Leaving Bed Bugs Behind When We Move - help!

[crenellated.livejournal.com]

My housemates and I are moving at the end of this week from our place in Somerville, and are stressing about potentially taking the tail end of a months' long bed bug infestation with us to our new place. Does the community have any updated advice since the last time this was discussed? And does anyone local have a PackTite (or know someone who knows someone) we might borrow or rent for a few days? We're worried that our high efficiency drier is a little too energy efficient to properly fry bedding beyond a doubt, and we have other items like suitcases that aren't suitable for driers.

Box springs and mattresses are basically the place bed bugs are most likely to hide and survive pesticide treatments.

An extremely high-quality bedbug-proof encasement will keep the bugs within until they die out 18 months later.
