How to kill and get rid of bed bug infestations
One of the most effective methods to eradicate bed bug infestations is to freeze all items where they might be living. It only requires a short period at below minus 18°C to kill all bedbugs and their eggs.
Let TITAN kill your bed bugs with -30°C
To really have success you need to get rid of bedbugs from everything at the same time.
With an ArcticStore refrigerated container we can freeze all your belongings, large and small, to minus 30°C. We recommend 24/48 hours with a reasonably full container to ensure -30°C core temperature as many fabrics have a good insulation effect. Thereafter a gradual warming of the container.
For your information and consideration. Most products can be frozen without causing damage excluding products containing fluids.
Apart from where shown we normally freeze to -30°C improving the effect and reducing the time required. You should consider freezing all fabrics including the following household items:
- All types of indoor and outdoor clothing.
- All furniture with fabric content, curtains, mats and carpets
- Modern books and other documents - not antique!
- Bags, shoes and suitcases
- Mattresses, cushions, pillows and all forms of bed linen
- Jewellery, pictures and play toys
- Electronics - not LCD/plasma screens
- Cars and boats - not below anti-freeze rating
To be 100% effective requires core temperature of -18°C or lower for 2-4 days. We freeze to -30°C for 2 days (recommended) followed by a gradual heating to +20°C.
