When a friend came back from vacation and had been bitten by bedbugs while in a hotel (an EXPENSIVE hotel, at that!) She was worried about bringing them home and infesting her house, so she called an exterminator to ask how to prevent any "hitchhikers" from getting in to her house.
He said that the best way to kill them is with heat. He told her to put all the clothes in the dryer and tumble them with heat for half an hour, and to put her open suitcase and any clothes that can't go in the dryer in the car (not in the trunk) and leave it sitting in the sun with the windows up. (This was in the fall when it was still pretty hot.) He said the heat would kill any bedbugs in the cracks and crevices of the suitcase.
Just thought I'd pass the info on. Not that it would do any good in the east this week!
