@jeridansky LOL bedbugs and aviation
@jeridansky @ai6yr New fear acquired! 😬
@jeridansky @ai6yr No personal experience, but from what I've read, a "deep clean" will not get rid of bedbugs.
They're super small, and can get into any kind of gap, opening, etc. Think about all the spaces under seats, panel gaps, etc. Lots of those on an airliner, which can't be "cleaned".
The only sure way is to heat the space to a high temperature, that kills the bugs and eggs.
