 BED BUGS ARE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. Customers need to know there's no quick fix to controlling bed bugs, said Virginia Tech entomologist Dr. Dini Miller.
Pesticide-resistant populations are widespread, and introductions of new active ingredients are unlikely due to the high cost of R&D and the short time frame manufacturers have to recoup their investment in a niche market like bed bug control. "It's not even good business sense to be working on something for bed bugs in the United States because of our registration process," said Miller. |
