How Do I Choose the Best Bed Bug Exterminator?
Bed bugs belong to the genus Insecta, Hemiptera, Bed family, Bed bug, and are a group of medical importance of Hemiptera. According to reports, there are about 75 species worldwide, but the vast majority are parasitic to bats and birds, and there are fewer human-related species. There are stink glands, and the secretions have a special smell, so they are also called bed bugs [1] .
- Adults: flat body, oval, reddish brown, body length 4-5mm, width 3mm, thickness 0.5mm. Females are slightly larger than males.
- Bed bugs were also known as bed bugs and ticks in ancient China. Bed bugs have a pair
- Bugs belong
- 1. Inspection dogs Well-trained inspection dogs have been used for bed bug inspections in the United States and Australia. Not only can live bugs be found, but also live bugs and live eggs can be distinguished from dead bugs, molting and feces, which has the advantage of being fast and accurate.
- 2. The artificial hour method is expressed by the number of bugs captured by each person for 1 h at each point, and the unit is only per artificial hour.
- 3. The unit area method selects a certain number of planes such as beds, floors, or walls. The density is the number of bed bugs found or captured per square meter of surface, and the unit is only / m2.
- 4. The bedboard vibration method moves the bedboard to a clean and flat ground. The two people lift the bedboard up to 1 m from the ground, then suddenly lower it, and shake continuously for many times until no bugs fall. Density, unit is per bed.
- 5, trace inspection method to check the dormitory, ward, hotel room walls and other places for odorless feces or blood stains, to determine whether there are bed bugs.
- 6. The investigation and inquiry method goes deep into the residence and dormitory to ask the occupants if there is any bug activity or bite found. Check the bite to determine whether it is
- Whether there is a bug bite, so as to determine whether there is a bug.
- 7. Trap traps make traps with built-in chemical traps (made from 33.0 g of propionic acid, 0.33 g of butyric acid, 0.33 g of valeric acid, 100 g of octenol, and 100 g of L-lactic acid, which can trap nearby aggregates Bed bugs of all ages to determine the extent of bug infestation.
- 8. The bed bug detector uses the principle of dogs looking for odor. First, the indoor air is sucked into the device through a fan, and the analysis is performed when the odor is collected to a recognizable concentration. There are 3 sensors installed in the device, which can detect the hormonal, carbon dioxide and methane secreted by the bug, and the color display can show the user's distance from the bug. Mankin et al. Used infrared, acoustic pulse, and other principles to design detectors that can simultaneously detect and distinguish between bedbug and cockroach activity in a certain space, but the detection method for bedbug nymphs needs to be further improved.
Bed bug environmental control
- 1 To prevent the invasion of foreign bugs, we should pay attention to environmental management, keep sanitary and tidy, and prevent the breeding of bugs. Baggage, furniture, and other items of foreigners or returnees should be checked. When traveling or relocating, you should also carefully check your luggage and old furniture to avoid the spread of bed bugs. If bed bugs are found, effective treatment measures should be taken in time to prevent the introduction of nymphs, adults and eggs.
- 2 Controlling breeding habitats to eliminate bed bugs is mainly to improve environmental sanitation, improve environmental quality, and eliminate bed bugs' habitats. For example, the gaps between house walls and floors that can hide and breed bugs are plugged with lime and cement, and the walls are regularly brushed; clothes, sheets, sheets, mosquito nets, etc. are often washed; in summer, bed sheets, tables, chairs, and mats After moving out of the house, it will be exposed to the sun and turned frequently, so that the bed bugs have no breeding conditions.
Bed bug physical control
- 1 Manually killing bedsteads, banquets, bookcases, mattresses, etc., constantly knocking down bed bugs and killing them. The bugs hidden in the gaps in the walls, ceiling, and floor can be picked out with long needles, wire, etc. and then killed.
- 2 Various types of steam generators can be used for steam spray irrigation. The steam pressure can be sprayed from the small holes of the nozzle to burn and kill the bugs and eggs in the gap.
- 3 Bedbug nymphs can die in 15 minutes, and adults and eggs need to be treated for 1 hour before they can be all. Therefore, gaps such as bed boards, straw mats, bookcases, and furniture can also quickly kill the infestations and eggs of bed bugs. Gap, slower action, repeated several times in order to completely kill.
- 4 Sun exposure In summer, clothes, beds, cabinets, etc. can be exposed to the sun for several hours, and flipped in time to kill the bed bugs due to high temperature or death.
Chemical control of bed bugs
- 1 Residual spraying: Spread evenly on ground joints, bedboards, furniture joints, etc., and use Quebang bio-spray agent in the gaps of walls, closets and bedboards. The method has a lasting killing effect on bed bugs, is easily accepted by the masses, and is economically simple and convenient.
- 2 If there are bed bugs on the wall, it is best to place the bed board in contact with the wall. This will help the bed bugs to contact the medicine when they crawl back and forth and improve the insecticidal effect. The method does not require any equipment, is simple to make, convenient to use, and easy to carry, and has certain killing and repellent effects on other reptile health pests.
