According to Rest Assured MC, Freezing Bed Bugs with Cryonite will Become One of the Most Popular Methods for Killing …

As bed bug infestations continue to occur more frequently, pest control companies and property managers will be turning to Cryonite machines to freeze bed bugs and eliminate them from the properties says Lorne Chadnick of Rest Assured MC.

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 29, 2012

While working on a daily basis with pest control companies, property managers and hospitality professionals, Rest Assured MC has witnessed an unrelenting problem of bed bug infestations, and no public place appears to be invincible. Schools, hotels, motels, shelters, dormitories, Universities, apartment complexes, libraries, neighborhoods and many other facilities have been infested, and unfortunately bed bug infestations are predicted to continue to occur more frequently in 2012.

Because bed bugs have recently come back with a vengeance, they have brought with them an increasing demand for new and innovative bed bug eradication products. According to a 2011 study by the National Pest Management Association, 99% of U.S. pest management professionals surveyed encountered bed bug infestations in the past year.

Bedbugs were a problem in America after WWII, and in the following decade were nearly eradicated from the continent by spraying a pesticide called Dichloro Diphenyl Trichloroethane or DDT. As effective as DDT was at killing bed bugs, it was incredibly harmful to the environment, wildlife and human health, resulting in it being outlawed in the USA in 1972.

In the years that followed many thought that bedbugs had gone the way of the Dodo bird, but due to bans on pesticide, increased resistance, and frequent international travel, bed bugs have seen a recent resurgence and are a bigger problem today than many would have anticipated.

While the jury is still out as to the absolute best way to permanently eradicate bed bugs, a new and increasingly popular method of killing them immediately has been freezing bed bugs with an environmentally friendly product called Cryonite. Cryonite sales are anticipated to boom in 2012 with a higher demand than alternative products.

The primary reason Cryonite will be growing in popularity is because it is an effective, non-toxic way of killing bed bugs. Upon contact, bed bugs are immediately frozen to death and any un-hatched eggs will also be frozen and will not produce live instar nymphs.

Secondly, Cryonite is an eco friendly product that does not contain pesticides or other toxic chemicals. It is a CO2 snow and when it is applied to the infested sites, it does not leave a toxic residue that would be harmful to other forms of life like humans or animals.

In addition to being a non-toxic method with immediate results, it is safe to treat appliances and electronics with Cryonite. This is a major advantage that freezing bed bugs with Cryonite has over other popular non-toxic treatments like heat and steam, whereas heat treatments frequently cause damage to electronics, rubbers and plastics.

Bed bugs are sucking the fun out of things

QUINCY, IL (WGEM) -- Did the bed bugs bite last night? The pests are becoming a big problem right here in the tri-states.

By the end of this year, bed bug infestation is expected to increase by 300% in the US.

Dave Hirner with Reliable Pest Solutions in Hannibal told me that they've been seeing an increase of bed bugs in hotels in Illinois, Missouri and Iowa.

He says one of the main reasons for the increase is due to international travelers bringing the pests in from other countries. And unfortunately, staying in a 5-star hotel doesn't make a difference.

"You could be in the nicest, most beautiful, most expensive hotel suite, and it could have bed bugs. Bed bugs don't care about the living conditions. They don't care about the clutter. They're just looking for food. They're just looking for blood," says Hirner.

When staying in a hotel, Hirner recommends putting your luggage in the bath tub and to inspect the bed. He says to pull the linens off, check the piping around the mattress, the box spring and even the headboard.

Top Entomologists Call 2012 Pivotal Year in Bed Bug War

Posted on March 1, 2012 by Pest Controller Click Here For Article

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Leading experts participating in a recent Bed Bug Summit have called 2012 a critical year in the goal to control the U.S. bed bug invasion. Entomologists, pest control professionals and manufacturers of products designed to stem the bed bug tide all weighed-in, and agreed that what we do this year will be crucial.

Each year the challenges of fighting bed bugs change and grow, said James Bell, CEO of Protect-A-Bed, a company that makes mattress encasement products to keep bed bugs away from their human prey. Now that the industry has begun working together its easier to see the best way forward.

Some Cities Winning, Others in the Crosshairs

Experts agreed that bed bug reports in some large U.S. cities such as New York will plateau in 2012 due mainly to increased education and prevention. However, they caution that the number of reports is expected to grow in other cities not previously experiencing high levels of bed bug colonies, especially in Southern states.

Out of Home Infestations to Rise

Most of the experts also predicted a significant increase in bed bug colonies outside the home, in places like hotels and office buildings.

According to Peter Trentacoste, assistant vice president of Student Affairs at Northern Kentucky University, staying vigilant for bed bugs is important to keeping the pests out of public places. He explained that in order to fight the bugs, talking about the issue and providing education is a key.

In relation to colleges and universities, there are quite a few places that continue to have their heads in the sand, Trentacoste said. They dont want to talk about bed bugs until they have a major issue.
