Effective control methods include:
- Heat: improper heat treatment has caused house fires
- All sorts of poisons: poisoning not just the bugs
- Diatomaceous earth: Using the wrong kind, or using it improperly can cause diseases like silicosis
And all the creative yet incredibly stupid things people think of when they are desperate.
But done properly these techniques work with minimal risk. The same can be said of Ivermectin.
- mrtesthah 3y agoDon’t forget the use of organophosphate insecticides in the form of Nuvan Prostrips, which are chemically similar to nerve gas for humans. BTW Cimexa is the current best practice for desiccating bed bugs upon contact, and, unlike diatomaceous earth, is approved for use in human living areas.
