Bedbugs are in the news as this pest, once virtually eradicated from developed countries, is making a comeback. Although DDT was almost entirely effective, its use has been banned in most of the world. With increased international travel, the opportunistic parasite is crossing borders and oceans and making itself at home. For many, it is time to consider hiring a bed bug exterminator.
There are companies that excel in ridding homes and businesses of this unpopular house guest. It is perfectly acceptable to ask for references. A reputable company will be glad to supply them, and satisfied customers will be glad to share their good news. Eliminating this pest will involve a great deal of effort - washing bedding and curtains in hot water and running the dryer on high, vacuuming every carpet, crack, and crevice, and dealing with all clutter that might provide hiding places - and it will all be in vain if inept treatment allows re-infestation.
Many think that eradicating bedbugs is almost impossible, but actually there are many success stories, especially if the pest has not become firmly established. The insects prefer to lurk in mattresses and bed frames. Encasing mattresses and bed springs in plastic bags and applying insecticidal dusts and sprays to furniture joints are usual methods of control.
Top companies in the industry voluntarily join quality enforcing organizations such as Quality Pro in the United States. This organization sets standards of good operating practices, calls for training and certification for technicians, and regulates everything from advertising to follow-up inspections. It requires meticulous record-keeping and quick attention to customer complaints.
One protocol that has proved its value is having a bedbug-detecting dog on staff. These specially-trained animals are quick to detect the pests and signal their findings to their handler. After treatment, the dog can signal an all-clear or indicate the need for additional control methods. Although usually set to work in large hotels, these dogs are also great at checking private homes.
Next year, the industry will be unveiling a new protocol: portable heaters that send super-heated air through the whole house. This gets adult insects no matter where they hide and unhatched eggs as well. A new system for verification of successful treatment is also coming to help once again make bedbugs only a memory.
The use of heat is not new. Heat is actually the most effective killing agent for bedbugs. A good travel tip is to leave luggage in a closed car when you get home again, so high interior temperature will kill both bugs and eggs. Travelers should throw the clothes on their back into the washer - set on hot - as soon as they get home and take a hot shower in case they have picked up a hitchhiker from the seats of planes, buses, or trains.
In case of infestations of this unwelcome pest, hiring a Bed bug Exterminator can be a fast way to get rid of the problem once and for all.
