Bedbug Extermination Guide for your Apartment

Bed Bug Elimination

Those of you familiar with bedbugs, you must also be familiar with how much a nuisance they are. And as such, although many developed nations claim to have eradicated the parasite after World War II with the development of DDT, a common synthetic pesticide, the truth remains otherwise. It is alarming to know that bed bugs are nowhere near extinction and the infestations are finding a rise owing to travel and long or frequent stay in hotels, hospitals, buses, and shelters.
