Eradicating bedbugs from an aircraft like Qantas's Dreamliner involves a multi-stage process. The cabin is typically deep-cleaned, vacuumed thoroughly, and then treated with insecticides. Given their resilience, multiple treatments over several weeks are often needed to ensure all eggs and insects are gone, preventing reinfestation on future flights.
