Efficacy of 'natural' bed bug pesticides compared

Posted on October 13, 2014 by Pest Controller Click Here For Article

Concerns over human-insecticide exposure has stimulated the development of alternative bed bug control materials, and many essential oil-based pesticides and detergent insecticides have been developed in recent years. But how well do they work? To find out, researchers from Rutgers University evaluated the efficacy of nine essential oil-based products and two detergents that are labeled and marketed for bed bug control. The results are published in an article in the Journal of Economic Entomology.

The non-synthetic bed bug pesticides -- which contain ingredients such as geraniol, rosemary oil, mint oil, cinnamon oil, peppermint oil, eugenol, clove oil, lemongrass oil, sodium lauryl sulfate, 2-Phenethyl propionate, potassium sorbate, and sodium chloride -- included the following products:

- Bed Bug 911

-- Bed Bug Bully

-- Bed Bug Fix

-- Bed Bug Patrol

-- Ecoexempt IC2

-- EcoRaider

-- Eradicator

-- Essentria

How Well Do 'Natural' Bed Bug Pesticides Work?

The non-synthetic bed bug pesticides which contain ingredients such as geraniol, rosemary oil, mint oil, cinnamon oil, peppermint oil, eugenol, clove oil, lemongrass oil, sodium lauryl sulfate, 2-Phenethyl propionate, potassium sorbate, and sodium chloride included the following products:

When the researchers sprayed the 11 non-synthetic pesticides directly on bed bug nymphs, they found that only two EcoRaider (1% geraniol, 1% cedar extract, and 2% sodium lauryl sulfate) and Bed Bug Patrol (0.003% clove oil, 1% peppermint oil, and 1.3% sodium lauryl sulfate) killed more than 90 percent of them. None of the non-synthetic insecticides had any noticeable effect against bed bug eggs except for EcoRaider, which killed 87 percent of them.

While these lab results may seem promising, the effectiveness of both products is probably much lower in actual settings because it is extremely difficult to spray any product directly on bed bugs because of their ability to hide in tiny cracks and crevices.

Under field conditions, bed bugs hide in cracks, crevices, creases, and many other places where insecticide application may not be directly applied onto the hidden insects, the authors wrote. Additional studies under field conditions are warranted to determine the field efficacy of EcoRaider and Bed Bug Patrol and how they can be incorporated into a bed bug management program.

Curiously, some of the active ingredients in EcoRaider and Bed Bug Patrol are also found in some of the other tested products that exhibited very low rates of efficacy, an indication that the products inactive ingredients are also important.

Other factors besides the active ingredients must have accounted for the high efficacy of some essential oil-based pesticides, the authors wrote. Adjuvants such as wetting agents, spreaders, stabilizers, defoamers, stickers, and solvents may produce synergistic effects to essential oils by improving penetration through insect cuticle and translocation of the active ingredients within insect body.

Bed Bug Self-Treatment – Kill Bed Bugs

Self-Treatments and Do-it Yourself Bed Bug Killing and Removal

Here are some Bed Bug do-it-yourself Tips before you call an exterminator:

Some people have had success doing self-treatments and exterminations.

Prepare an insecticide mixture of pyrethrins and fresh-water diatomaceous earth. At least one manufacturer produces a household insecticide D-20 with only .2% naturally derived pyrethrins and 1.0% Piperonyl Butoxide, which magnifies the pyrethrins effectivenes by 10 times. Natural pyrethrins are more expensive than many alternatives. The function of the pyrethrins is to stimulate the nervous system of the bugs so that the spasms will allow the diatomaceous earth to desiccate, puncture, and kill the bugs through mechanical action. Great care should be taken not to use products with salt-water diatomaceous earth or heat-treated diatomaceous earth, which can damage the lungs of any mammal (dogs, cats, or humans) which inhale it, and has also been known to cause cancer. Fresh-water diatomaceous earth, however, is commonly used to deworm cats, dogs, and humans, and is considered as safe as table salt.

