Bed bugs are wimps when it comes to heat. They die at around 118°F (48°C). Your dryer? It usually hits 130°F to 150°F.
That’s a bug barbecue. They don’t stand a chance in hell—or in a hot drum.
But here’s the catch: time matters. A quick 10-minute fluff won't cut it. They need at least 30 minutes on high heat.
The Sneaky Survivors
You might think the heat is the only weapon. Nope. The tumbling action is brutal. It thrashes them around like a washing machine on spin.
Think of it as a miniature earthquake for bugs. Their legs break. Their shells crack. They get dizzy and confused.
But some are crafty. They can hide inside thick seams or folded blankets. Heat penetration is key—not just surface contact.
