[QUOTE="Kanga, post: 249675, member: 143"] The University of Sydney Department of Entermology has a great bedbug page, with links to treatment standards and various scientific articles. From my reading it seems heat works best to kill both bedbugs and their eggs. Freezing will also kill bedbugs but takes longer. They are difficult to eradicate. One study looked at steam treatments. It worked in that the jet of stream kills the bedbugs it hits. Problem is some bedbugs and nymphs get displaced by the air currents caused by the process, and scatter around the room. This can also happen with chemical treatments. It just needs a single nymph to escape and the room can be re-infested. Whole room heat treatments have been tried successfully - sealing the room with a heater going continuously. The bedbug body temperature has to be over 45 degrees Celsius before it dies, so you have to get the room really hot and keep it that way until every little nook and cranny is hot. Kills the bedbugs but has also burnt down a few rooms..... [/QUOTE]
