[QUOTE="Kanga, post: 535451, member: 143"] [USER=50859]@Bad Pilgrim[/USER] I've found that all you need to do is put your clothes, sleeping bag, etc [I][B]dry [/B][/I]into a commercial hot air dryer for a cycle (at an autoservicio). If everything is dry there is no problem with things shrinking (e.g. merino). It is the heat that kills the bedbugs, and dry works better than wet. In small towns without an autoservicio you can use a domestic dryer, but do your clothes bit by bit, to ensure the heat gets into every bit of clothing. A domestic machine may not be big enough to do a sleeping bag properly, you might need to augment it with the black plastic bag in the sun, and insecticide. Because I seem to be a magnet for bedbugs, and have such a bad reaction, on Camino I now cover myself in a 40% Deet repellent, before I go to bed. I hate it but I've not been bitten since I started using it. [/QUOTE]
