Non-Toxic or Pesticide? You Decide

There are two types of Bed Bug Sprays on the market today. You can choose the non toxic natural Bed Bug Spray or the pesticide Bed Bug Spray. Both Bed Bug Sprays are effective. The article will help you understand how they work and what they can do for you.

In 2010 the EPA created an Integrated Pest Management regimen for treating bed bugs in the United States. This is the same regimen that DeadBedBugs has been following for years prior to this announcement. We hope the information in the video and on this webpage will be beneficial to your success in finding the right Bed Bug Spray to serve your needs.

Pesticide Bed Bug Spray There are typically two types of toxic bed bug sprays; a water base form and an oil base form. The water base bed bug spray usually includes a poison called deltamethrin which is a residual product and lasts several weeks or months.

All available testing of deltamethrin based bed bug sprays show it to be about 50% less effective than the oil base contact killing spray which generally include some type of pyrethrin and piperonylbutoxide base toxic chemical. However, they are do have residual effectiveness for up to six weeks. Many states do not allow deltamethrins in concentrated forms because of environmental concerns.

Many pyrethrin based Bed Bug sprays like Kills Bed Bugs Red label, have a short active duration and becomes ineffective within a day of use.

Both of these toxic-based bed bug sprays contain some form of pesticide; however the bed bugs have grown an immunity to many pesticides. This means they no longer work effectively on bed bugs! Some Exterminators are making a fortune from continuing to spray for bed bugs as though they are spraying for roaches and the traditional methods dont work any longer. That is why the bed bug infestation problem is getting worse.

Some exterminators offer both a natural and a toxic way to treat bed bugs; therefore ask before you just invite him in your home. Typically, you must leave the home for ventilating purposes and can not sleep in your bed for one to two nights after the bedroom has been sprayed with many toxic pesticidal formulas.

This product is commercial strength and is recommended for indoor as well as outdoor use. This product is EPA registered and approved for bed bugs. Does require ventilating treated room before re use.
