Comment on Killing bed bugs in your laundry by bedbugsnorthwest

I can only assume someone else with bed bugs had stuffed infested bedding into the dryer and that little bug did not die from the heat as it was in the front of the dryer. Imagine thinking you had killed them all and then bringing one back into your newly treated home from the dryer, starting your infestation all over again.
