I’ve just tried on a trouser for 1 minute or less, in a vintage shop in brick lane but finally didn’t buy it cause it was not nice. After walking in the street I felt itchy in my legs so now I’m wondering if it is possible I got bugs on me already .. anyone can tell? I also realized afterwards the clerk was steaming clothes with the machine meanwhile I tried the trousers . It sounds very warning to me and I’m getting anxious. Anyone can tell something about it?]]></description>

The POINT people is that this is a place to find VINTAGE. Any home in the country could be infested and guess what? So can a mall. People go to those malls and carry with them little surprises. That&#039;s why no matter where you shop you wash your clothes first, always. 

For the occasional item that may have bed bugs - there is a bed bug killing spray. It is intended for things that cannot go in a washer. Like a mattress.

You two are complete morons! Racism is so cool when it&#039;s against white people? Well then, I guess racism is cool against blacks as well. There is also alot more to be said about you than some white person&#039;s fear of bedbugs.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We used this to great effect in a recent bed bug infestation (that has been vanquished): 115 degrees kills all stages of bed bug life in 7 minutes. If you have a car and you can park it somewhere that will get full sun, the trunk will easily heat up to higher than 115, which is a great way to de-bugify things like vacuum cleaners, shoes, and dry clean only items.]]></description>

Kristen, unfortunately there is nothing you can do using home products .. your best bet would be to FREEZE the trunk if you have a freezer large enough!!

Does the trunk have any dark spots on it?]]></description>
