Oct 29, 2019 at 12:08 comment added emonigma On mattress covers, this page from the University of Minnesota mentions that they need 18 months, and recommends "a mattress cover that is labeled specifically for bed bugs as covers designed only to reduce allergens may not stop bed bugs." Another page from the same source recommends "Inspect them often to be sure they don’t have rips. If you find holes or tears, seal these completely with permanent tape or buy a new bag."

It will not get hot enough to kill all the bugs." On exposing items to freezing temperatures, the same source mentions a longer period: "Quickly expose items to 32 ºF or below and leave them there for at least two weeks. All crawling life stages will die. To kill the eggs, 30 days is needed."
