Bedbugs
Bedbugs are small, nocturnal bugs that hide in cracks and crevices during the day and come out at night to feed on the blood of unsuspecting humans. The blood meal usually takes between 3 to 10 minutes and usually goes unnoticed by the victim.
Control can be achieved by using a vacuum cleaner to remove some of the bugs. Apply a residual pesticide such as Cyonara 9.7 (A0235) to cracks and crevices, behind baseboards and into other suspected harborages. You can apply a special spray called Rest Easy Bed Bug Spray (A0256) directly to the bedding. Dust can be effective in wall voids like Drione Dust (A0123). We have put together a great Kit for killing these bugs. Bed Bug Kit Full Treatment (A0270)
