I have a sofa like this one, sides and arm rest are wood it's hand crafted and mediocre quality, bed bugs are in the sofa, I want to douse everything with very hot water, I have a big balcony I can move the sofa to dry, is that okay? Climate is pretty hot rn and sunny, 300 if I leave it out for a day or two will it be safe and completely dry out? Or is soaking it in 600+ water going to do irreperabale damage
30 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees*
take ivermectin every 3 days for 2 weeks and vacuum
>>2994943Empty one room of the house and put the sofa in there. Open it all up exposing as much surface to the air as possible.Then put a bunch of heaters with a thermostat and ramp up the temperature to 50-60 celsius in the room and maintain it for 24 hours.100% of the bugs and their eggs will be fucking dead by the end. Idk what fabric that sofa has, but normally it should be able to withstand 50-60 celsius.
Can't OP just salt it with diacotimus earth or whatever it's actually called?
>>2994943Wrap in plastic. Seal seams well with tape. Get CO2 tank and fill plastic bag. Let sit long enough to kill occupants.But they will be back if they are into carpeting or other nearby items.
if theyre in the sofa, theyre very likely in other furniture as well as in your walls. get your whole house treated. are you in a townhouse/apartment or a building you share with others? if so, you need to notify them.
>>2994943Congrats on the new roommates! Hope you've learned a valuable lesson from taking furniture from the trash. You now have to get your whole residence treated by an exterminator, sleep with diaceametous earth around your bed and start storing all belongings in plastic bags and freezing them overnight, including clothes and books.
>>2994974>>2994999>>2995016i used a french thing called Enviroscab, claims to kill them on touch, i just ordered some of this diacemous earth, i also cleaned all my clothes and bedsheets and pillows at 70°, i think my bed is safe because i've been sleeping on the sofa a lot, i sleep on the bed and nothing happens now, if they come out they should touch the enviroscab thing, and soon i'll get the diacemetous earth and should hopefully kill them within a few weeks, i live in a small apt so it's just the living room and the bedroom that need to be safe, i'm hopeful for now, i'll be able to spray this diacemtous earth pretty much around the entire house and from what i read in theory should fuck them up pretty well, thanks anons
my plan is simple : always shower hot water + soap before sleeping on bednever sleep on sofa for now i skipped like 2 days and should be like 2 days before i get the diacetmeous earthonce i get diacemetous earth, spray that shit all over the house, then sleep on the sofa, whenever the bugs come out they die on the diacetemous earthsleep on the sofa exclusively for like a couple weeks because theres probably eggs, and that should hopefully be it, i'll spray the earth on the bed anyways just in case, i feel like this problem will last a month at worst, maybe even two i'll keep sleeping on the sofa exclusively for the summer and see
you should pack a couple changes of clothes from closet and a variety of drawers and go stay at a friends house but make sure to not overstay your welcome and stay at a few different friends houses
>>2995054 i live in a small apt so it's just the living room and the bedroom that need to be safe,you need to inform the other tenants in the building, you dum fuck. post pics of bed bug stains
