Ken...this is deborah from Long Island...I think keeping some of the bugs alive gives you an opportunity to experiment with them and then hopefully pass along...
Hi Deb, That is part of the reason I am collecting and saving the BB's, to do my own experiments. Now I'm starting to sound Bela Lugosi in a mad doctor movie....

Sherona...you could get some DDT..you live in So. Africa...if I were you I would try really hard to get my hands on some...I don't think bbs really are ...
ok...maybe there are, but I'll take a few less birds and no bbs...any day of the week...DDT is the ONLY known chemical to kill the eggs so the population can ...
Parakeets..what do you mean that hotels and pest managements are banding together?? do you mean to keep things hush hush??? Or to invest in an effective ...
Ken, If you have any spare BBs at some point, I'd love to know how long the BBs last in the freezer. I'd like to know this because it would be a help to those...
Hotels and pest management industry are in cahoots to protect their own financial interestes--hotels so they don't lose a bundle (they can be sued, and people...
I mostly get bed bug bites across my upper back. I also had them on my neck and even in my ears and forehead, and on my upper arms on the outside. Some on my...

Deb, I am a greeny environmentalist, and I have bedbugs. I am also a realist and I think there is a difference between spraying DDT in a controlled manner in...
Hi Lucille...Did your bldg. get rid of the bugs or do you still have them??? It's not good to keep to much clutter around...maybe you can buy those large...
My (Parakeet's) "bird cage" is in a nice up-scale suburb immediately west of Boston. Funny, when I called the Board of Health in my town about my bed bugs...
