   I read something on a site about using dry ice to kill BB's. The gist was that if you 'tent' them inside something with dry ice, the concentrated CO2 will kill them (not eggs, though). Does anyone know anything about this?

   I have read about efforts to use CO2 to kill bed bugs, but they were using a chamber with CO2 tanks. I am not sure you would get the same results with dry ice in a tent. I don't know if the method relies on high levels of CO2 as much as the lack of oxygen to kill the bed bugs. The approach I read about purged the room air out of the chamber.

   I have also seen an ad from a group that claims that extremely high levels of ozone will kill bed bugs.
