Hints & Tips

BED BUGS

• 

Researchers have found that bed bugs at 

all life stages 

die quickly at  

 

 

temperatures at or above 

120°F.

• 

Bed bug eggs are nearly translucent and incredibly difficult to detect.   

• 

A best practice is to 

heat treat all items

 that may have been in the vicinity  

 

of bed bugs even if no bed bugs are found.

• 

Bed bugs can survive for up to 

18 months without feeding

.  It is critical that   

 

all potentially infested items are heat treated or, alternatively, sealed and   

 

stored for 18 months.

• 

Bed bugs can flatten their bodies and 

slip into tiny cracks

.

• 

Bed bugs are unable to climb smooth, nonporous surfaces like the lining of   

 

the ZappBug Heater.

THE ZAPPBUG HEATER

• 

Always use provided support blocks and/or net to ensure maximum air 

circulation around your belongings. If your belongings are densely packed 

together it will take significantly more time for them to reach bed bug 

killing temperatures.

• 

Make sure to turn the ZappBug thermal unit on 

before placing potentially 

infested items inside the ZappBug Heater.

• 

Only use indoors with an 

ambient room temperature at or above 70°F

.  The  

 ZappBug thermal unit works by adding heat to the air from the room in 

which it is located.  If the ambient temperature is below 70

°

F, the ZappBug 

Heater may not reach bed bug killing temperatures.

• 

Always 

monitor the temperature

 inside the ZappBug Heater with the    

 

 thermometer and thermometer probe provided.

• 

Do not place the ZappBug Heater directly on cold floors such as 

 

concrete. 

Always place the ZappBug Heater on surfaces at or above 70°F

.
