RECENT INNOVATIONS: Aerosols can be an excellent fit for bed bug management because they solve several practical problems technicians can run into during their service. Because of their tendency to squeeze into tiny harborages, cracks and seams, applicators need tools that can target bed bugs directly in the cryptic areas where they hide.
D-Fense NXT aerosol is a reliable choice for managing many tough-to-control pests in and around the structure, including bed bugs. Equipped with a 360-degree valve and flip-up actuator with a crack-and-crevice tip, it allows applicators to treat directly into hidden spaces that may be more difficult to reach with other formulations or equipment.
The label also provides valuable flexibility, with use sites that include both indoor and outdoor applications, as well as mattresses and furniture. Applicators can target bed bugs in many of the common areas where infestations are found, including mattresses, box springs, tufts, folds, edges, baseboards and moldings. For PMPs looking for a convenient and versatile tool to use as part of a comprehensive bed bug management program, D-Fense NXT aerosol will bring the efficacy they expect.
PREDICTIONS: We know travel is one of the primary ways bed bugs spread to new places. With summer here and family vacations around the corner for many American families, it is likely we will see more reports of hitchhiking bed bugs. From rideshare vehicles to airlines, they have popped up in many places frequented by travelers. Recent pest control reports indicate bed bug services remain a significant industry business segment, with no indications of a decrease anytime soon.
