Review/Giveaway: ThermalStrike Luggage Fights Bed Bugs

by Carrie with Children with 21 comments

Travel is a huge part of my family’s life.  It’s something we love to do, especially with our girls.  We are on the road quite a bit and it’s important to me to stay germ-free and more of a concern lately – free of bedbugs too!

We recently had the opportunity to try out luggage made by ThermalStrike and I was pretty impressed!

ThermalStrike Suitcases

Made with integrated infrared heating technology, you just plug the suitcase in and it automatically brings the temperature inside of the suitcase up to 140˚F. At that temperature, any unwelcome bedbugs are killed and your belongings are safe.

It sounds high tech and it totally is, but from my standpoint – all I did was take the cord out of the suitcase, plug it in and let it do it’s thing!  In just a short two and a half hours, it had reached the maximum temperature and shuts itself off.

The suitcase comes in two sizes – a 20″ carry-on and 24″ upright.  I especially like the rotational wheels making it very easy to steer and it’s a surprising lightweight suitcase too!

It’s Giveaway Time!

Interested in keeping your surroundings free of bedbugs?  I’m giving away a Protect-A-Bed BugLock Mattress Encasement – and you get to pick the size you need for your current mattress.

This encasement is bite free along the top and entry/exit free on all sides and the three sided zipper makes it easy to secure your mattress. There’s no way bedbugs are getting to your mattress.
