What Are The Best Ways to Get Rid of Bed Bugs?

One of the most reliable methods to eliminate bed bugs from clothing is through heat treatment. Bed bugs can't withstand high temperatures. A study from the University of Florida found that a mere 20 minutes of exposure to temperatures around 45°C (113°F) can kill these pests. Therefore, washing your clothing in hot water and drying them on the highest heat setting can effectively exterminate these pests.
