The Resistance!

April 24, 2017

Bed bugs are sneaky little pests! They can also be difficult to spot due to their small size, so getting rid of them, is a challenge! Global News recently shared an article about the difficulty of killing bed bugs – “Bed bugs becoming resistant to commonly-used insecticides”.

The article shares how according to research, bed bugs have shown the ability to develop resistance to commonly used insecticide products. Research also says in the article, that these insecticides are also causing the return of these pests. Since they have built up a tolerance to the product being used, they are not truly gone!
