subject: When You Discover An Infestation, You Only Care About One Thing: How To Kill Bed Bugs [print this page] Infestations of bed bugs are on the rise across the country. From big city hotels to rural school classrooms to apartment complexes, several people have one overriding question: how to kill bed bugs. Whether it is San Francisco looking at legislation that requires landlords to inspect for bed bugs monthly, Harrisburg dealing with bed bug infestations in its school system, L.A. being named one of the top five bed bug cities, or an apartment complex crawling with irksome and irritating bed bugs in a small community outside of Vicksburg, Mississippi, the bed bug problem in the U.S. is not going away.
For years, people turned to chemical pesticides in order to kill bed bugs. This method was arguably effective, and it did eliminate bed bugs in the U.S. for a time. The trade-off was the use of harmful chemicals that were toxic to humans, animals, and the environment. In addition, the bed bugs developed a resistance to the pesticides so that now we are seeing a resurgence of bed bugs and the same chemical pesticides are proving ineffective in the effort to kill the bed bugs. In fact, many experts are saying that the current epidemic of bed bugs is due in large part to the excessive use of chemical pesticides in the past.
If you have a problem with bed bugs in your home, you will still be able to kill them, however. Natural measures to kill bed bugs are actually proving more effective than their chemically-laden counterparts. Natural products rely upon organic ingredients to kill bed bugs and to control their return. In addition, natural products have the advantage of being completely safe for use around family members and pets.
If you think about it, using natural means to kill bed bugs makes a whole lot more sense than putting harmful chemicals and pesticides on or around the place where you sleep. It is actually amazing to consider that people in the past sought to kill bed bugs by applying toxic products to mattresses, box springs, and bed linens.
Obviously, if you have an infestation of bed bugs, you will want to kill them as effectively and efficiently as possible. The best, fastest, and safest way to kill bed bugs in your home is to utilize safe, natural products that will react with the exoskeletons of the bed bugs, killing them almost instantly. Be a part of the bed bug eradication solution instead of contributing to the problem; kill bed bugs without resorting to the toxic chemicals that help them to build up resistance.
