Hints & Tips
BED BUGS
• Researchers have found that bed bugs at all life stages die quickly at
temperatures at or above 120
O
F.
• Bed bug eggs are nearly translucent and incredibly difcult 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. For pictures of bed bugs and
bed bug eggs, please visit zappbug.com/bed-bug-pictures
• 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 atten their bodies and slip into tiny cracks.
• Bed bugs are unable to climb smooth, nonporous surfaces like those lining
the ZappBug Room
TM
.
• Bed Bugs suffer from thermal shock and are immediately unable to
move at temperatures above 150
O
F.

THE ZAPPBUG ROOM
TM
• Think about heat treating your belongings in the same way that you
think of drying clothes in the sun. If your belongings are densely packed
together, it will take signicantly more time for them to reach bed bug
killing temperatures. Always use provided ventilation blocks and/or net to
ensure maximum air circulation around your belongings.
• Bed bugs suffer from thermal shock and cannot escape through the
heater duct while the heater is on. Make sure to turn the heater on before
placing potentially infested items inside the ZappBug Room
TM
.
• Only use indoors with an ambient room temperature above 70
O
F. The
heater works by adding heat to the air from the room in which it is
located. If the ambient temperature is below 70
O
F, the ZappBug Room
TM
may not reach bed bug killing temperatures.
• Always monitor temperature inside the ZappBug Room
TM
with a
thermometer. (Wireless thermometer and 3 probes included.)
• Do not place the ZappBug Room
TM
directly on cold oors such as
concrete. Always place the ZappBug Room on surfaces at room
temperature (above 70
O
F).
