What makes bedbugs so difficult to eradicate?  Is it mobility? Lack of needs? The Ability to adapt? Breeding? Or all of the above?

Here are Four Key Focus Points:

1. Mobility. A bedbug can be found 30 to 40 feet away from primary blood source sites, like beds, for example, and can hitch a ride on people and pets.
2. Bedbugs can live up to 1 year without feeding.
3. Bedbugs build up resistance to most pesticides.
4. Female bedbugs can lay up to 500 eggs in their lifetime. Their lifespan can be one year or greater. It only takes 6-8 weeks for a newly hatched bedbug to become a breeding adult.

Eradication:

To successfully eradicate an infestation of bedbugs “dust is a must”. Be sure to apply dust to every crack, crevice and void throughout the entire structure. Be thorough and liberal. Nothing should not be overlooked. My dust choice is a desiccant dust. There has not been a single report of resistance to desiccant dust; they have a very high mortality rate. If applied as described here, 100% mortality is 12 times more likely.  If the desiccant dust is applied using the Exacticide, 100% mortality is 24 times more likely. Exacticide users have reported that the Exacticide is the number one tool in their bedbug arsenal.  Inspect the areas 10 days after the first treatment and not a day sooner.  See https://www.technicide.com/bedbugs for treatment locations.

Dust is a must! And the Exacticide will improveyour success rate on every service.
