Bed Bug infestation throughout the country has reached epidemic proportions. Typically, the nightmare begins when one of these critters finds it way in your luggage or hitches a ride on you during travel. How did the problem so bad? Until the mid 1970s, a strong pesticides called DDT to control bed bug population among others. In response to environmental and security concerns, however, DDT was phased out from production.
In fact, the bugs began showing resistance to DDT as early as 1948, and reports from the 1950s and 1960s, as well as more recently show that the bed bugs not killed when spraying DDT for malarial mosquitoes were carried out. To bring back DDT now is simply not practical given their resistance and not an effective solution to the problem. They were resistant to various pesticides and we simply let the problem get out of hand over the years.
Experts grows ever more enthusiastic about non-chemical solutions. Not only because they are developing resistance to harmful pesticides, but also because it is safer, simpler and more ecologically friendly preventive products on the market today. The key is to be proactive in order to prevent outbreaks. An attack can be very difficult and costly to control when a critter becomes an outbreak. They are just about anywhere, including hotels, apartment houses, hostels, cruise ships, privates, aircraft, movie theatres and also in the taxi cars.
Always keep your luggage from the floor of the hotel rooms and zipped whenever possible. Check your mattress for small stains of blood or black spots that looks like mold-in fact, it is undigested blood from their previous meals. The bugs are small rusty-red or amber coloured, oval-shaped insects and for the untrained eye they can resemble a check. Spray a barrier for a natural and safe bed bug product around the bed and if you want to use the drawers or closets, and drawers at empty Spray dry before you add your clothes. With secure methods combined with an effective natural product on the market will protect you and your family at home and when travelling.
