How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs in Electronics
WouterWhen it comes to treating bedbug infestations, the best solution is to get rid of electronics first. This way, you won’t risk damaging your electronics while killing the bedbugs. Electronics are especially susceptible to damage from heat, dust, and moisture. Moreover, chemicals like insecticide sprays aren’t appropriate for treating bedbugs in electronics. Although chemical-based products are suitable for treating bedbug infestations on carpets and furniture, they can cause serious damage to electronics. Instead, you should consider alternative methods of treatment that are generally safe.
Although it’s rare to see bedbugs in electronics, they can make their way onto them through the fabric of your electronics. Luckily, they don’t usually live in electronics for very long. Often, they simply get in contact with fabrics and provide temporary shelter. However, they will eventually try to find a blood meal.
One way to kill bedbugs in electronics is by using a heater. There are special heaters designed to kill bugs in such electronics. They look like mini-saunas and raise the temperature in an enclosed box. These units are large enough to fit most of your electronics. They’ll keep the bugs out and prevent their reproduction.
While heat isn’t the most effective way to kill bedbugs, it’s still the most effective way to eliminate bed bugs from electronic devices. While temperatures of 122 degrees Fahrenheit are fatal to bedbugs, some electronic items can’t withstand such high temperatures. Fortunately, there are several methods to kill bedbugs in electronics that are safe for you to use.
