Ther­mo-bug basic 3.0: The best equip­ment for com­bat­ing bedbugs

Bed­bugs – a plague that was fought off long ago returns

They are on the rise at break­neck speed – bed­bugs. From the lux­u­ry hotel and the youth hos­tel to the pri­vate house­hold – the pests are more than an annoy­ing plague, which can only be effec­tive­ly fought by spe­cial­ly trained experts using the lat­est technology.

In addi­tion to the unin­tend­ed trans­porta­tion of the bug in lug­gage from one place to anoth­er and the country’s domes­tic trade in sec­ond-hand goods, the fol­low­ing fac­tors are rea­sons for the return of the harm­ful pests:

• Pro­hi­bi­tion of the effec­tive organochlo­rine pes­ti­cide DDT
• The resis­tances of blood-suck­ing par­a­sites to insec­ti­cides and chemicals

The use of DDT (dichlorodiphenyl­trichloroethane) has suc­cess­ful­ly com­bat­ed annoy­ing pests for a long time. How­ev­er due to the detectabil­i­ty of adverse effects on the eco­log­i­cal cycle and harm­ful con­se­quences for humans, the insec­ti­cide was banned in most West­ern indus­tri­al nations in the 1970s. In 2004, in accor­dance with the Stock­holm Con­ven­tion, DDT was only allowed world­wide when it is used to fight insects that trans­mit seri­ous dis­eases e.g. malar­ia or the like. How­ev­er with the world­wide ban on the use of the insec­ti­cide, the dis­tri­b­u­tion and mul­ti­pli­ca­tion of bed­bugs has also increased again.
