Old Chemical New Look
There is a stand by treatment that’s
been around almost as long as the bed bug. Somehow products containing
DDVP has escaped the regulatory hatchet. The technique here calls for
warm air (say 90 or so) being blown over the strip which helps activate
the active ingredient and it then floats around the room killing bed bug
adults, nymphs and their eggs. The biggest drawback to this service is
that rooms being treated needs exposure to the DDVP strips for at least
72 hours for the live bugs and 2 weeks for the eggs (I would do 3 weeks
for all, just in case). This is a small price to pay however considering
the cost will be much lower than the hundreds or thousands of dollars
people are paying with other treatments. When the 3 weeks are up dispose
of pesticide strip according to directions after completing treatment.
Air room out after treatment is completed, for 24 hours, by opening
windows, and using fans to circulate air.
KEEP CHILDREN AND PETS OUT OF THE ROOM UNTIL ITS FULLY AIRED OUT.
