Will interior temps exceeding 130 damage electronics or leather? Bed bug situation :/
Hello all,
TLDR: 3 weeks after bed bug treatment at home an adult was found with new bites, pest control advised me to turn my cars heat up on high and ensure interiors get above 130 F for at least 30 minutes. Will this damage electronics or the leather interior? Also can I extend climate control on high heat for 40-50 total min (to ensure temp is reached before clock starts)? Two questions.
One of my least favorite posts in my history on reddit. Bought my 2023 MME in late March. About a month later I started having bites and discovered bed bugs in my house. I’ve had an ex who had them in the past so I’m always precautious. I had it treated with Apprehend 3 weeks ago and started having more bites and found an adult so pest control said they’d need to treat with Apprehend again. To check off some additional boxes, pest control also advised me to heat my car to >130 degrees F for >30 min. I’m concerned this may have an aging effect on the leather and the electronics, though I believe car testing includes high heat conditions. Will the extend climate on plug allow me to do that anyways? I don’t believe I could leave the car on for 40-50 min without me in it, but have never tried.
Any tips or suggestions on going about this would be appreciated!
They said they could spray my car with apprehend, though it would become ineffective much faster to due high external heat conditions (90 today where I’m at).
