What's the best "bug bomb" or fogger for killing and treating bed bugs?

Using foggers in your home yourself is risky for your health. You would be better off with an exterminator or even getting rid of the bed first. The EPA recommends first verifying that you HAVE bedbugs by taking a carcass of a bug to an exterminator.

The best way to deal with bed bugs is by sealing your mattress and pillows with a plastic or hypoallergenic zipped cover. This traps the bugs that are inside your pillow and prevents them from feeding and kills them over time - remember, a nymph can live for two months without feeding, an adult can survive more than 12 months. Wash all your linens and place them in a hot dryer for 20 minutes (or you can freeze them at -5 C or below for five days).

You can vacuum to capture bed bugs and their eggs, but because the eggs are embedded to the fabric, you may have to scrape the surface. Once you have vacuumed everything, immediately place the vacuum bag into a plastic bad, seal it tight and dispose (outside). You can place glue boards or sticky tape around your bed and in the room to catch the bed bugs as the move around; this gives you a way to monitor the effectiveness of your efforts.

There are also bed bug traps you can purchase to capture bedbugs safely (meaning non-toxically). Do not apply any pesticide to mattresses or surfaces that would come in contact with the skin unless the pesticide specifically states that the product can be used in this manner. An exterminator will likely cost between $800 and $1000 (according to the EPA).

Getting rid of bed bugs is not an easy task. Even exterminators agree that it's very difficult to kill the pests. Bed bugs are quite resilient.

They can survive in hot or cold environments. They can go up to a year without feeding. They reproduce quickly.

And the bugs will attach themselves to clothing, shoes, and luggage to catch a ride to a new home. Foggers that are used to kill other bugs would definitely kill the bugs if they stayed in the room, but they will flee through cracks and crevices, taking up residence in another room, or returning to the original room once the fog has dissipated. There are strong arguments against using a fogger designed for a different insect unless it's done by a professional.

Bed bugs are very secretive, as well, and hide most of the time. They don't make nests and the bugs themselves are usually not seen. However there are tell-tale signs like dark spots on the mattress, or most obvious, bites on the body.

Suggestions for getting rid of some of the bugs include thoroughly vacuuming the mattress, and the entire room paying particular attention to any cracks and likely hiding places for the little insects. Anything washable in the room should be washed in very hot water or placed into a very hot dryer for a little while. Storing extra blankets or bedding in plastic bags will help, too.

Confirming that you actually have bed bugs can be tricky as well. One suggestion is putting carpeting tape in various areas near the bed with the sticky side up for a few days. Bed bugs come out of hiding only to feed which can be only once a week, but if there is an infestation, some of them will get stuck to the tape.To date, there isn't a fool proof way of getting rid of the bugs without getting rid of the bed.

Although there are a number of products on the market that may help somewhat, none seem to guarantee success. You can try to avoid spreading them, or worse, taking them home with you by checking for signs of bed bugs at hotels. Put your luggage on the rack or in the bathtub when you get to your room, just in case.

If you think there might be bed bugs, ask for a different room. If you think you have them in your home, call a professional.It's very doubtful that you can get rid of them by yourself.

No doubt, many of people are continuously trying to get rid of bed bugs completely by DIY practices but it may be proved harmful to use toxic substances. Professional pest control teams know how to tackle with present situation and which environment needs what kind of treatment according to their research and thorough study.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
