You can check, but I think some exterminators heat the room to a hellish
temperature to kill bed bug


I've read that heat is the most effective and it needs to be hot,
temps held for some long period.

Imagine what the heat does to wooden furniture?


Hot water wash and most driers will kill. Extended 115 degrees or higher.
115 takes longer. Over 120 will kill quick.
