Bed bugs resistant to chemicals scientifically proven!

Last week produced a flurry of journalism on the research out of the Virginia Technical Institute that found the genetic mechanism of a bed bug’s anatomy that allows them to break down harmful chemicals such as pyrethroids. Pyrethroids are the most used chemical in Canada available to pest control companies in order to kill and control bed bugs, and yet most bed bug populations have developed some level of resistance to it.

This is the reason most companies that only treat bed bugs with a chemical approach are failing in their attempts to eradicate bed bugs, because the bed bugs are able to process the chemicals into non-harmful products within their system.

In relation to this and the findings at the N.A Bed bug Summit, Steve’s Pest Management has fully revamped our protocols for treating bed bugs and has developed an even more effective process for dealing with this tough pest.
