![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Most of the commonly used pesticides today, including professional products and consumer products advertised for control of bed bugs, are at best moderately effective at controlling these pests. Pesticides alone are not the answer to bed bugs. In one recent study only half of apartment residents whose homes were determined to have bed, bugs knew (or admitted) they had a bed bug problem. Simply asking tenants whether they have bed bugs is not enough. If one apartment is infested, adjoining units (left side, right side, above and below) should be assumed to be infested unless shown otherwise through inspection or monitoring. Bed bugs readily move from apartment to apartment, with many people unaware that they have a problem. A coordinated bed bug control effort using a pest control company is generally needed in such situations. If you live in an apartment or condominium, it’s best to alert the property manager. With diligence and patience and some hard work you have a fighting chance of getting rid of bed bugs in your home. If you feel you cannot afford to hire a professional, and want to attempt do-it-yourself bed bug control, there are some things you can do. Unfortunately, this can be expensive and beyond the means of many people. By far, the best solution for bed bugs is to hire a pest control company with experience successfully controlling bed bugs. Bed bugs are one of the most difficult pest problems to eradicate quickly. ![]()
