The bed Bug Killer is an easy to use, proven way to kill bedbugs

Our secret way of killing them involves a thermal process that will kill the little buggers.
The unit is all electric and requires no connections other than plugging into
standard wall outlets.  To achieve the proper killing thermal range, it requires
four separate 20/30 amp,  120 volt circuits and will need to prepare the room
to ensure you have the desired killing effect. 

Because no dangerous chemicals are involved, you do not need
special licensing or an exterminator to kill bed bugs using The Bed Bug Killer

Give us a call and we will help you kill the bug that's bugging you!

What Are Bed Bugs?

Bed bugs are bloodsucking insects.  Most species feed on humans only when other
prey are unavailable.  Bedbugs are attracted to their hosts primarily by carbon dioxide,
secondarily by warmth and also by certain chemicals.

A bed bug pierces the skin of its host with two hollow feeding tubes shaped like
tongues. With one tube it injects its saliva, which contains anticoagulants and
anesthetics, while with the other it withdraws the blood of its host. After feeding for
about five minutes, the bug returns to its hiding place.  It takes between five to ten
minutes for a bed bug to become completely engorged with blood.

Although bed bugs can live for up to a year without feeding, they normally try to feed
 every five to ten days. In colder weather, bed bugs can live for about a year; at
temperatures more conducive to activity and feeding, about 5 months.

Stage of Life for a bed bug


Stages of Life
Bed bugs have six life stages (five immature and an adult stage). They will shed their
skins through a molting process throughout multiple stages of their lives. The
discarded outer shells look like clear, empty exoskeletons of the bugs themselves. Bed
 bugs must molt six times before becoming fertile adults.


Infestation
A number of health effects may occur due to bed bugs including skin rashes,
 psychological effects and allergic symptoms.  Although bed bugs are able to be
infected by at least 28 human pathogens, no study has ever found that the insect is
able to transmit the pathogen to a human being.  Bed bug bites may lead to
a range of skin manifestations ranging from no visible effects to prominent blisters.


 Diagnosis involves both finding bed bugs and the occurrence of compatible
symptoms.  Treatment involves the elimination of the insect but is otherwise
symptomatic.

Robinsons kills bedbugs with heat

Cause

Dwellings can become infested with bed bugs in a variety of ways, from:

Bugs and eggs that "hitchhiked in" on pets, or on clothing and luggage
Infested items (such as furniture or clothing) brought in
Nearby dwellings or infested items, if there are easy routes (through duct work or false ceilings)
People visiting from a source of infestation; bed bugs, like roaches, are transferred by clothing, luggage, or a person's body.
Wild animals (such as bats or birds)


Detection

Bed bugs are elusive and usually nocturnal, which can make them hard to spot. They often lodge unnoticed in dark crevices, and eggs can be nestled in fabric seams. Aside from bite symptoms, signs include fecal spots, blood smears on sheets, and molts.

Bed bugs can be found singly, but often congregate once established. They usually remain close to hosts, commonly in or near beds or couches. Nesting locations can vary greatly, however, including luggage, vehicles, furniture and bedside clutter. Bed bugs may also nest near animals that have nested within a dwelling, such as bats, birds, or rodents. The eggs of bed bugs are found in similar places where the bed bugs themselves are found, and are attached to surfaces by a sticky substance.


Pesticide Resistance
Bed bug pesticide-resistance appears to be increasing dramatically. Bed bug populations sampled across the U.S. showed a tolerance for pyrethroids several thousands of times greater than laboratory bed bugs.  New York City bed bugs have been found to be 264 times more resistant to deltamethrin than Florida bed bugs due to nerve cell mutations. 

Bed bugs are developing resistance to various pesticides including DDT and organophosphates.  Some populations have developed a resistance to pyrethroid insecticides. Although now often ineffective, the resistance to pyrethroid allows for new chemicals that work in different ways to be investigated, so chemical management can continue to be one part in the resolving of bed bug infestations.

Populations in Arkansas have been found to be highly resistant to DDT, with an LD50 of more than 100,000 ppm.

The Bottom line is you cannot rely on chemicals to kill bed bugs, but our Bed Bug Killer will do the job.
