KNOCKOUT – Yeah, We know how to kill Resistant Bed Bugs – That's Why People Keep Calling Us.

January 24, 2011

Kill Bed BugsWe’ve gotten several e-mails and phone calls over the last couple of days asking us to comment on the recent stories broadcast on NPR and in the Wall Street Journal, of January 20th, 2011, regarding the recent findings of Ohio State University – that Bed Bugs in the US are developing enzymes that can cleanse them from poisons in pesticides. Studies out of Germany and the UK say the same; that it’s becoming more and more difficult to kill bed bugs with conventional pesticides.

At KNOCKOUT PEST CONTROL, we’ve been witnessing this resistance process first hand in the field. We may not have been analyzing the RNA sequences of the biochemical genetic activity of Bed Bugs in a laboratory, but we see these highly resistant Bed Bugs every day. These bed bugs are evolving because of the inadequate use of weak over the counter Bed Bugs treatments, the improper application of professional pesticides by some exterminators, the lack of a thorough bed bug eradication treatment because of lack of proper effort, and one of the MOST IMPORTANT the use of ALTERNATIVE Bed Bug eradiation techniques. Like the Cryonite FREEZING process. Sure Bed Bugs, are developing enzymes that can better process toxins into water and pass them out. But Bed Bugs CANNOT defend themselves from turning into ICE CRYSTALS in a matter of a NANO SECONDS - Cannot prevent their interiors from exploding. Nope. They haven’t gotten around that yet. And then there are Bed Bug Hot Boxes, which also use extreme temperatures to kill bed bugs.

We still may apply residual pesticides in discrete areas and proactive means to prevent re-infestation and any insects that may have eluded treatment, but these pesticides we use are versions ONLY AVAILABLE to professional licensed pest control experts, like KNOCKOUT PEST CONTROL. Over the counter chemicals are becoming useless, and are hampering the proper treatment of a Bed Bug infestation.

So yeah, we read and keep on top of all of the University reports from Entomologists in the US and around the world. We read about the latest news from the National Association of Pest Control Management, and all of the Governmental Agencies…We know... and we stay on the CUTTING EDGE of PEST CONTROL. Whether it’s Bed Bugs, Termites, Rodents, or even the latest seasonal pest – Stink Bugs; you can trust KNOCKOUT PEST CONTROL to use and offer the very BEST methods and treatments to solve ALL your Pest Problems.

This may sound like an ad or us being boastful, but it’s true and something we’re very proud of.

A shout out from the other side of the pond - I found your blog – very interesting.  We have a bed bug problem here in England, but apparently not as much as you folks.  They are hard to kill and even harder to find so wiping them all out can be tough.  I will now seek out a company that uses the freezing process.  Thank you so much for providing this information and keep up the good work.
