Personally, I think baking your substrate in the oven on a cookie sheet for a few hours would be a lot easier - you wouldn't have to worry about melting that plastic bag. I'd say use the oven set between 250 and 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

Alternatively, you could freeze the substrate. I like to use Spanish moss for my Dumeril's Boa (since the species really likes to burrow and hide), and before I use a new bag of moss, I'll leave it in the freezer for a week or so. It's really easy.

Anyhow, both options that I am talking about are something for you to do in the long run, with new substrate before you use it in the cage, not what you have in the cage now. Either method could still work just fine with what you have now, it would just be more time-consuming.

Just don't open up with a big can of Raid or anything OK??

Good luck
