Skinow, the dehumidifier would collect suspended water droplets on the cooling element, thereby removing the water and the bug and dumping them into the collection tank or down the drain. That would be the process of bug removal rather than having the bugs die from dehydration, which I gather takes a lot of hours. I haven't checked the outlet temperature of our little fan heaters, but my guess is that it's about 120 degrees Celsius. Too hot for bugs to feel happy. Putting my hand in front of the heater for only a few seconds results in cooking. I can tolerate a sauna at 100 deg C for 10 minutes [thanks to sweating doing some cooling and blood flow preventing cooking by carrying heat away from the surface and heating my interior]. A bug would feel very miserable in a short time in such conditions. Not many bugs can take 100 deg C, or even lower temperatures. Mqurice
