Bed bugs picked up on vacation - HELP!!?
My husband and I just got back from Cuba. We unfortunately had an issue with bed bugs in one place we stayed in. Woke up covered in bites. We informed the casa owner and she sprayed with insecticide all over the room and sprayed our packs as well. So I am afraid now we have brought them home with us. We were VERY VERY careful and left all of our belongings including the clothes we had on outside overnight when we got home and did not bring anything in the house.
We have now bought some insecticide for bedbugs and were outside spraying down everything and put it all in garbage bags to sit for a while.
My concern lies with the cigars that we purchased there. I am afraid to spray them with insecticide for obvious reasons and we don't know what to do with them so they are in the freezer at the moment which we didn't want to do but didn't know what else to do. My question is, how long should we leave them in the freezer (it is set at -18 celsius) and will this process destroy the cigars? We paid a lot of money for them and hate to throw them out as my husband is a cigar afficianado.
Help!!!!!
