While chemicals can be effective, Kordek says there's really only one surefire way to kill the uninvited guests.
"Heat is 100 percent effective and bed bugs will never develop resistance to heat. They're either dead or they're not."
The pest control service will return to the school in two weeks to inspect the building for signs of reinfestation.
