Few pests pose control challenges as complex as bed bugs. Hard to find,
persistent, and increasingly pervasive, bed bugs require considerable
professional expertise and significant client cooperation. As if that isn't
enough, research indicates that bed bug strains showing resistance to
pyrethroid insecticides are now widespread in the United States. Factor in
repellency-related problems associated with pyrethroids, and it's clear: a
smarter approach to controlling bed bugs is sorely needed.
The Solution
The BASF Better Bed Bug Control protocol is based on the latest
research and effective strategies utilizing breakthrough materials with
significant advantages over residual pyrethroids. With this treatment
guide, steps can now be taken to kill existing bed bugs or prepare a room
for the event of bed bug infestations in a way that significantly reduces the
likelihood that an infestation will take hold and spread.

FLEAS
The Problem
The Products
Once among the top reasons for calls to PMPs, flea problems appeared to
decline significantly toward the end of the 20th century. With improved flea
control products and the introduction of on-animal products, homeowners
began relying more on veterinarians than PMPs for flea control.
However, today flea business is up throughout the United States, as compared
to just a few years ago. Homeowner complacency in treating their pets and
an increase in urbanization, which has displaced wildlife such as raccoons,
skunks, and opossums may well have been factors in this flea resurgence.
Whatever the cause, fleas are a problem no PMP should be ill-prepared to
effectively and efficiently control.

fleas and minimize technician time and labor as well as homeowner
inconvenience. It combines a strategic inspection and application plan with
