Additional Info

When returning home from camp (or a hotel, boarding school, university residence, etc.) it is advisable to take the following precautions with bedding and clothing to prevent bed bugs from being inadvertently transferred. This same process is also effective in dealing with lice.

• Immediately upon returning home, keep the clothes and bedding outside or in a garage until they can be washed.  Do not leave clothes, bedding, or bags where bugs could crawl out and escape before treating.
• Wash clothes and bedding in warm or hot water immediately and then place them in a hot dryer for at least 30 minutes.

*It is noted that you can try and treat luggage and bags by placing them in a chest freezer at -19 degrees C or lower for 4 days and start this timing after the luggage has cooled to -19 degrees.  However, this method has not always been proven to be effective.
