Having a bed bug infestation in your home or business can be a very traumatizing event.  Sleeping often becomes a thing of the past as your once peaceful nighttime is riddled with thoughts of creepy little blood sucking parasites visiting you in your bed.

Once bed bugs are discovered, you must wash and dry all of your clothing in hot water, then bag clothing up so that the disgusting pests can’t make a home in them.  You must remove all clutter from your home.  You must vacuum everything in site as bed bugs are masters at hiding.  You can find these bugs hanging out in mattresses, box springs, headboards, dressers, nightstands, picture frames, baseboards, electrical outlets, carpets, and behind wallpaper. They are even known to crawl inside of electronic devices; which makes it even more difficult to spot them.  Cell phones, laptops, televisions, clocks, gaming systems, etc. are not off limits to these buggers!  Sadly, out of frustration, many people simply toss out their belongings for fear of bed bugs hiding inside.

Without government regulation in the US, citizens would have no idea what chemicals they are being subjected to.  No matter what your position is, we should all be glad that we live in the United States where we have laws to protect us.  Regulating pesticides and the application process helps keep our citizens safe.

There is always a debate in the United States about whether the government is regulating what pesticides are available and the pesticide application process too much or too little.  Add into the argument the fact that DDT is no longer available in the US, and you can have a heated discussion for hours.

I recently read an article about the how pesticides are being managed, or better yet, not managed, in Abu Dhabi.  It seems that in their municipality, only one pest control company is approved by the government to apply pesticides to parks, beaches, and other government owned buildings.  This company is regulated by the government.  All other pest control companies are not regulated, and as a result, citizens are at risk.

It was recently reported that two babies died in Abu Dhabi because their home was fumigated for bed bugs by an unregulated pest control company.  In another incident, entire families became ill in an apartment building, because of the chemicals sprayed by another unregulated pest control company.  It’s understandable that the parents of the children who became ill are now questioning the government as to why there are not any regulations for pest control companies.

The Environmental Protection Agency previously stated that there are no severe health outcomes as a result of the exposure to the use of the pesticide Propoxur.  What do you think about this issue?  Feel free to leave us a comment.

The question remains as to what the Environmental Protection Agency will do in regards to this matter.  We know that this insecticide will work in the fight against bed bugs and that it will be very cost effective to consumers.  If the EPA already deemed it to be a safe chemical to use, what would the trouble be in releasing it nationwide?  People who don’t believe that we are having a bed bug epidemic should speak to just one family who has encountered these blood suckers.  They are very difficult to get rid of and will rattle even the calmest of nerves!  Is Propoxur the magic bullet in the war against bed bugs?  That remains to be seen.

Some bed bug experts have other treatment options in their arsenal that have proven effective.  Bed bug monitors, mattresses encasements, bed bug sniffing dogs, Cryonite, heat killing chamber, and other products are some of the things that Stern Environmental Group uses in their treatment program.

A Mom and her son in North Carolina had been sleeping with the lights on hoping that whatever was biting them in the dark would stop.  A recent trip to the pediatrician’s office unearthed the problem…bed bugs!  The doctor informed the Mom that the nighttime bloodsuckers had to be lurking in the dark corners of her apartment waiting for the perfect time to feed on their unsuspecting hosts.

Just like in New Jersey and New York, North Carolina has experienced a significant increase in bed bug problems.  In hopes of trying to get a handle on the problem, the Mom decided to throw away her couch and beds.  Many people don’t know that you don’t need to throw away expensive furniture if you have a bed bug infestation problem.
