Bed bugs are a rapidly growing problems country for the first time in almost 50 years. Although these bugs have been feeding off of people for thousands of years, they were thought to have been all but eliminated from this country in the 50s. The reason that bed bugs have made such a comeback is a matter of some debate. Some experts attribute it to greater immigrant populations along with more international travel while others believe that the popularity of vintage and secondhand clothing and furniture has played a large part. Regardless of the reason, eliminating a population of bed bugs once they have found their way into a home is generally more important to a homeowner than how they got there.
While many homeowners rely on expert exterminators to deal with pest problems, it is possible for the average homeowner to combat a bedbug infestation on their own. The best way to attack bedbugs is to purchase a bedbug treatment kit. These kids take a comprehensive approach to attacking bedbugs before they get completely out of hand. Since a full-blown infestation can require a person to replace furniture, beds, and other expensive belongings it is important to catch them early and kill them the first time.
Bed bug treatment kits often come in sizes for 1 to 2 rooms or 3 to 4 rooms. A well-designed kit will include a number of different ways of killing bedbugs rather than relying on one technique alone. Chemicals will most likely be included one of these kits. They may include oil-based sprays which deliver almost instantaneous results and leave no insecticide residue. These types of chemicals have an immediate effect but a well thought out bedbug treatment kit will also include another chemical which is designed to provide long-term results. The combination of immediate and long-term bedbug killing chemicals will deliver excellent results.
A bedbug treatment kit may also include a specially designed powder which absorbs the fluids from the bug's body. As long as the powder stays dry, it remains effective. This powder can be sprinkled using a specially designed dusting device or "puffed" into hard-to-reach areas such as wall sockets and light switches. Since these bugs often find their way to into areas that are all but impossible for a person to get into, the powder makes an excellent weapon. Bedbug treatment kits make it possible for the regular person to fight off these nasty invaders quickly and effectively.
