ZappBug Heater Thermal Bag

The ZappBug Heater is a portable bed bug heater that provides a safe and effective solution for getting rid of bed bugs and other small insects. It works by heating up the infested items to a temperature that is lethal to bed bugs, which is between 49°C to 68°C (120°F to 155°F), depending on the length of time they are exposed to the heat. The ZappBug Heater is designed to be used in conjunction with other bed bug treatment methods, such as vacuuming, steaming, and the use of pesticides.

Instructions for Use:

1. Insert the infested items into the thermal bag, making sure it is not overloaded and the items do not touch the walls of the bag, allowing proper air circulation.
2. Place the temperature sensor deep inside the items. This is essential to ensure that the desired temperature is reached inside the items, not just on the outside. After that, zip the bag closed.
3. Connect the thermal bag to the power supply and set the timer. The heating duration varies between 3 and 8 hours, depending on the load of the heater and the ambient temperature. (For example: If the heater is used in a warm environment with a light load, the duration may be shorter. For a heavier load or if the environment is cooler, the time required to reach the desired temperature will be longer).
4. Once the temperature reaches 49°C, the timer should be set for a minimum of 60 minutes or more, if necessary. Always monitor the internal temperature with the included wireless thermometer. As the temperature in the thermal bag rises, the items inside will begin to heat up, and bed bugs will be eliminated.
5. After completing the heating cycle, allow the items to cool completely before removing them from the thermal bag. (WARNING: After heat treatment, the items may be hot, and handling them should be avoided until they have fully cooled to prevent burns, especially in the case of metal objects like zippers).

Factors that may influence efficiency: If the temperature in the room where the heater is placed is low, the time required for heating may be longer. To ensure optimal efficiency, follow all the manufacturer's instructions and recommended safety measures.
