The vehicles used in this study were large minivans with seating that folded into the floor. The confined spaces were cargo trailers filled to 85% capacity with books, furniture, and other household items. Each van and trailer was equipped with ~90 sentinel bed bugs consisting of three groups of 9\u201311 bed bug eggs, 10 nymphs, and 10 adults. The Vikane Fumiguide calculator was used to determine the target dosage (g-h\/m3) to apply in each replicate (e.g., one van or trailer). Sulfuryl fluoride concentrations were measured throughout the fumigation process using a Spectros SF-ReportIR. Concentration readings were input into the Fumiguide to determine when the accumulated dosage (g-h\/m3) was achieved, and when aeration should be initiated. After aeration was complete, the sentinel bed bugs were removed from the replicates and bed bug nymph and adult mortality was recorded. Bed bug eggs were monitored for 23 d to determine latent mortality. Fumigated bed bug mortality for each replication was 100% regardless of life stage. Latent mortality was observed in a single bed bug egg, but the first instar never fully eclosed. This study determined that fumigation with sulfuryl fluoride at the 1.9\u00d7 dosage factor is an effective method for eliminating resistant bed bugs from vehicles and personal belongings in densely packed situations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jee\/toab033","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,10]],"date-time":"2021-02-10T20:31:29Z","timestamp":1612989089000},"page":"857-867","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Field Evaluations of Sulfuryl Fluoride Fumigation for Control of the Common Bed Bug (Hemiptera: Cimicidae), Using a 1.9\u00d7 Dosage Factor in Motor Vehicles and Filled Cargo Trailers"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"114","author":[{"given":"D B","family":"Todd","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, Virginia Tech University, Blacksburg, VA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7121-4514","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"D M","family":"Miller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, Virginia Tech University, Blacksburg, VA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5429-8231","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"J R","family":"Gordon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Douglas Products and Packaging Company, LLC, Liberty, MO, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021041311143792600_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"111111","DOI":"10.1016\/j.postharvbio.2019.111111","article-title":"Sulfuryl fluoride fumigation to control brown marmorated stinkbug (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)","volume":"163","author":"Abrams","year":"2020","journal-title":"Postharvest Biol.
