Hi bedbuggers, I have a question regarding the reintroduction of "stuff" into a house. The situation: we had our bedroom treated 3 times in six weeks by a PCO,...
Today when I was at Home Depot on W. 23rd St., NYC, I saw a spray that was specifically for bed bugs and mites. When I looked at the ingredients, pyrethrin...
Hello Sue Ray, A recent study by Dr. Dini Miller (see PCT Magazine V34 N12 Dec. '06 p66) whereby filter paper was sprayed with pesticide and then field...
Hey there - I just wanted to say it was so good being able to talk with some of you last weekend to celebrate the one-year anniversary of this group. Nice to...
This question is for anyone, but I was advised specifically to ask Lou: Do we know how effective Gentrol is? I get that it's an IGR, and it sounded like a...
Hi Sara, The most recent study on Gentrol shows that is does not inhibit growth, and does not prevent bed bugs from laying eggs. Eventually the bed bugs do...
I would rather not heat or freeze it (expensive) or throw it out (also expensive). I don't think its heavily infested. Should I just dust it with DE and / or...
I had a call from someone who had been to HD and told me that the containers were going quickly. Sprayway, Inc. is the company and Good Night Dust Mite Killer...

Here's my deal: So back in October or thereabouts I realized I had bedbugs; I had frequent bites and they would be crawling around at night, etc. There were a...
I am having a slightly tough time with my current PCO. Here is the schedule of treatments, all employees from the same company: Dec 8 - Mike treated the...
I am posting this to the group as per Deb's request. Again I have limited knowledge on the topic – repellency of insecticides, and the question should really...
Sara..I only have time for a short reply, but..if your bedroom hasn't been treated in a month, and you are still getting bitten, then by all means you are due ...
Thank you Bonnie. Nice job! Do you think we can spread information faster than bedbugs? Please, to people speaking to the media in the future, do not fail to...
Thanks Deb for posting this. Just by the way, if we all logged into the NYT website and used their interface to email a copy of this article to ourselves and...
ES...I don't know what to tell you....I agree with everything you say..But you need legal help...I have tried to get to the Media with this..they just don't ...
Repellency and a repellent are two different things. BASICALLY Repellency is when a material is applied to kill a pest but the target insect can detect the...
For anyone who had trouble before, the bedbugregistry.com is working just fine now. k Geoffrey Day <dialhelp@...> wrote: Thank you Bonnie. Nice job!...
Hey Deb, thanks for this advice. I think the PCO knows how long their life cycles are, and how long it takes eggs to hatch. He is fine with coming back every...
Hello Sara, There are MANY factors that determine how long the residual of a pesticide lasts (UV, heat, humidity, abrasion etc.). As a general rule pesticides...
I know that some of the chemicals like Suspend, degrade faster when exposed to light, and of course vacuuming would pick up some of the chemical, and I have...
i just had my building inspected by a K-9 inspector -really! he's trained to search out bedbugs along the same line as drug and bomb sniffing dogs. He was...
Hi Sean, Thank you so, so much for this detailed response. I really appreciate your clarity. I don't know if Suspend and D-Force are water-based or oil-based,...
