Learn more about why <a href=\"https:\/\/allisonpestcontrol.com\/free-pest-inspection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Monmouth County pest control<\/a> experts are dealing with more and more bed bug problems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pesticides<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During the early to mid part of the 20th century, DDT was the main way to kill bed bugs. This chemical was banned during the 1970s due to safety concerns. Does this ban explain why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/2015\/4\/27\/8502491\/bed-bugs-kill-increase\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bed bugs<\/a> have come back? Banning DDT might have played a role, but it wasn\u2019t the only factor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Air Travel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Air travel is also cited as a possible reason for bed bugs returning and becoming more widespread. As more and more people flew around the world, these bugs were able to reach various locations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chemical Resistance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/bed-bugs\/index.php#do\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bed bugs<\/a> have adapted to common pesticides that have been used to treat them ever since DDT was banned. This resistance helps explain in part why bed bugs have made such a strong comeback. Experts have had to turn to other means of eliminating these bugs in order to stop them from spreading.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re having a hard time dealing with a bed bug problem, <a href=\"https:\/\/allisonpestcontrol.com\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Allison Pest Control<\/a> can help.
