Tips & Tricks: 3 tips for controlling bed bugs

Mel Whitson

Bed bugs are notoriously challenging to control, thanks to resistance issues and the rate at which they multiply. Here are three things to consider when controlling these pests:

1. Not all bed bugs are created equal. Products perform differently depending on the strain of bed bug.
2. Be wary of resistance. Look for products that have multiple active ingredients to ensure that treatment is effective.
3. Try using aerosols in your arsenal. Aerosols can cover hard-to-reach spaces like wall cavities, cracks and crevices.
