Response Surface Methodology-Based Optimization of Localized Heat Treatment for Managing <i>Cimex lectularius</i> (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) Infestations. [PDF]
Vet Med IntThis study explores the efficacy of localized heat treatment as a method for controlling bed bug (Cimex lectularius L.) infestations. Experiments were carried out to determine the lethal temperature and time necessary to achieve mortality in bed bugs and their eggs. Various combinations of lethal temperatures and exposure times were applied.
