"   If you&amp;#039;ve decided to travel for New Years or have guests staying with you, worries about beg bugs have probably been top of mind. In fact you may have grabbed a bed bug pesticide spray at your local store for precaution. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) alerted consumers that many at-home pesticides are making non viable and ineffective guarantees on controlling and killing bed bugs. One of the potential issues with at-home pesticide sprays is that the chemical needs to come in direct contact with the bed bug. However, bed bugs can remain hidden for long periods and possibly never come in contact with the chemical.  If you believe you have bed bugs, you should first verify that you actually have an infestation by contacting a local pest control professional. Even though bed bug pesticides may be more economical, getting a trained specialist involved early rather than taking the time to treat the pests yourself is very effective at preventing future infestations.
