Theyre great hitchhikers, and people often bring them inside on their clothes or in their luggage. Orkin has seen an 18 percent increase in business for the treatment of bed bugs within the last year. More was done nationwide in 2014 to reduce the number of bed bugs. According to a 2013 report generated by the pest control industry, Americans spent $446 million to eliminate bed bugs. Thats a huge jump from the $70 million spent in 2004.

Orkin advises that homes be inspected regularly by checking locations where they hide out when its daylight.

Bedlam Plus is a new aerosol insecticide by MGK offering a longer lasting residual than the original Bedlam with the addition of Imidacloprid. This longer lasting residual additive along with an updated formulation gives Bedlam Plus the ability to kill all stages of bed bugs, their eggs and even pyrethroid resistant bed bugs. It is very important to mention that Bedlam Plus is solely a crack and crevice spray and should not be applied in areas that may come in contact with skin. For mattress applications, Bedlam Plus is designed to applied until damp along the folds, tufts and edges of the mattress and not on the top surface where we sleep.

We like to use Bedlam along the folds of mattresses, sofas, chairs and on drapes and other fabric materials that do not come into contact with skin. Bedlam is a residual in that the ingredients remain active for several weeks allowing it to continue killing bed bugs. The only drawback to Bedlam is it's more expensive than other non-aerosol residual killers such as our JT Eaton Kills Bed Bugs II.

Bedlam Plus features a dual mode of action that kills the toughest pyrethroid-resistant bed bugs fast. Featuring the perfect combination of quick kill and residual control, Bedlam Plus is proven to keep killing pyrethroid-resistant bed bugs and their eggs for two weeks after treatment.

It works and kills quickly!

Got a quote from our pest control company and the guy who came out recommended this product due to the high price for service with the company. Was a bit skeptical about this product, but decided to try it since it would have been about $1600 with the company to spray the whole house. It was a hassle to pack up all of our stuff and time consuming. The chemical itself was really strong and took a few hours to air out afterwards. It's a BIG job and an all day thing, but was totally worth it. Haven't seen any bugs since...so far so good. We are finally resting/sleeping with no worries 🙂

What are bed bugs?

Bed bugs are insects that, as adults, have oval-shaped bodies with no wings. Prior to feeding, they are about 1/4 inch long and flat as paper. After feeding, they turn dark red and become bloated. Eggs are whitish, pear-shaped and about the size of a pinhead. Clusters of 10-50 eggs can be found in cracks and crevices. Bed bugs have a one-year life span during which time a female can lay 200-400 eggs depending on food supply and temperature. Eggs hatch in about 10 days.

What do bed bugs feed on?

Bed bugs prefer to feed on human blood, but will also bite mammals and birds. Bed bugs bite at night, and will bite all over a human body, especially around the face, neck, upper torso, arms and hands. Bed bugs can survive up to six months without feeding. Both male and female bed bugs bite.

Can I get sick from bed bugs?

There are no known cases of infectious disease transmitted by bed bug bites. Most people are not aware that they have been bitten but some people are more sensitive to the bite and may have a localized reaction. Scratching the bitten areas can lead to infection.
