Bed Bug Eradication

In modern years, the resurgence of bed bugs infestations has been greatly attributed to an increase in international travel, as well as a restriction in the use of powerful pest-killing pesticides such as Ddt that previously controlled the creepy slight bloodsuckers.

Even with the restrictions on some pesticides, there are still a wide range of sprays and insecticides ready for you to choose from.

However, the qoute is with so many of the sprays claiming to be the best "bed bug killer" out there - the process to find one that will unquestionably work effectively against these bloodsucking pests can become overwhelming.

So how do you know which spray to choose from and, what else do you need to know before you make that purchase?

First of all, an prominent fact that needs to be point out is that while there are many sprays that will kill those pesky bloodsuckers, there are no "ideal" sprays, insecticides or pesticides that are artificial solely just for getting rid of bed bugs yet. And sprays are a not cure-all explication and every situation or "infestation" is different.

Nevertheless, in choosing the best spray to kill those bloodsucking pests, a good spray should at least meet the following criteria:

• The spray should be registered with the United States Environmental security agency (for security and capability standards so that we know they are not using any harmful agents or chemicals.)
• The spray must be able to kill bed bugs abruptly in all stages of their life cycles (that along with their eggs.)
• The spray must be cost efficient and easy to administer (meaning it should be affordable and, if possible, no mixing required to get the job done.)
• The spray should be safe and non-toxic for use colse to children and pets.
• The spray should be water-base and non-staining so that it can be use on sofas, carpets and furniture oftentimes and at all times. (Some sprays are oil-base and you may not be able to use them on sofa or mattress where most of the bed bugs hide. Furthermore, oil-base agents are not allowed to be carried on plane if case you needed to bring one along on your travels.)
• If potential the spray should be non-flammable. (Some residual sprays are flammable so read the labels thought about before using them to preclude accidental fire.)

Residual vs Non-Residual Sprays

The option to choose between a residual and non-residual spray unquestionably depends on where are the places that you would like to treat. Residual sprays are great for applying in cracks, cervices or holes however they cannot and should never be applied to mattress or furniture such as a sofa where there are frequent human contact.

Another conjecture that you may want to consider using non-residual spray would be the fact that residual spray may leave excess moisture that may ruin a furniture or cause molds to breed.

Keep the above ideas in mind as you consider choosing the best spray that might help you with your bed bug problems.
