Heat treatment is the only sure way to eradicate bedbugs.
A neighbor fumigated five times and they still remained…until heat treatment.
Diatomaceous earth just scatters them, compounding the problem.
- hinkley 3y agoFreezers also work don’t they? Might come a day when a defunct restaurant gets acquired by a pest control company and used to freeze items too expensive or dear to replace. But they’d have to use one truck for pickup and one for drop off to prevent cross contamination.
- beej71 3y ago> Diatomaceous earth just scatters them I'm pretty sure that's not all it does to them. When I had bedbugs in an apartment I was renting, I caulked up all the spaces by the baseboards where they could get in, inspected the bed and wrapped it in a bedbug-proof liner, washed and thoroughly dryered all the linens and pillows, and then spread DE all over. I put lids under the bedposts with DE in them. And I moved the bed away from the wall. That was the end of them. Didn't get another bite.
