it got me thinking if we even had a space heater that would get that high, but a heat gun/hair dryer could get fairly hot to fry them if you can figure out where they are congregating and laying eggs and such. just have to be careful not to set anything on fire or melt it. *oops* :)

Bombs are at best, of very limited value. There are insecticides that you mix with water and spray on.

My son brought bed bugs home from school. (They were detected where he put his school supplies) easily killed. Not that big of a deal.

you got it early before they could lay a lot of eggs. sounds like bobm's infestation has gone on longer so it will take longer to clear if he has a lot of elder generations around...

They get in cracks that the bombs don’t get to.

Bed bugs are spreading like wild fire all around the country these days. Our daughters say that most of the apartment building around are infested with them. We also often see entire apartment and hotels wrapped in plastic for treatment. Imagine the cost of that.Bob I hope you find a solution soon, that has to be miserable.
