Clothes washed & bagged..Will it kill bedbugs?
Question:I'm loosing patience very quickly...One person tells me to put all clothes in the dryer, it will kill the bedbugs. Another says all clothes & bagged, will kill the bedbugs because they starve for air?
I can't think straight after a very stressful time & sleep deprived..Who's right?

Bedding can be sanitized by a 120 °F (49 °C) laundry dryer. Once sanitized, bedding should not be allowed to drape to the floor. An effective way to quarantine a protected bed is to store sanitized sleeping clothes in the bed during the day, and bathing before entering the bed.
my suggestion is if you can part with stuff throw it out...if your dryer gets that hot check manual you can try the dryer...but i would wash first in the machine with bleach..i think that would kill them the best and then use dryer...i think you should just call an exterminator..i hope this helps...i am sorry you have to go through this...what a pain i really hope you get rid of them fast
A lady on one of those court shows tried. She hired someone and it was unsuccessful. Also the bedbugs got to other areas, and in her skin.
get clorox 2 and rubbing alchol damp a cloth an wash your bed that should work
first of all you need to get everything in the room out, through out you matress and box springs and get new, have your carpets professionally cleaned with a STEAM cleaner and let the know what the prob. is too, then take your sheets and blanket to the laundry mat and wash everything in hot water only with bleach or that color safe bleach for colors then use their dryers, they get way hotter than what at home does just because they are useed to dry faster the heat gets hotter. be sure to shake out really well and just for a good measure i would then bag them in those vacuum sealed bags or a good ziplock bag they make htose large ones now but bag them for a week or so to make double sure and if that doesnt work call the exterminator and ask them to come. kepp an eye on your skin for any unusuall bumbs or anything like that since they feed off skin cells and blood. good luck
Bag everything in individual zip loc bags and put in freezer over night - problem will be gone!
