Green Earth Homecare Bed Bug & Crawling Insect Killer Dust contains the active ingredient Silicon Dioxide, also known as Diatomaceous Earth. This active is a naturally occurring, soft, siliceous sedimentary rock that is easily crumbled into a fine off-white powder. It consists of the fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled algae. We do use a food grade Diatomaceous earth, as well as two food grade attractants of yeast and honey. Diatomaceous Earth does not control insects by toxicity, but by cutting action. Once the powder scratches, or cuts the insect it literally dries them up causing death within as little as 48 hours. Our Diatomaceous Earth products are safe to use around your children and pets, provided the products are applied in a manner that will avoid inhalation of the dust.

Consequently, measures are urgently needed to determine whether bedbugs are present in a dwelling, in order to implement control measures. Yet these small creatures are notoriously difficult to find, and current methods for detecting bed bugs are somewhat clunky and expensive.

The good news is that researchers from Simon Fraser University in Canada recently reported the recipe for the signal that bedbugs use to find one another.

This should make it much easier to rouse the little critters from their hiding places and determine whether they are causing an infestation, and it might also be useful for exterminating them.

The first step in conducting these experiments was to grow a colony of bed bugs. This was a challenging prospect, as bed bugs only feed on blood. One of the scientists in the study, a member of a husband and wife research team, volunteered her arms for nearly 200,000 bites to keep the colony healthy and growing. (Her husband apparently wasnt a suitable donor, as he developed a severe itch when bitten.) As a consequence of all this feeding, the bed bugs produced a large volume of shed skin and feces, which was the raw material for isolating the aggregation signal.

The scientists used chemicals to extract the key components that caused bed bugs to aggregate from 18,000 of their shed skins. It took about 18 months to collect the number of skins needed for their experiments.

They also allowed 300 bed bugs to poop on pieces of paper for a month, and then analyzed the fecal material contained on the paper with a machine called a gas chromatograph/mass spectrophotometer to detect the various individual components excreted by the bed bugs.

To test whether they found the correct compound, the researchers put bed bugs in a central round glass container, connected by small tubular passageways to two other containers with either a control scent or a test scent they had extracted from bed bug skin and feces. They then allowed the bed bugs to roam the chambers overnight, and determined where they ended up the next morning. If the bed bugs were attracted to the test scent over the control scent, the researchers knew they were on to something. By testing a variety of compounds isolated from the bed bug skins and feces, the researchers ultimately determined that a cocktail of histamine plus five other volatile chemicals was sufficient to attract and keep bed bugs in place. As the final test, the scientists went into infested apartments in Vancouver, British Columbia, and determined that their scent mixtures did effectively attract bed bugs in the wild.

This research will hopefully lead to more effective ways of detecting and eliminating bed bugs from a dwelling, and thereby eliminate the rashes and sleepless nights experienced by people who share their homes with these nasty little creatures.

Bed bugs discovery closes Rogersville senior center, library

ROGERSVILLE - The Rogersville Senior Center and H.B. Stamps Public Library, which share a building in downtown Rogersville, were evacuated Thursday around noon afterbedbugswere detected during a routine pest inspection.

Hawkins County Mayor Melville Bailey said a pest control contractor reported that the bed bugs were discovered in the hallway that connects the senior center and the library.

That hallway is carpeted, has cloth furniture, and contains restrooms used by both the library and senior center.

(The exterminator) thinks the bedbugs are confined to the foyer, Bailey said. We called the state health department and they recommended we close the senior citizens center and the library since they are adjoining.

Bailey said the pest control inspection Thursday was routine and there were no previous complaints of infestation prior to the exterminator's report late Thursday morning.

About 25 people were in the senior center when the evacuation was ordered. To his knowledge, no one from the library or senior center has complained of bites, Bailey added.

As seniors left the Senior Center they were informed of Health Department recommendations on how to prevent spreading an infestation.

Seniors were told to go home, remove their clothing, place it in a bag, and take a thorough shower. Then they should wash the clothing in hot water and then dry it in a dryer on the hottest setting.

