Battling Bed Bugs

Tuesday May 2, 2006
HotelChatter posts a letter about the lengths one upscale Canadian hotel goes through to combat bed bugs:
When infestations are found, the room is immediately placed out of order, all portable goods including mattress, bed frame, headboard, duvet, bedside table, drapes -- absolutely everything is wrapped in plastic sheets and transported to a walk-in oven (I'm not kidding)...for a four-hour period. At the end of the four hour period every living thing that went into that oven is dead -- but the goods themselves are completely undamaged!
