The researchers believe that the genetic evidence that was collected from the bed bugs in Canada and the United States in the past 10 years reveals that the bed bugs were imported bed bugs.\u00a0 They believe that bed bugs have become resistant to insecticides from the tropics because of the exposure that the bugs have endured over extended periods of time to bed linens and bed nets.\u00a0 You may read the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/science-environment-16010179\">article<\/a> here.<\/p>\n<p>The challenge remains for NJ Pest Control professionals to find new ways to stop bloodsucking bed bugs in their tracks.\u00a0 You can rely on Allison Pest Control for expert bed bug removal services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bed bug infestations throughout the east have caused home and business owners to call a NJ Pest Control expert for help eradicating the bloodsuckers.\u00a0 Despite the continuous efforts to eliminate the creatures, bed bugs have proven to be stealthy opponent and have thrived in various environments.\u00a0 People must be careful and avoid bed bugs while [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,11,18,19,13,17,8,5,14,15],"tags":[35,61,60,252,56,54,58,55],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Are Tropical Bed Bugs The Blame For The Recent Re-Emergence?
