According to school officials, families at Riverside High School have been asked to return their Chromebooks and check for bedbugs, following the discovery of the pests in the laptops.
Despite being uncommon, bedbugs can infest laptops, particularly if they've been in close contact with an infested environment, making the electronic devices surprisingly suitable for the pests.
Removing bedbugs from laptops poses a significant challenge. Pest control measures typically involve temperature extremes that could potentially damage electronics, ultimately leading to frequent recommendations for device disposal.
Though bedbugs are mainly known for infesting bedding, the interior of a laptop provides a warm, dry, and hidden environment, suitable for their survival.
