The PackTitle provides a fast and safe way to make sure your shoes, backpacks, books, files and album covers are bed bug free using safe heat.The Packtite Bed Bug Oven.

Possibly the most useful tool you could have to treat shoes, backpacks, books, papers, hats, coats, pillows, cushions and the list goes on. Heats your stuff to 130F to ensure all bed bugs and their eggs are dead. I still use mine occasionally for thrift store and garage sale treasures that can’t be washed.* Do not place candles, makeup, liquids or other heat sensitiveness items in the PackTite. Know that items that have glue, such as some books, may experience some damage or changes in the PackTite due to heat. You can use NoPest Strips in sealed bags for three weeks if you want to avoid heating specific objects. * I’ve updated the photo to reflect the newer model PackTite 2.

Get help identifying bed bugs at your county public health vector control office

Your county pest or vector control may have an entomologist on hand to identity your insect (if you've captured or killed one) and determine if you have bed bugs or not. In Multnomah County call the Bed Bug Hotline at 503-988-BUGS (2847) if you think you may have an infestation. They can identify your insect for you.

You can find your local County Vector Control department at NACCHO (National Association of County and City Health Officials). When you call a Vector Control Department at your Public Health Department (usually County), they may tell you that bed bugs are not vectors. Legally that's true for now, but ask if they have an Entomologist in the office who can help you identify your bug. They almost always do have someone who can identify insects and if you are an expert in ants, cockroaches and spiders you also know about bed bugs.
