Used furniture bed bug cleaning DIY

a used $300 bed would be a horrible ripoff at $50, what's wrong with you.

why is that a horrible rip off?

Heat is the best way to kill them.

bed frames can almost alwyas be broken down, so break it down and clean out all the knooks and crannies you can. Heat the whole thing to bed bug temperature (google heat treatment bed bug or something)

Because you can get it for free from a skip.

Also, try smoking out the bed bugs.

Seal up a small room with duct tape and drop a bag or two of dry ice in there.

Bugs will died. Heil Hitler.

WHY!?

WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU WANT TO TAKE THAT CHANCE, FUCKING BUY A NEW BED, YOU FUCKING MORON!

I wouldn't take the risk but good old alcohol works. Just fill a spray bottle with isopropyl or heck even cheap ass vodka and spray the shit out of the stuff.

Go to your homedepot or lumberyard or w/e and buy a shitload of 2x4's and make a bed frame for that $50.

This ^^^

End result will be sturdier.

DIY's autist uncle Matthias Wandel made a bitching bed frame from dimensional lumber if I remember the video correctly he showed
four 2x10
and four 2x8

I'm going to have to go with this.

I'll buy just about anything used, but beds and related stuff are not one of them. I want the place where I sleep to be fresh, virgin materials. Not full of somebody else's dead skin and bugs.

Buy a new house*

The local consignment shop in our area puts them in a heated room of sorts for 6 hours then into a sealed bag which they then put in a walk in freezer for 6 months. Never heard one person complain of getting bed bugs from one of their pieces of furniture. That said if there's obvious signs of bed bugs I wouldn't even bother... There's most definitely another deal to be had without those little fuckers crawling all over the place

Don't even take the chance with a used bed/frame. It would be extremely easy to miss a stray bedbug or egg, and they can live up to 400 days without any food. The money you'll save from buying a used bed/frame won't even touch how much you'll end up paying in treatments and the legit psychological effects you'll get if you become infested with bedbugs.

Dude, just run a metal frame with no headboard
They cost like 25$ new

Put a poster: bed Bugs are not allowed

Pest control tech here.

For wooden furniture, inspect thoroughly and spray any nooks or crannies with Sterifab (alcohol).

For upholstered furniture and beds, inspect thoroughly, and spray with Gentrol to kill any unseen eggs.

If you see live adult bed bugs, spotting (feces), or cast off shells on the furniture, just walk away. Tangling with bed bugs is not an easy thing to DIY, and isn't worth it for used furniture.

Can I use that on semites?

Pest tech here also companies always get call backs on one time chem treatments. Heat treatment is most effective. Place In a space that you can raise the temperature to between 135 and 145 degrees Fahrenheit. With a probe check that the internal temperature reaches 135 minimum and maintain those conditions for at least 4 hours after the minimum is reached. In cujunction with chemical treatment I never had a call back
