Leave them in place and simply unplug them. Bed bugs can get into the grills and vents of TVs and other electronics, so we make sure those items get thoroughly heated. Here’s our process:

Step 1: We leave TVs and electronics unplugged and in place at the beginning of the treatment until the lethal temperature can be reached to kill any bedbugs hiding in electronics.

Step 2: Once the TVs and electronics have reached the necessary treatment temperature, we either place reflective insulation over the TVs to protect them from additional heat or remove the TVs and electronics from the room.

Do not remove electronics before the treatment — they need to be heated. You do not need to unplug appliances in the utility room or kitchen.
