Do you have bed bug problems? Well fret no longer. Wil-Kil announced today that their second canine bed bug killer has arrived. She goes by the name of Daisy who will now join Max, the first known dog bed bug killer to help fight off the bed bug plague.

Wil-Kil has developed a new way to address the bed bug problem/s by using a dog paired with their innovative heat treatment service. The said service has proven to be the most effective solution for detecting and treating bed bugs.

“Bed bugs are a year-round national problem, due primarily to an increase in global travel and difficulty in proper treatment methods. A bed bug canine can save customers time and money because our dogs will detect the bed bugs within minutes, versus hours with the human eye,” said Randy Allen, regional manager of Wil-Kil. “Once the bed bugs are detected by Max or Daisy, one of our Heat Remediation Specialists will treat the bed bugs with our heat treatment process, which can be done within 24 hours.”

Bed Bug Killer Powder

Bed bugs are more serious than we think. Aside from giving us sleepless nights and potential allergies, the proper way to treat them starts on how you find them. And thanks to the Stern Environment Group, a new device may lead us towards properly monitoring the presence and behavior of these cursed bed bugs through their monitoring device, the NighWatch Bed Bug Monitors.

There are several types of bed bug monitors and the prices range widely from $5 to $1,000. Some of the most interesting new products are NightWatch from BioSensory, CDC 3000 by Cimex Science, soon to be released BB Alert Active from MIDMOS, Climbup Insect Interceptor from Susan McKnight Inc., and the Bug Dome for bed bugs by Silvandersson under the name of Silvatronic.

These bed bug monitors actually have a bed bug blood meal lure, and in some case a CO2 source to imitate a human body presence to actively attract bed bugs. These new bed bug tools are proving to be game changers in early identification of a bed bug problem.

Ask Protect-A-Bed for your Bed Bug Issues

We all know that bed bugs are increasingly becoming irritating as far as getting good sleep on our beds. While we may have a lot of alternatives in handling them, an eco-friendly way to exterminate them and finally get that much longed for sleep is within reach.

K4 products has produced an eco-friendly solution in the form of the EcoBugFree which is non-toxic and leaves no trace of harmful pesticide residue when you may decide to lay on bed. This way, you worry less about your kids who may be affected by standard chemicals used to rid bed bugs. With the EcoBugFree, you are safe and helping to create a better environment.

“Efficacy studies have been done on traditional bed bug treatments and we are learning that the old methods of eradicating the pests are becoming less effective. The bugs are more difficult to kill now because they have become immune to the use of neurotoxin. Since you’re going to need multiple applications to rid yourself of these nasty pests, most people would prefer to use a less-toxic method like EcoBugFree.”

EcoBugFree The Bed Bugs that Bite!

Though the bed bugs may not be immediately seen but can wreak havoc in our journey towards safe and sound sleep, we can always look for alternatives. This does not mean you have to use the normal aerosols everyday when you are not lying on your bed. There are solutions called bed bug barriers that can trap and kill these pesky bugs which deprive you of comfortable sleep.

There are various solutions offered by most bed companies. Companies such as Bed Bath and Beyond and Allergy Solutions Inc., have developed programs for this growing issue. Given the right emphasis, these bed bugs may yet be the thing of the past once we start to fight them with the arsenal provided by these bed companies.

“Just a couple of years ago, it was a pest that not many people had seen. Now, virtually every pest control company that we’re in contact with is dealing with regular bedbug incidents,” said Greg Baumann, vice president of Technical Services for the National Pest Management Association.

Because bedbugs are primarily associated with mattresses, some companies are now designing protective products for bedding. London Luxury LLC has just introduced a collection of “bed bug barrier bedding,” mattress and pillow protectors, available through Bed Bath & Beyond.

Allergy Solutions Inc. also sells mattress encasements, as do Protect-A-Bed and National Allergy Supply’s Bedcare line. The Harvard School of Public Health says any encasement that is used for protection from the dust mite is sufficient for much larger bed bugs.

Fight Bed Bugs with Protect-A-Bed

As far as dealing with these dreaded bed bugs, people are going crazy on what alternative solutions to take to be able to get rid of them. Pest control systems are offered by the pros but for bed bug issues, it would be best to see what is on the market that you can do on your own.

One such solution is the Cryonite poison-free green treatment for bed bugs and pests. It sprays carbon dioxide snow on your bed or mattress, going to work to hunt down those unseen bugs.

Cryonite, due to its rapid freezing of pests and their eggs, has been found to be highly effective as a treatment against even chemically resistant bed bugs. Cryonite has been used in Europe and Australia with excellent results, but has just been recently introduced into the United States market. Stern Environmental Group was one of the first firms in the United States to embrace this new technology to successfully fight a growing problem of pesticide resistant bed bugs in New Jersey and the New York City metropolitan region.

A Cryonite for Bed Bugs

Things such as your suitcases, shoes and clothes are sitting ducks to which bed bugs use as their way of commuting and invading clean homes. No one can tell about their presence although some itching and eagle-eyed observations can really do the trick.

To avoid them you just have to be careful. Once you get home after a trip, try to change your clothes and put your baggage somewhere far from beds or even sofas.

First, know that high-end hotels are not immune to bed bugs. Steritech, a pest control company, studied 700 hotels and 24 percent of them had bed bug activity.

Defend what you can control. At home, encase your mattress in plastic and make sure the zipper teeth are small and tight. Tests have shown that beg bugs can’t get through the plastic or zipper.

“Most people keep suitcases under their beds. Experts say this is the worst place to store luggage. You may be inviting bedbugs to bed with you,” NBC 5′s Meredith Land reported.

Experts also added that after a trip, seal your luggage in garbage bags and unpack outside. Additionally, keep hard goods, such as cosmetics and souvenirs, in ziplock bags.
