I realize that discarded electronics found on the street can be useful, if only for parts. However, I was told recently that there seems to be a resurgence of bedbugs in the US and that one of the places they can turn up is in discarded stuff found on the street. So, I'm wondering how one might deal with this problem, e.g. is there a way to kill all life inside the electronics before bringing it into the home? One thing that occurred to me was to put the found object in a plastic garbage bag and open some kind of spray can or cartridge of some sort, and leave the bag sealed for 24 hours before opening it. I don't know if that would work on bedbugs, nor what to use. Moreover, even if it kills the bedbugs, they might already have laid eggs and the eggs might not be killed by this procedure.
Does one have to abandon scavenging for discarded electronics?
