" Bed bugs Connecticut was the subject of a forum conducted by Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station. Over 180 people met to discuss how to coordinate efforts to fight the increasing numbers of bed bug infestations in that State. This site provides the local government bedbug resources and information needed to fight this problem if you live in the State of Connecticut. Recent reports of bedbugs include an infestation in the Stamford schools"

Like other regions in the United States and around the world, the number of Bed Bug related incidents and complaints is on the rise.

You can either hire a professional bed bug exterminator (see list below) or for smaller infestations you can try and kill the bed bugs yourself. We suggest purchasing a kit that comes with the needed chemicals, steamer, mattress covers and instructions such as the one offered by Dermisil (organic) or Bed Bug Supply (insecticide).

For step by step instructions see our guide to how to kill bed bugs. A brief summary is as follows:

1. Vacuum - bed bugs can be picked up with a vacuum. Use the crevice tool around the baseboards, inside furniture and around the mattress, box spring and bed frame. Dispose of the vacuum bag immediately after cleaning outside of the home.

2. Launder - Wash all blankets, linen, bed covers and clothes in hot water and then dry on high heat for 20 to 30 minutes.

3. Fill Cracks and Crevices - Bed bugs look for spaces in floors and at the edge of walls to hide.

4. Treat Mattress and Box Spring: If you have a hand steamer, steam all seams and tufts of the mattress and box spring. Afterward, treat the mattress with a mattress safe bed bug spray such as Sterifab.

5. Treat the Bed Frame, Head Board, Baseboards and Adjacent Furniture: Use a knock down spray such as the Sterifab, which kills bed bugs and bed bug eggs on contact, followed by the use of a residual spray, such as Phantom, that provides killing protection for several weeks. This is important, as bed bugs and bed bug eggs are very easy to miss during treatment.

Empty any objects from drawers and wash, treat or dispose of items. Remove drawers and treat the drawers (under and inside) and inside the furniture itself with both sprays.