Others have used fruit and vegetable insecticides, comprised of a mixture of pyrethins and canola oil, which are usually safe for humans and most pets (aside from fish).

Contrary to popularly disseminated information, extreme heat or extreme cold is usually not effective in eliminating bedbugs. Pest control professionals receive reports of infestations even in the dead of winter, and manufactured environments of extreme heat or cold (such as encasing a mattress in a bag and placing it in direct sunlight, or placing a suspect piece of bedding or clothing in a freezer) usually cannot stay consistently hot or cold enough to sufficiently kill bedbugs, which are not particularly sensitive to temperature extremes. In addition, since bedbugs normally disperse, treatment of a bed or mattress is insufficient to eradicate an infestation.

If you have tried theses methods and you still can't get rid of bed bugs, you may need to hire a professional. A qualified exterminator uses stronger insecticides to kill bedbugs. Repeated treatments may be necessary to ensure that all bedbugs are killed.

Bed bugs are tiny parasitic insects that are flat and oval in shape and reddish brown in color. Bed bugs flourish in all sorts of environments and can be found in beddings, clothes, linen, furniture, boxes, cases, cracks in the wall, and crevices in the floor. Bed bugs tend to congregate around places where humans sit or sleep, as they feed on the blood of humans for sustenance. When bed bugs suck blood from humans, the bite itself can sometimes go unnoticed; however, the area of the bite tends to get inflamed and irritated causing a red rash to develop. Bed bug bites tend to be small and red and can be either flat or raised on the skin. A characteristic pattern of bed bug bites is several bites lined up in row indicating that feeding occurs in a sequence. Scratching bed bug bites may cause a secondary skin infection and should be avoided.

Treatment for Bed Bug Bites Include:

Wash the affected area with a gentle soap and water before applying a thick paste of baking soda and water. Let this paste dry on the skin for a few hours before rinsing it off. This is a popular home remedy for bed bug bites that helps reduce itching and inflammation of the skin. A paste made of aspirin and water works in the same way and can be used to treat bed bug bites.

Pest control originally refers to the control, management or regulation of pests. Pests can harm a persons health, the ecology and a countrys economy.

Pest control has been around for a very long time, dating to the time when the concept of agriculture first came up. Why? While growing crops is one aspect of agriculture, controlling pests is another important aspect to be considered. This is obviously because crops attract pests which damage them and render them useless.

That said, pest control has become an important thing to be considered in every household today. In the United States, Raccoons cause havoc at homes by tearing apart garbage covers. Flies are attracted to food or food wastes. And if you have a lot of greenery around your home, then there are obviously going to be a lot of mosquitoes too. To nullify the threats of all these pests calling an agency which offers pest control services is advisable.

Talking about pests brings us to another kind of pest found within your homes. Bed Bugs. This calls for immediate bed bug removal NJ.

What are these bed bugs? Bed bugs are oval brown insects which are found around your homes in cracks and crevices or in the seams of your mattresses. These parasites feed on the hosts blood and normally make their move when the hosts are asleep.

Bed bugs can be identified by surveying your home for them. Most bed bug bites do not pain at first, but they turn into itchy sensations. What most people might do is that they attribute the itching to smaller issues like mosquito bites. The only way to distinguish between a mosquito bite and a bed bug bite is to physically search for the bed bugs and find out where they are. The most probable places where these parasites might attack you is the ankle or any other part of your body that is exposed while you are asleep.

Animals die in various ways, either of natural causes or in accidents. The term Roadkill refers to animals that have been killed in road accidents. It is not advisable to put the carcasses of these animals in normal disposal bags, the way other things might be disposed. Removing the carcasses of animals is a serious things and is best, when left to the experts. Contacting your local government authority to remove the animals carcass from the road or the neighborhood or wherever you spot them is the wisest thing to do.
