Bed bugs History
Bedbug history was introduced into America by the early colonists.
There are
severe bedbug problems in the 18th century in English colonies and in Canada.
It
started to infest on the old sailing ship.
Bedbugs are rated as the top three pests in
around the colony.
Survey shows that 1/3 of the populations were infested in the cities
and they are called public enemy number one.
Suddenly the bedbug disappeared in
mostly developed countries.
The impact of DDT and other pesticides has helped to
kill these bugs.
The DDT is sprayed or dusted on the areas where this bug resides.
The control of this bedbug last for a year or more.
Although the resistance on DDT
has developed on the bugs, there are still pesticides that stayed effective with other
chlorinated hydrocarbons and the organophosphate insecticide Malathion.
In 1950s, the bedbug which is known as household pests was changed to an
occasional pest.
Today bedbugs are coming back again.
