Bed bugs are small, reddish-brown insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals. They are about the size of an apple seed and can hide in cracks and crevices during the day, coming out at night to feed.

Common signs of bed bugs include small, red bites on your skin, tiny black or brown spots on your bedding (feces), and finding shed skins or live bugs in your bed or furniture.

Bed bugs spread primarily through travel. They can hitch a ride in luggage, clothing, and used furniture. They move from place to place with people, which is why they are commonly found in hotels, apartments, and dormitories.

To prevent bed bugs when traveling:

• Inspect hotel rooms for signs of bed bugs.

• Keep luggage on a luggage rack away from the bed and walls.

• Store clothing in sealed plastic bags.

• Check your luggage and clothes when you return home.

No, bed bugs can be found in various places such as couches, chairs, baseboards, electrical outlets, and even behind wallpaper. They prefer areas where people spend a lot of time, as it provides easy access to their food source.

While you can take steps to reduce bed bugs on your own, such as cleaning and using bed bug sprays, professional treatment is often necessary to completely eradicate an infestation.

Bed bugs are true survivors. However, they cannot survive in heat above 50°C. Bed bugs die within 1.5 minutes in 50°C while the eggs need 30 minutes in 50°C to die.

These two things are fulfilled once the Heatbag reaches 52°C, which is why the recommended goal temperature of the Heatbag is at 52°C. Then you can be sure both fully grown bed bugs, nymphs and eggs have died.

Bed bugs typically live for about 6-12 months, depending on environmental conditions and access to food. They can survive for several months without feeding.

Female bed bugs can lay up to 500 eggs in their lifetime. Eggs hatch in about 6-10 days, and the nymphs (baby bed bugs) reach adulthood in about 5 weeks, making bed bug infestations spread quickly if not addressed.

No, you leave the Heatbag at home. Once back from your travel, heat-treat your luggage using the Heatbag before unpacking.

Yes you can! Even clothes that cannot be washed in warmer temperatures such as wool, silk, leather can be heated using a Heatbag. It is the combination of water & heat that shrinks and tears delicate clothes, not the heat itself.

Most items can be treated for hours without any concerns,
but a few items should be avoided or treated with care.

Items to remove before using the Heatbag:

• Electronics (to be on the safe side, electronics can usually withstand the heat)
• Make-up or skincare
• Food & beverages
• Medicines
• Deodorant & crayons ( if silicon based)

Our recommendation is to pack all things you do not wish to treat using the Heatbag together, and as high up as possible in the luggage to simply be able to remove these once home before starting the treatment.

Preferably, items that are not heated should be put in the freezer in (-18°C) for a minimum of 4 days to prevent bed bugs from spreading through these items.

Note: electronics cannot be put in the freezer.

It all depends on what suitcase you have and how fully packed it is. A fully packed, large check-in luggage in plastic is the most difficult to treat. Treating such a suitcase will take approx. 4-5 hours.

A smaller, suitcase in metal will go faster and the same goes for a lightly packed one. To be sure that the treatment is completed, use the included thermometer or set the timer to max.

Fold your Heatbag and simply stove it away in between travels.

Pro tip: Do you have kids with wet clothes coming home from pre-school? Or are you going on a hike or camping in the wild? Use your Heatbag as a portable heating cabinet in between travels!

Heatbag is an energy-efficient heating tool with the benefit that it is portable and easy to store when not in use. The perfect alternative to a heating cabinet if you live in a smaller space or if you need a heating cabinet on the go!
