Bed Bugs,
These parasitic pests infest you’re home, you’re furniture, you’re bed, you’re belongings… They bite and feed on you, you’re family and even pets. They usually go unnoticed at first biting periodically till the population grows. The 1st stage instar nymphs are so small they are hard to see. About the size of a ball in a ballpoint pen. They grow from this size feeding between molting till they reach the 5th stage which then makes them reproductive. The female bedbug can lay hundreds of eggs. These eggs can be laid in many places. Sleeping in a different room only spreads the bed bugs as they trail carbon dioxide and are able to crawl about 20 feet in any given 24 hour period. The eggs are sticky, tacky and can travel on you, on shoes. on clothing, in bags, and in so many other ways making them spread bye the host. These pests are parasitic vampires and the difficulty in dealing with them is getting tougher and tougher.
Numerous studies are now finding bed bug resistance to pyretheroids and neonicatoids, the most commonly used chemical combinations of insecticides used to eradicate bed bugs. These pests area already hard to get rid of but resistant bed bugs make it even tougher.
We personally talk to people daily about bedbugs and with many already having spent hundreds of dollars trying to deal with these pests themselves. Some have even hired pest control operators, companies to deal with the bedbugs but chemical resistance is growing and not all pest control operators are equal in the quality of work provided and use of pesticides. Of course the biggest problem is people themselves. Here is a list of a few reasons why somebody may get or have bedbugs after a treatment.
1) Bedbugs reintroduced unknowingly into the structure
2) Possible bed bug issue at work or place of business
3) Bedbug problem spread to vehicle
4) They know somebody that has bed bugs and visit each other
5) The home was not properly prepared for treatment, clutter, debree
6) A portion of the bedbug population has become chemical resistance
Of course many other factors could be the cause but these a few of the common reasons.
At EnviroTech we recommend dealing with this pest problem sooner rather than later. It only get’s worse putting it off. Heat kills bed bugs and we offer this service. Introducing to the structure the use of a process called thermal remediation or heat kills bedbugs and bed bug eggs. Chemicals can be used sparingly for a residual and placed in strategic places rather than everywhere keeping toxic chemical use at a minimum.
The thermal eradication treatment for bed bugs can take hours to all day depending on a number of factors such as structure size and layout. The home must be vacated for the day of treatment but you’ll be glad to know you can stay in the home that evening.
