[Noisebridge-discuss] Bedbug eradication: who's in?

[Mark G Sobell]

First off, I am happy to help.
An evening (not Thursday) or Sunday morning would be best for me.

Steaming sounds perfect.
This article has some good tips:
http://bedbugger.com/faqs/pestcontrol/faq-killing-bed-bugs-with-steam/
It says we should wear respirators.
Is there an infrared thermometer at NB? My son may have one, I will check.

Also, are there bedbugs at NB?
How often should we repeat this procedure?
