The specter of bed bugs has rattled the
psyche of many a modern-day traveler. But
thanks to the efforts of U.S.-based Thermal-
Strike Heated Technologies, it may soon be a
thing of the past.
ThermalStrike Heated Luggage is specifi-
cally designed to kill all life-stages of bed bugs
and their eggs by reaching a temperature of
140 degrees Fahrenheit. In fact, the
destruction is triggered by raising the bag's
handle and plugging into a traditional wall
outlet. All elements of the system are TSA
andFAAcompliant.
Other features of the luggage include a
polycarbonate-blend outer shell, telescopic
aluminum handle, reinforced corner guards
and an integrated TSA-approved lock. Four
rotational wheels enhance maneuverability
even when the bag is fully packed, and it's
available at ThermalStrike.com in either 20-
inch carry-on or 24-inch upright models that
begin at $199 and$249, respectively.
