Bed Bug Bombs Are Duds, Yet Still On Shelves

Posted on June 8, 2012 by Pest Controller Click Here For Article

As bed bugs have proliferated in the last decade, remedies against them -- special zipper covers for mattresses, sprays, even dogs trained to sniff out bed bugs -- have begun multiplying on shelves as well. But experts say that bed bug foggers, a common over-the-counter product better known as a 'bug bomb,' don't work at all -- and a lack of regulatory scrutiny means many consumers will keep feeling the pinch.

Bug bombs work by releasing aerosolized chemicals upward, where they remain suspended in the air for some time and then settle onto surfaces.

Ohio State University entomologist Susan C. Jones tested three kinds of insect fogger -- the Hotshot Bedbug and Flea Fogger, the Spectracide Bug Stop Indoor Fogger, and the Eliminator Indoor Fogger, all made by United Industries Corp. in St. Louis, Mo. -- on five populations of bed bugs collected from residences around Columbus, Ohio, and one population of lab-raised bugs.

None of the foggers were effective at killing the bed bugs found out in the wild, and the relatively weaker lab-raised population could escape death simply by hiding under a thin piece of cloth, she reported in the Journal of Economic Entomology on June 3.

"The public is ill-served when products do not perform in accordance with labeling and use directions claims," Jones wrote in her paper.

The results weren't surprising to any entomologists.

"In a nutshell, Dr. Jones' study reinforces what I would have expected," University of Kentucky entomologist Mike Potter wrote in an email.

Over-the-counter foggers, Potter explains, are quite different from true fumigants that can penetrate deep into the hidden places where many insects hide. Bug bombs just can't penetrate into the cracks and crevices to get at the bed bugs. Plus, bug bomb ingredients also tend to act as repellents, causing insects to scatter and flee deeper into hiding.

Many wild bed bugs have also developed resistance to pyrethrins, the primary active ingredient in bug bombs. In her experiments, Jones found that even two hours of direct exposure to the insect fogger was not enough to kill most of the urban bed bugs.

New Research Reveals Bed Bugs' ability to transfer harmful bacteria

Posted on June 8, 2012 by admin Click Here For Article

Bed bug bites were long thought to be relatively safe, but recently published reports indicate that bed bug bites can indeed transfer dangerous pathogens

TORONTO, June 7, 2012 /CNW/ - Researchers and scientists have studied bed bugs for many decades and have generally come to the conclusion that bed bugs could not transfer dangerous pathogens. However, recently published reports by Sean Abbott, Ph. D., senior biologist for Natural Link Mold Lab (NLML) determined that bed bugs have the ability to transfer live staphylococcus aureus (staph).

One recent report describes a Tennessee man's luxurious getaway to a premium rental cabin, which turned into a trip to the E.R. after he received multiple bed bug bites causing a severe bacterial staph infection. Fortunately, the man's infection, located on his leg, responded positively to an E.R.-prescribed oral antibiotic and he fully recovered from the infection approximately two weeks later.

Due to these recent discoveries, the Bed Bug Division of Magical Pest Control urges property managers to protect their tenants or renters from potentially lethal bed bug bites by hiring a licensed bed bug detection team to inspect their properties for bed bugs and bed bug eggs before opening their doors to customers.

"With the recent news of bed bugs transferring deadly pathogens, anyone renting their property must now take on the serious moral responsibility of hiring an expert bed bug detection team to perform a quick bed bug inspection of their property to ensure the health and safety of their tenants and renters," says Alex Dayan, manager of Magical Pest Control. "If bed bugs are detected, the best method of getting rid of them is through ThermaPureHeat treatment which is eco-friendly and pesticide-free."

Magical Pest Control's ThermaPureHeat treatment penetrates deep into a structure's cracks and crevices to kill bed bugs and their eggs where they are hiding. Pesticides, in contrast, are typically not effective in exterminating bed bug eggs, therefore, when relying on pesticides multiple treatments are often required to kill bed bugs after eggs hatch. With ThermaPureHeat, only one treatment is required to get rid of bed bugs and their eggs simultaneously.
