Are you worried about bedbugs invading your home? It is easy to see why since these pests are becoming more problematic in our area. It is vital to do what you can to keep these pests away from your dwelling. While some techniques work, others do not. Therefore, you need to find out which methods work. You’ve probably heard something about bedbugs being deterred by certain scents. The method works well for specific pests, but not bedbugs. These ectoparasites are different.
They’re hardier and more relentless than you could ever imagine. Baby bedbugs release pheromones to keep adult, male bedbugs away from them. They do this so the male bedbugs do not try to mate with them. These pheromones are frequently used in over-the-counter bedbug deterrents. The only problem is that the scent doesn’t stop female bedbugs. Still, it can help. Some people are considered using essential oils for this purpose. The Department of Agriculture studied the toxicity of such oils. Surprisingly, some of them were indeed effective for the extermination of bedbugs.
Paraffin oils and silicone oils were the most reliable. Still, it is not a good idea to put all your faith in essential oils. Be ready to work with a professional to guarantee satisfactory results.
