Infested fabrics that are able to be laundered should be placed in a clothes dryer set to high heat for 10 to 20 minutes. "Dry-clean only" garments can usually go through a dryer cycle safely as long as they are completely dry at the start and the dryer is only set to medium heat, which is less than 160 degrees 71 degrees Celcius (160 degrees Fahrenheit). Heat is an effective way to kill bed bugs, but garments must be laundered at temperatures of 49 degrees Celcius (120 degrees Fahrenheit) in order for the heat treatment to be effective. Avoid taking your garments to a dry-cleaner. Dry-cleaning your garments will usually kill the bugs, but your infested garments may cause a bed bug outbreak at the dry-cleaners. Upholstered furniture, rugs, and other fabrics that cannot by washed or dried can be placed outdoors on a hot, sunny day. Loosely wrap the item in plastic bag material. Any plastic will work, but dark colors absorb more heat, so a black plastic bag is ideal. Place the wrapped item in direct sunlight. Choose the sunniest, hottest day possible. Let the wrapped item sit in that position for at least 24 hours, if not longer. The internal temperature of the bagged item needs to reach 49 degrees Celcius (120 degrees Fahrenheit) or higher. If your bed bug problem occurs in the middle of winter, you can use freezing temperatures to kill bed bugs, as well. Wrap each infested item in plastic bag material. Sit it in a shaded area on the coldest winter day possible. Note that this method will take longer than sitting your furnishing out in the sun. If the temperature is consistently at -18 degrees Celcius (0 degrees Fahrenheit), you will need to wait two to four days. If temperatures reach up to -7 degrees Celcius (20 degrees Fahrenheit), you will need to wait for about a week. A portable heating device designed to kill bed bugs can be difficult to find and may cost you $300 or more. A portable bed bug heater is large enough to treat items like suitcases, backpacks, clothing, sleeping bags, purses, pillows, and shoes. Place your items on the support rack inside the device and follow the instructions to heat the interior. The heat will automatically turn off when the cycle is complete. Note that a portable heating device is ineffective at treating an entire room or large space. If you need to treat an entire room, hire a pest management professional to treat the room with steam or specialized heaters. A professional steamer session can range in price from $300 to $1200. Steaming takes a long time to complete, and the temperature of the steam must reach 71 to 82 degrees Celcius (160 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit). One of the most effective treatments is the use of a whole room heating system. Industrial heaters heat the air inside an entire space to a temperature between 49 and 57 degrees Celcius (120 and 135 degrees Fahrenheit). Ask your pest management professional if your beds and furniture must be stripped or moved before the company's arrival. Some companies will ask you to do so, while others like to inspect the items first. Note that turning up the heat in your home will not accomplish the same results as a professional heating session.

Summary: Place infested garments and bedding in the dryer. Allow furniture to sit out in direct sunlight. Freeze furniture, instead. Use a portable heating device. Call the professionals.

Draw a straight, horizontal line across the middle of your piece of paper. This will be the horizon line, the line where the sea meets the sky. You can use a ruler to help you draw a straight line. Below the horizon line, but not quite at the bottom of your paper, draw a wavy line across your whole page. This will mark the tide-line, where the water reaches the sand. Make the curves of the line different sizes to make the waterline look more realistic. Your scene will have the beach in the bottom part of your page, then the water, and then the sky. Make it clear that the ocean is water by adding little squiggles to look like waves. Don't worry too much about making it look perfect. You are just at the pencil stage, and can fix it up later with colors. To draw a cloud, sketch short, connected curved lines. You can make the clouds as big or small as you want, and can also add swirls in the middle of the cloud for a more realistic effect. If you want your beach scene to be perfectly sunny, with no clouds, then feel free to skip them! If you want your beach scene to take place at sunrise or sunset, then draw the sun as half a circle, sticking out of your horizon line, in the middle of the page. If you want your beach scene to take place in the middle of the day, then draw the sun as a full circle floating in the sky. If your scene is at night, add a moon by either drawing a circle or a crescent. Don't worry if the circle isn't perfect! Most of the time people don't look directly at the sun, so they don't really see a perfect circle. If you want, you can give your sun a friendly smiley face.

Summary: Draw a horizon line in pencil. Add a wavy line for the edge of the water. Draw little squiggles in the water to look like waves. Draw clouds in the sky. Draw a sun or a moon.

Drive the vehicle with the live battery, which is the donor car, towards the vehicle with the dead battery. The battery is typically located underneath the car's hood, so you can either park the cars next to each other or facing one another. Don't let the cars touch, though!

Summary: Park the vehicles so the batteries are near each other.
