Bed Bugs From Twitter

"This f'ing sucks. I'm am dealing with a major bed bug crisis. The exterminator thinks I got them from my next door neighbors"

I saw a program on the Animal Planet last night called Infestations. One of which was bed bugs at a summer camp in Mass. They started having problems towards the end of summer and by the time the season was over the bugs had spread to all 15 buildings. They were advised by the exterminator to get rid of all the bedding and upholstered furniture in all the buildings, they burned everything. Then the exterminator sprayed all the buildings and with winter coming on thought the cold would kill any the spray did not get.
The next summer a couple of weeks before the camp was to open they heard of a dog that had been trained to locate bed bugs. The dog was brought in and located more bed bugs in all 15 buildings again. They then found out about something being done in Calif., Where buildings were being heated to greater than 120 degrees thus killing the bed bugs. They rented a very large propane heating unit, baked the cabins, brought in the dog again, no bed bugs.
Don’t think I’d try it in a dwelling where someone was living with all their possessions, but sounded interesting. I’d definitely have a professional do it.
