\"\"<\/a>Like other types of products that are marketed for consumers, they may come and go with or without much hype.\u00a0 Some however grab the attention of our government officials and spark an investigation of their claims of success.\u00a0 With bed bug infestations<\/a> being such a difficult pest to eradicate and one that causes victims considerable costs and aggravation, it is not surprising any product with claims of success against the pests would draw specific attention to itself.<\/p>\n

Caveat emptor or buyers beware.\u00a0 Like with all things in life\u2026if it sounds too good to be true\u2026it usually is!<\/p>\n

The Washington Post reported on September 10, 2012<\/a> that federal regulators have charged two companies that have been marketing anti-bed bug products to consumers. The Federal Trade Commission claims that there is no evidence that the ingredients in \u201cRest Easy\u201d and \u201cBest Yet\u201d will eliminate or prevent bed bugs from attacking.\u00a0 Best Yet is marketed by Cedarcide\u00a0Industries Inc. and Rest Easy by RMB Group LLC.\u00a0 The products contain ingredients such as\u00a0lemongrass, cedar oil and cinnamon, which have proven to be ineffective against bed bug infestations, claim the Federal Trade Commission.\u00a0 The companies that are marketing and selling these products are considered to be using \u201cdeceptive advertising\u201d.<\/p>\n

RMB Group LLC has agreed to a settlement with the FTC; however, the case against Cedarcide is still ongoing.<\/p>\n
