Bed bugs are known as one of the most disliked family insect pests. They can cause many discomfort including insomnia, psychological problems, allergic reactions.
Their potential habits and the ability to hide in cracks and cracks makes it very difficult to kill them. Bedbugs can not be treated at once. Two of them are cold treatment and fumigation To kill the bed bug, various treatments are necessary.
Insects can not tolerate extreme temperatures. Studies show that pests die within 30 minutes of being exposed to a temperature of -17 ° C (1.4 ° F) - the freezing point of insects.
There are three freezing techniques of freezer refrigerator, naturally cold freezer, frozen CO2. In either case, the temperature must be at least -17 ° C. When home freezers can reach this temperature it is a good way to kill bed bugs of extreme heat-sensitive fabrics.
Enclose the item in a sheet, towel, or other type of absorbent material. Put the wrapped thing in a plastic bag, remove air from the bag and seal it.
Put the object in the freezer for at least two weeks. Avoid defrosting the freezer. The freezer is very dry and does not maintain constant temperature in the cycle. Do not freeze paintings, lacquerware, objects made with ivory or photographic layers. An object composed of one material such as wool and wood is ideal.
Clionite
Cryonite is the main CO2 product in the market designed to kill bedbugs. Cryonite freezes liquid in insect cells and causes instant death. When the insects cool to -20 ° C to -30 ° C the cells crystallize. Snow is -78.8 ° C (110 ° F). CO2 The snow evaporates, and when it hits the surface at room temperature it becomes CO2 gas.
Cryonite can be rented or purchased. You do not need a license to operate it.
advantage
a. Frozen pests in places that are difficult to reach such as cracks and splits.
b. It quickly kills bed bugs.
c. It kills insects at all stages of the life cycle.
d. It does not leave dirty residue and does not require drying time.
e. It can be used on any surface. The cold does not penetrate the material.
f. CO2 in the cryonite is nontoxic.
g. It flushes insects from the harbor and easily targets them for vacuum nozzles.
h. Unparalleled heat can not be handled, moisture-insensitive epidemic items are ideal for treating with cryonite.
Me. Deep freezing is a quick DIY treatment.
j. Freezing with cryonite will take a while to kill bed bugs.
Disadvantage
a. Freezing has no residual effect.
b. Pests may be infected again.
Health and safety issues
Please read instructions carefully before using Cryonite unit. Please pay attention to snow. It can reach a temperature of -110 ° F. This can burn the skin.
fumigation
In a very serious invasion, fumigation is the best bed bug treatment. This bed bug process kills pests at all stages of the life cycle. The fumigant gas remains in the air and easily diffuses in a wide range.
Ethylene oxide (ETO), a gaseous fumigant used in the laboratory in the 1980's, causes severe health problems for workers. According to research, ETO can change the physical and chemical properties of paper, parchment, leather.
The remaining ETO remains an unprocessed material that produces toxins in the exhaust gas. Lethal fumigants include methyl bromide, sulfur dioxide, propylene oxide, sulfuryl sulfide and aluminum phosphide. Suffocation substances such as carbon dioxide and liquid nitrogen are classified as fumigants.
Because insects are resistant to household pesticides, they are highly dependent on fumigation treatment, especially in severely invasive situations.
advantage
a. Kill bed bugs at all stages of the lifecycle.
b. Can be applied to the whole room.
c. It is the ideal treatment for severe infection.
Disadvantage
a. There is no residual effect.
b. It is the most toxic of all pesticides.
c. Pests may become infected again after treatment subsides.
This process is very expensive and you need to hire special equipment to fumigate the whole room. However, proper treatment ensures that all insects in the infected area die.
