Bed Bugs
Bed bugs can be a very big
nuisance if you are unlucky enough to get an
infestation of them. Bites can be very irritating and leave a swelling.
Biology: Bed bugs are about 1/5 of an inch long, with small reduced
wing pads. They cannot fly but travel from house to house on their
host. When engorged they become bright red. Evidence of bed bugs is
the numerous fecal discharges of blood on the linen. Some people will
have a reaction to their bites, while others show little or no effect.
Control: Use
Drione Dust in a
Crusader Duster to dust the cracks and
crevices of the bed frame and the mattress springs. Wash the linens and
covers. Spray the mattress walls with Lice
Killer Aerosol which
contains a synthetic pyrethrum. Repeat again in 5 days. For chronic or
severe infestations use Suspend to spray any parts of the house (except
bedding) that needs to be treated.
Bats and birds have parasites that are very similar to bed bugs. If
you have bats or birds nesting in the attic these should definitely be
removed and the attic dusted with drione dust to stop the migration of
the bird or bat bugs and other parasites into your living area.
Drione Dust is $32 / pound
Crusader Duster is $15 each
Lice Killer
Aerosol is $11.50 / 13 oz. can
Suspend is $59.95 per pint, makes 10 gallons of finished spray
