Put them in a black plastic trash bag, and put them someplace that will exceed 115F degrees for at least 4 hours. Not hot enough to damage the clothes, but this will kill the bugs. Freezing them does not work. They can live frozen for one year. Heat is the only thing that kills them fast. Even cutting off their food source will not work.
