heat the room you might as well leave the stuff in place. If you don't heat the building your going to re infest the belongings.
I was involved in a 12 unit apartment building built in the 70's. NEVER had a bed bug problem until the demographics changed. Next thing you know tenants are all bit up, bitching, and threatening to sue.
SOOO we try multiple chemicals. No good. Upon advice of about the 3rd "professional" we stripped all the carpet out and tiled. Encased beds in plastic cases. Tented the building. Heated up the entire building to 150 degrees for 24 hours.
Made the tenants to sign lawyer generated document that they are responsible for future problems as they are bringing them in.
Got the building certified as bug free by an independent inspector . Got the tenants a copy of this and called it a day.
No complaints for about 6 months. Then back with a vengeance. Seems they make trips south of the border, have company from down south visiting and bring them back in.
