Resistance to Bed Bug Pesticides
In only 1 generation, resistance to bed bug pesticides can be reached. When any bed bugs that have not been exterminated by the initial chemical treatment, they will bear offspring that are even more resistant to the pesticides. This next generation will spawn another generation of bed bugs that are even more resistant than the previous, and so on. With enough food present, the bed bug’s life cycle can be very short, which allows this resistance to pesticides to develop quickly. For more bed bug knowledge, visit out bed bug page.
Homeowners and pest control companies are generally using the incorrect pesticides to combat bed bugs. The only chemicals that will work against an infestation of bed bugs are only available to pest control professionals and are quite expensive.

- It may kill some of the bugs, but not all of them or any of their eggs.
- It is likely that your actions will cause the bed bug infestation to spread throughout the house.
- Trying to treat the problem yourself will make the problem worse over time.
