8. Run Time
Bed bugs die at temperatures of 120
°
F or above in less than two minutes. The
higher the temperature, the less time it takes to kill them. The standard practice
for heat treating is to measure the temperature at one, representative location.
When the temperature at this location reaches 120
°
F and is held at 120
°
F (or
above) for one or more hours, the heat treatment is complete.
Once the remote sensor reaches a
temperature of 120°F or above, run the
ZappBug thermal unit for 60 minutes.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INORMATION:

after heat treatment and cause burns.
