25. Safe disposal of infested items

When an item is heavily infested with bed bugs, it may need to be discarded. However, care should be taken to prevent the bugs from spreading during disposal. Infested items should be sealed in plastic bags before being removed from the home. Large items like furniture should be marked as infested to prevent others from unknowingly bringing the bugs into their homes.
