Dear Carrie,
We should wait to hear from Richard Oehm about the ambient temps, but that
sounds pretty high! I suppose the bugs could get into the electronics.
Most responsible apartment owners would tent the apartments to get rid of
the bugs and your electronics should be safe from the Vikane gas that's
used in the US - although it's toxic to opened containers of food and
humans until the building is properly aired out and tested for safety.
Good luck! I've read that if you stay in a hotel and discover there are
bedbugs, that you should air your suitcase and clothes outside in full
sunshine, turning the clothes and then wash in very hot water.

Dear List,
I was wondering whether anyone knows what the highest temperature the
Optacon can be exposed to and not be damaged? The reason I ask is, the
apartment building I live in has become infested with bedbugs. I don't
think I have them, thankfully, but as a precaution, I have invested in a
ZapBug Oven, which is a heating chamber that kills bedbugs. According to
the manufacturer, you can place electronics inside, and the heat produced
by the oven is hot enough to kill bedbugs, their eggs and larvae, but not
hot enough to destroy one's electronics. The heating chamber gets to about
120º Fahrenheit which I do believe is around 60º Celsius. I am not sure
how long the electronics need to be in there, to kill everything, I'm
hoping not more than two hours or so.
So, does anyone know the highest non-working temperature the Optacon can be
in without receiving damage? If it's below 120º, then I may have to just
risk having these horrible things, as I need my Optacon.
Sorry to gross out anyone, I hope none of you ever have to deal with this.
It's very stressful!
Carrie
