Bed bug treatment has evolved over the past decade. With DDT having been banned, there is no longer a widely used pesticide that can control the outbreak bedbugs. Currently, if you’re looking to kill bed bugs there are several different bed bug treatment options that have been proven effective, if applied properly.
Some of the treatment options that are effective when attempting to eliminate bed bugs don’t even require the use of any chemicals or pesticides! Pesticides may still be effective in an attempt to kill bed bugs but bedbugs have been known to develop resistance to pesticide.
A study recently released showed that bedbugs in NYC have become four times more resistant to pesticides and chemicals than bedbugs from the rest of the country. Because of this, PMPs (Pest Management Professionals) have been forced to explore other methods in order to eliminate bed bugs.
Many pest management professionals are using integrated pest management principals because many people are resistant when it comes to applying toxic pesticides in their homes or businesses. Exterminators in NYC and all over the country are exploring safe, eco friendly, non-toxic options when it comes to eradicating a bed bug infestation. Pesticides have become the last option for the extermination companies that have incorporated integrated pest management principals.
Among these bed bug treatment methods to kill bed bugs are:
- Steam Cleaning (Heat)
- Cryonite (Freeze)
- Integrated Pest Management Principals (Eco Friendly)
- Dry Cleaning/Laundry Service (Heat for Clothing)
- Bed Bug Canine Service (Prevention)
- Do It Yourself Bed Bug Spray (Prevention)
Bed bug treatment options vary in the amount of applications required in order to be effective. Regardless of the option you choose to eliminate bed bugs, a follow up is always recommended to make sure the exterminator’s effort to kill bed bugs was successful. Any good extermination company will not mislead you by telling you that a bedbug infestation will be eliminated upon first treatment.
