FAQ

Why Freeze Your Luggage?

Bedbugs and other pests can easily travel along with suitcases. By freezing the suitcase immediately after the trip, it is ensured that unpleasant surprises do not make it all the way home.

How it works?

The service is booked through the online store, an entry code is provided, and the bag is left in a lockable locker in our drop off container at Vaasa Airport. The bag is then collected, sealed, and frozen at −22 °C for three days. Finally, it is delivered back.

Can this be done in a home freezer?

A home freezer is usually not cold enough or large enough for a suitcase. BagFreeze freezes the suitcase in professional freezers, where the temperature remains stable for several days.

Is −10 °C outside enough?

That is not enough. At −10 °C, bed bugs and their eggs can survive for weeks. Effective extermination requires at least −18 °C for several days.

Can I just put the suitcase in the sauna?

No. A sauna heats unevenly – some parts of the bag never get hot enough. Bed bugs and their eggs can survive, for example, in pockets and textiles. In addition, the heat can damage bags, clothes, and electronics.

Will my suitcase be opened?

No. We place the suitcase in a plastic bag, seal it and freeze it as a whole. We do not open the suitcase at any stage.

How much does it cost?

Depends on the product: Day tripper €59.90, Standard €69.90, Duo €119.90. See more under Products.