Q. I have a blanket and a through and a sheet on my bed, do I have to dispose of them or could I clean them with something and save them?

A. You can wash the items in hot water in order to kill any bed bugs. The ideal temperature for treatment is about 113-115 degrees Fahrenheit.

Q. Resistance Unraveled

I read recently in a trade magazine that bed bugs are building up a tolerance to pyrethrins. How does this happen? If a bed bug is killed by a pyrethrin it's dead. How do the other bed bugs begin to build up a tolerance? How do bed bugs in another location build up a tolerance?

We can blame Natural Selection at the increasing resistance of a number of insects to pesticides. Biological traits and natural adaptation are the reasons why a number of weeds are resistant to some herbicides and some rodents still survive after digesting rodenticide-laden food or traps. The same can be said of people who seem to have better immune systems.

In the case of common, there are studies and proof that they have become resistant to synthetic pyrethroids. Synthetic pyrethroids are man-made version of pyrethrin and are made from petroleum derivatives. Pyrethrin, on the other hand, is an organic compound that attacks and paralyzes insects' nervous systems. Over the years, the insecticide industry has been dependent of synthetic products and in effect helping produce the next generation of bugs which are immune to its effects.

While pyrethrin is a better choice, there have been studies that showed cockroaches recovering from pyrethrin treatments. Recent insecticides that contain pyrethrin are now manufactured with one or two synergists for added efficacy. Other studies have shown that bed bugs have become immune to the deadly effects of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), a water soluble insecticide. And since pyrethroids and DDT share some similar modes of action in attacking nervous systems of insects, a number of bugs are also considered immune to pyrethroids.

However, the concern of most people is the effect of synthetic pyrethroids, Are they still effective against insect infestation? Can synthetic pyrethroids create "super bugs"? The answer is yes and no. The bugs may look like they are adapting to the affects - some species are hardly taken down by the treatments, while others take longer or stronger doses to die. What we are seeing is the survival of the fittest, their genetic composition may have the capability to block certain effects of the insecticide. When these surviving bugs reproduce, their offspring are likewise resistant to the insecticide.

It travel by breeding and finding temporary shelter in clothing. From there they could set up shop in almost anywhere in the country. Their survival has always depended on moving and breeding in places that could give them the most ideal living conditions and food sources. Their ancestors have survived through this strategy and must have passed on genes that have better resistance on the effects of pyrethroids.

Dr. Mike Potter of the University of Kentucky said that some populations of the common bed bug have shown 1000x factor of resistance to synthetic pyrethroids. This means that the effect of the said compound is likely to have no effect of the target insects.

Bedbugs are a pest for any home owner. They usually hide in the seams of the mattresses and come out at night. They situate themselves around the headboard and bed area. They pose a danger to home owners because they bite and spread very easily, making it possible for them to live in more than one bedroom.

With our services we can help you get rid of this nightmare and get a good nights sleep. A technician will come to your home and used methods approved by the Ministry of Environment.

HOW WE TREAT FOR BED BUGS

The steam treatment is used mainly for the mattress, while the others are applied to the bedroom(s) and surrounding areas. The bedroom will be treated with the spray chemicals. They are mostly situated for the baseboards, crack, and crevices etc. This process is very thorough and forces the bugs to come out of their hiding spots and come in contact with the chemicals. Home owners will be asked to vacate their homes for a period of time after the treat for bed bugs. This procedure is very efficient in exterminating the bugs.

Because the process is so thorough and we want to ensure that the bedbugs are gone there is a preparation process that has to be followed. You can find this on our website under the bed bug prep. We look forward in helping you get rid of this nightmare.

Bed bugs are often found in high traffic areas including hotels and hospitals. People often bring bed bugs with them from another area that is already infested. If left untreated, bed bugs can cause tons of problems. In a lifetime, they can lay hundreds of eggs.

We are licensed professionals that deal with bed bugs every single day. We are here to serve you. We have been fighting bed bugs for years.
