Bed bugs cannot survive sustained high heat. Directing a blow dryer on its highest setting over seams and cracks may kill bugs on the surface, but it has limited reach and may not get hot enough to affect hidden bugs or eggs. Any visible bugs or eggs can be vacuumed afterward, but this method is not effective for larger or concealed infestations.
