You Can’t Cut Corners When It Comes To Bed Bugs

Fighting bed bug infestations can be a costly endeavor for any home or business owner report New Jersey pest control professionals.  Upon discovery of bed bugs, some people have made the mistake of trying to treat the infestation themselves.  Many times people try using bug bombs, yard pesticides, household pesticides, and dangerous substances such as gasoline.  Many people learn the hard way that when it comes to bed bugs, you cannot cut corners.

The Timesunion.com reported on February 2, 2012 that the director of the Saratoga Springs Housing Authority in New York cancelled the pest control contract in the summer of 2009 for the Stonequist Apartments.  The exterminator claims that the contract was previously in place for 25 years during which time he provided monthly pest control protection for cockroaches, ants, bed bugs and other types of insects.  The contract was cancelled by the director of the Housing Authority because he thought that the monthly fee could be better spent elsewhere.  The residents of the 176 unit apartment building have leases that include monthly pest control services.  Many tenants are upset because bed bugs are raging out-of-control in their building, yet until the media began to investigate this issue at Stonequist, nothing was done to eradicate the little vampires.  You may read the article here.

Without a doubt, if a bed bug infestation is found in the early stages of development and nipped in the bud, than the cost of eradication is lessened.  Allowing bed bugs to spread, either by ignoring the problem, or by not knowing the bugs are present will cause the infestation to grow out-of-control in a very short period of time.
