The (hard) Truth Behind Treatment Of Bedbugs by chogon: 8:27pm On Jan 10, 2014
Another common misconception about bed bugs is that there is no way to get rid of them once they invade your home. That’s just not true—bed bugs can be killed by a variety of chemical and non-chemical methods, and there are steps you can take to minimize the opportunities they have for re-establishing themselves in your home.
This misconception is probably fueled by the fact that there is no one, single product that will kill all bed bugs, in all stages of development, from all areas of a dwelling. Because there is no single one cure-all product, its quite difficult to get rid of bed bugs in one go.
Eradicating bed bugs is a fairly complex, labor-intensive process. There are over 300 products currently registered with the EPA for use against bed bugs. Although the majority of these products can be used by consumers, in most cases they really require the expertise of a professional pest control technician to design an effective campaign. You would be throwing money away to buy effective products that don’t work because you didn’t understand how to use them in concert with other products.
One thing that will not work is buying over-the-counter insect killers or repellents. The “bug bombs” and other such products are probably lethal to most insects, but their delivery method is not effective against bed bugs. Bed bugs hide in very small cracks and crevices until such time they feed—and then they dart out quickly and return to their safe spots. Unfortunately, when people try these products and get unsatisfactory results, they tend to get more and start exceeding label directions for their use. Poisonings and house fires have resulted from this kind of misuse.
If a product does not specifically say that it is effective against bed bugs, and give explicit directions for where it should be used and how it should be applied, don’t waste your money. It is also futile to buy a product that treats mattresses, for instance, when you might also have bed bugs that live in window casings or in a wall space. This is another reason a qualified professional can both help you identify the extent of your problem, and help you design a program of the safest, most effective chemicals to treat it.
Bed bugs can effectively be treated, but bed bug treatments are much more effective and have a higher chance of working if treatments are enacted shortly after bed bugs have been introduced the environment. You may require multiple treatment sessions (2 or 3 is the typical number banded about by pest control authorities) to fully cull the bed problem.
The different types of treatments work differently. The one type of treatment that will absolutely eliminate a bed bug infestation is structural bed bug fumigation. However, this is a costly and time consuming effort that most people won’t pursue unless there is no other recourse. For some people (apartments), this method might not even be an option.
Here’s a short list of the products available to treat bed bugs, both chemical and non-chemical bed bug treatments:
