Continuing from Wednesday…

• What’s the label say? – One type of pesticide is not interchangeable for another type.  If you choose to use a pesticide for any type of creepy crawly bug…bed bug included…you should read the label to see if the pesticide you are intending on using is able to handle a bed bug infestation.  Many consumers make the wrong choice and improperly apply pesticides which cause bed bugs to spread and multiply.  New Jersey pest control experts report that some consumers have also been found to use products such as kerosene, alcohol, bleach, ammonia, wasp sprays, etc. for bed bug infestation treatments.  Not only do these do-it-yourself treatments prove to be ineffective for the treatment of bed bugs, they can also pose a fire hazard because many of the products used are flammable!

You can avoid a New York or New Jersey bed bug infestation in your home by checking hotels and motels for bed bugs while you travel and checking your child’s belongings each day when he or she returns home from school as well.  Accepting or purchasing used furniture might seem like a great bargain initially, but you never know what is lurking deep within the fabric fibers and interior structure of the furniture piece in question.  Many people have unwittingly caused a bed bug infestation in their home via used furniture acceptance so it is wise to buy new products and still inspect all furniture prior to it entering your home.
