Hot washing and high-heat drying can kill bed bugs and eggs on washable items.
Final Thoughts
Bed bugs are difficult pests because they hide well and reproduce quickly. The most effective approach is a combination of heat treatment, deep cleaning, reducing hiding places, and careful monitoring.
If you notice signs of bed bugs, act early. Quick action can prevent a small problem from becoming a larger infestation.
