What Kills Bed Bugs
What kills bed bugs?
A thought occurred to me the other day. In most of my posts that I write assume that you have a working knowledge about these bugs. And what it takes to kill bed bugs.
After thinking about this I realized that this is sort of a stupid assumption on my part. Many of the people who are coming to this site are probably dealing with these nasty little bugs for the first time.
You came here to find out more about how you get rid of them.
So I am going to give you a quick overview here. I’ll include links to other parts of my site that can give you more information.
What Kills Bed Bugs
There are few pests that are harder to kill than these bugs. They were once almost eradicated in most industrialized nations through the use of DDT.
But since this chemical has been banned in most countries they are making a startling comeback. Killing Bed Bugs
They are now resistant to most pesticides that are used by exterminators. Choosing A Exterminator
Their eggs are almost impossible to kill without extreme steps being taken.
Plus, many exterminators are still not trained in how to kill these pests. They will fall back on the methods that work for other pests, and that does nothing for these bugs.
Social Stigma
Another big problem in dealing with these bugs is that somehow they seem to carry a social stigma with them. We have an impression that getting an infestation of bed bugs is somehow more embarrassing than any other bug.
This stigma can make it embarrassing for people to seek help when they have an infestation This often causing them to wait until too late when there is a larger infestation. This makes it more difficult to exterminate.
Getting an infestation makes us think our home is dirty. But the truth is that getting these bugs has little or nothing to do with how clean you keep your home.
It’s everything to do with opportunity.
