[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I put library books in the freezer for 1-2 weeks before I read them, for this exact reason. If you have a clothes dryer that has a shelf (so books won't tumble around) you could also do that (high heat, 30-40 mins).[/quote] I'm intrigued by the dryer idea and bet it would indeed kill bugs, but isn't that a fire risk? I believe studies have shown that home freezers don't reach low enough temperatures to kill all life stages of bedbugs.[/quote] OP here -- I put one of my daughter's books in the dryer in her[b] backpack, and it was somewhat damaged by the heat. So I don't know if dryers are really great for books. But I am intrigued by the possibilities of a low-heat oven.[/quote][/b] Ooooooh. I'm the most bedbug-phobic person you'll ever meet (having had the pleasure a few years ago), but THAT sounds like a fire risk to me. [/quote]
