ESA, in Melville, NY, where I stayed for three months last year has no reported bedbugs... probably because of the Mexican maids... they were very thorough >:-} ...Jim Thompson

The main thing is not to bring them home with you in your luggage. All insects breed exponentially, it only takes a few eggs. There should be a travelers kit where you can seal everything in a bag and then gas it.

Heating it to 120F(?) for an hour or so will do it, too.

And if there were any BB eggs, it would be full of 'puffed rice' when you opened it? ;-)

I'd say in the car outside the garage, I learned that leaving a can of coke in the center console while parked in the sun in Phoenix isn't such a great idea, good thing it was a rental ;)

In the car I only carry water bottles. ...Jim Thompson

It's not such a good idea in Vermont, either. One morning, before she got up, I was reading the Internet when, from the garage, there was a

*BANG*. Didn't think much about it until there was a second, then a third. I opened the garage door and saw a 12-pack of coke on the garage floor that looked like it had been a case of grenades, with three cooked off and the rest with the pins pulled. Around the cans were little chunks of Fizzies scattering around the garage floor. She had gone shopping the day before and didn't bring everything inside. BTW, it was -25F at the time.

That would work well in AZ. Garage works In northern states for opposite extreme. Freezing kills them too, eggs and all.

I did a bottle of wine like that once. Fortunately it just pushed the cork out and left semi-solid red wine around the bottle :-( ...Jim Thompson

I had a spate of 'bad' 2 liter bottles from Safeway. Two exploded while stored in one of our cupboards. Besides the 4 liters of content mess, there wasn't a lot left of the plastic bottles. Literally sounded like nearby mining activity, but closer.Didn't find the damage until two days later when went to retrieve some soda.
