Max Temperature -- Getting rid of Bed Bugs / Eggs in Laptop

Hello,

 

I am dealing with the unfortunate situation of moving out of an apartment that I discovered had bed bugs. 

Ensuring that I do not take them with me to my next place is a challenging task. I’d like to kill any bugs or eggs possibly that have decided to make home in my laptop -- though unlikely, is possible. Bed Bugs die at 50 degrees celcius, the eggs at 60 degrees.

 

My question is.. can the entire laptop be carefully heated to 60+ degrees without damaging. Perhaps, assuming I take the battery out.

 

Thank you

I’d not turn on the laptop in this situation (cuz bugs can do some shortage), instead I’d disassembly it completely and vaccum it + cleaning with 100% isopropyl alcohol.

Thanks @FiszPL , I’ve heard that alcohol might damage some sensitive glues or electronics or could also cause some shorting, but I definetely will do my best to clean it mechanically / vacuum.

 

After speaking to a exterminator, the recommendation was to put it in a bag and observe to see if any come out over the course of a week.

If you use 100% IPA - it’s fully safe for electronics.
