Bed Bugs Killer
Bed Bug Control - 3 Top Bed Bug Killers
Author: Abhishek Agarwal
Pests have been a major concern in the daily world of civilization. May it be business, industries, commercials, media and plain folks common affairs. In fairness to the little bugs, it gives us something to work in common politically, it unites nations against it, it provides livelihood to millions people worldwide.
However if the votes of birds are counted, they will easily top the billboard. Yes, bed bugs prey on birds. In fact they were the first victims. Scientific studies show that ancient bed bugs feed only on bird's blood. Now they have managed to evolved to find the easier prey who cannot fly at the 1st instance of biting – the human species. Now they don't just climb the little nests but the bigger houses and buildings of hotels wherever people stay.
It is estimated that 5 out of 10 households have bed bugs in developed countries where there are most state of the art anti pest programs. So the figure may be more staggering in the under developed and developing countries. There are more families and hotels being infested in the poorer countries. Mainly this due to budget allocation which has to be spent in more important affairs of the nation like food and shelter. Another reason is the lack of education about the bugs and how people could avoid them through least expensive methods.
Literally speaking, bed bugs can cause more poverty to some people. There was this story of a family who lost their home when their shanty was gutted away by fire, when the father out of annoyance, killed the bugs with improvised flame thrower using candle, kerosene and bug spray. He miscalculated and hit some fire prone materials under their flooring which is infested with bugs. The bugs were exterminated for sure. But the family needed to find a sleeping place in the streets the following night.
Bed bugs are small creepy creatures which are flat and oval in shape. This structure enables them to hide in every small crevices of floors, chairs and beds near to where a person are expected to stay for hours. It is quite comforting to note that they are wingless. Because they are more cunning than mosquitoes and drinks more blood undetected.
Before the bugs sucks the food out of you, it injects coagulant and anesthetics to make sure they are not disturbed while feeding. They eat so much and could stay and wait in their hiding place for the next victim even for a year. But don't worry about the little guy that fed on you last night, there are thousands more waiting for you tonight on the same bed.
Bed bugs could reproduce three times in its life span. Laying a total of 500 eggs per pregnancy of about 5 eggs per day. The mother could be in its mid life and the multitude od daughters are already laying eggs with her. Look at multi level marketing chart, the bugs are more realistic in reaching its target until the home dwellers knows how to counter them or hires professionals. The bed bugs are now the fast spreading pest in the whole world.
What have the sciences have to offer? They are the only institutions or better yet, it has to take pure intelligence of human beings to counter the little than pea brains of these tiny pests.
Through the years, there have been numerous pesticides and insecticides formulated to control bed bugs. And the formulation never stops as pests tend to mutate and be more resistive on the next life cycle against the previous series.
There are three groups of substances categorized namely:
a) Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs) – This substance intends annihilation because it is designed to make bed bugs impotent. They do not kill, but it inhibits reproduction. Critical is reliability and accuracy on hitting the right target of infestation and the result will have to wait on the next cycle of reproduction.
b) Contact Pesticides -are those substances that repels the pests. Makes them go away from their original hiding places. They kill upon being engulfed but allows escape for those who happens to be repelled by its smell. It could be through spray, defogging or liquid, gel application on hiding places. These are considered the fastest way of liquidating bed bugs. But these are the least effective for total eradication because the liquids that stay on surfaces where bugs could be walking by will just have to avoid them because they don't like its smell.
c) Insecticidal Dust – This is more effective than the contact pesticides. It does kill upon contact by destroying the armor protective layer of the bed bugs and penetrates the body system as poison.

First off are we sure they are bedbug bites? are they bites that leave a bump or bites that just leave a tiny red mark with no bumb?? If there is a bumb it is not a bedbug. Assuming it is, I highly suggest a matterial called “Precore”; it is an aerasole can and i suggest you get enough to do ALL rooms.
You will want to start by taking ALL your clothes, shoes, blankets and any other linens; putting them in a black plastic bag and putting them outside. (the heat from the sun will kill anything((bugs)) in that bag).
second you will want to vaccumm ALL carpets (make sure to get edges and corners) , beds, couches, and so on. Be sure to be verry thorough. After vaccumming, if it is a bag vac: disgard of the bag in your outside trash can immidiatly. If baggless vac: empty out the contents of the vac and clean out the filter and holder.
third; after all the above is complete you are ready to get started. you will need gloves (rubber or latex) and a resperator. Be sure to read the entire lable before starting. Start from the furthest point of the home and work your way backwards and out, when treat get low; you are going to treat the edge of the baseboards and corners, same with closets.
when treating the beds, couches and any other chairs, you will want to make sure to treat the cuffs, folds and any other creases. Do not be affraid to lift those folds (verry important). samething with couches, take of those mattresses of the couch and treat both sides. DETAIL is key esspecially where you sleep.
make sure to take your clothes and linens to a drycleaner.
Lets sum it all up:
1.clothes & linens go in a black bag and outside in the sun.
2. vaccumm thoroughly, corners and edges of carpet and beds. Dont forget the cuffs and folds.
3. throw the vac bag away right away, bagless dump out, clean filter and wash.
4. take clothes & linens to dry cleaners, including sheets and blankets.
5. Use rubber gloves, or latex and a resperator.
6. use “precore” to treat, read lable first.
7. when treating be DETAILED, corners, edge of base borads, broad treat the carpet of the rooms, cuffs of bed and couches and chairs.
8. Last. BE OUT OF HOUSE FOR 3+ HOURS. immportant because you really do not want to be breathing this stuff, so find a place to go for three hours. use that time to take ur stuff to the drycleaners.

While diatomaceous earth is certainly harmless for humans to touch, I’m not so sure about breathing.
Essentially, the silica shells of the diatoms that make up the powder are very, very fine powdered glass.
I definitely would not recommend breathing large quantities of it.

I have been though all that. I feel your pain. We tried everything you could ever imagine, fogger stuff, sprays, and exterminators…but those evils always find the way to come back to bite us. Finally we found Bed Bug Powder from the site below, and it worked!! It is organic powder that is safe to humans and pets. I would recommend you using steamcleaner first to kill the existing bed bugs. Heat can kill bed bugs without messing your room up.
Then use Bed Bug Powder on your bed. We have not been bitten for at least 2 years since we started using it. Good luck.

What is a great way to get rid of bed bugs?
I have bed bugs. It has gotten to an overwhelming point though. I can’t sleep for nothing. It got to a point where I had to take sleeping pills to keep me knocked out because I had to get up to work. I tried cleaning the room and spraying down everything with bed bug killer. It stopped for about a week and little by little they popped up again.
