Bug Bug Prevention

Long term poster but changed name. DC returning from university but has been living in a shared house. His room has had bed bugs twice. Bedroom heat treated by professional firm twice. First time they went away for months then came back and treated for a second time.

DC has to return home but I am worried about bed bugs hitching a ride. Read that bagging all clothes and leaving in a hot car then tumble dry for 45 minutes. DC can take off clothes in porch. My worry is electronic equipment.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Could you see if your DC's room at uni could be heat treated with all their stuff in it just before they leave to come to yours?

Unfortunately not as the second treatment has only just happened.
