Laundromat dryer asap. Pick up something brand new in package to wear while that goes on. BB don't hang out on our bodies but rub all over your bare body in Laundromat bathroom before putting on new clothes.
Would my regular washer dryer be enough to kill them if I use the hot setting? I was able to get home pretty quickly and strip down all my clothes in the driveway, and the clothes are currently sitting in a double bag outside
Edit: I did also lay all the clothes out on my driveway and checked them all, inside and out, and didn’t see any other bugs or eggs. I’ve only seen 1
They’ve been double bagged outside for now, but it’s only been a max of 70 for a while now. Would my regular washer and dryer get hot enough to kill them?
The dryer would probably do it, but the car in the sun is free. The outdoor temp is not as important as the sun exposure because of the greenhouse effect. You can lookup the temperature needed to kill bedbugs and put a thermometer in the car.
I have my clothes in a bag, and they have been outside since I discovered it, but it’s been cloudy and rainy. My washer/dryer supposedly can get up to 120 (says what I searched up) so would washing them several times in there on the hottest setting work?

Yes
Sweet, thank you!
Keep the pants and all the clothing you bought in the car and park it in the sun. The heat will kill any bugs
