There are many different bed bug treatment options out there. However, very few are really effective at eliminating bed bugs in a timely and successful manner. The most common treatment is a standard chemical treatment involving various sprays and chemicals, but most common doesn't always mean most effective. Why aren't bed bug chemical treatments effective?
Like most insects, bed bugs gradually develop resistances to the various chemicals used against them, and they pass these resistances down to their offspring. The saying "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" definitely applies to bed bugs. In the past, DDT was a highly effective pesticide used to exterminate bed bugs. However, since then bed bugs have developed resistances to DDT, as well as other chemical treatments that don't eliminate a bed bug population in one go.
In addition, chemical treatments also have a negative effect on the environment. Chemical treatments can cause children, pets, and even adults to become nauseated or ill. Chemical treatment is not recommended if you have young children or pets in the building. Also, it makes a canine bed bug inspection much more difficult to arrange. Most K9 inspection companies will be reluctant to inspect an apartment after it has gone through a chemical treatment. The reason for this is that the chemicals can not only interfere with the dog's ability to detect bed bugs, but also damage a dog's ability to detect bed bugs in the future.
Why are non-chemical treatments the most effective solution for bed bugs?
The main advantage is that bed bugs can't develop a resistance to non-chemical treatments such as heat or steam. High temperatures (120+ degrees F) are known to instantly kill bed bugs, and heat is not something that a bed bug can eventually become immune to. A heat treatment done ten years from now would still be just as effective as a heat treatment done today. The same can't be said for a chemical treatment.
A heat treatment is also very friendly to the environment. There won't be any issues with children or pets after a heat treatment, and a bed bug inspection dog can be brought back to clear the house within days.
The benefits of non-chemical treatments cannot be ignored. Jeff Eisenberg, the President and Founder of Pest Away Exterminating, Inc., has had over 20 years of experience in the pest control industry and believes that education and preventative measures are the keys to managing the bed bug issue. Jeff Eisenberg has also written The Bed Bug Survival Guide, an informative book revealing tips and tricks on how to tackle these annoying pests.
