The common bedbug (Cimex lectularius) was believed to have been eradicated in the United States and elsewhere in the 1950s with the widespread use of the pesticide Dichloro-Diphenyl-Trichloroethane (DDT). With most uses of DDT now banned in the U.S., bed bugs have made a comeback.
Reports of bed bug infestations and biting incidents are on the rise. Facilities managers and hospitality industry professionals know that if bed bugs aren’t detected early and eradicated completely, the reputations of their companies could be on the line.
The Cimex Detection Case is your best tool for early detection of incipient levels of bed bugs, as well as post-treatment testing to ensure the entire population has been eradicated.
