Insecticides are highly toxic chemicals. You should educate yourself about a particular product before using it or allowing an exterminator to use it. This is particularly important when trying to eradicate bedbugs, since people—especially children, who are most susceptible to toxins—spend a lot of time in bedrooms and in bed. For information about insecticide components and their dangers, look at Web sites like the Children’s Health Environmental Coalition or the Natural Resources Defense Council. You should also bear in mind that most pesticides don’t kill bedbug eggs, making multiple treatments necessary. Some insecticides are repellant to bedbugs and may simply cause them to scatter. Since most kill only on contact, a bedbug deep in a crack or crevice may not get a lethal dose.
NEVER use insecticide “bombs” or “foggers”. Foggers don’t come into contact with enough of the insecticide to be affected by it. Instead of killing the bugs, the bombs only drive them further into their hiding places. Perhaps even into neighboring apartments.
