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 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.
• 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 the lining of
the ZappBug Room.
THE ZAPPBUG ROOM
• 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 signicantly 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 Room.
• 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
Room may not reach bed bug killing temperatures.
• Always monitor the temperature inside the ZappBug Room with the
thermometer and thermometer probe provided.
• Do not place the ZappBug Room directly on cold oors such as
concrete. Always place the ZappBug Room on surfaces at or above 70°F.
