What Are Bed Bugs?
Cimex lectularis (Cimicidae) are small wingless insects that feed by hematology, exclusively on warm-blooded animals. Since this is precisely what we are, we are their number 1 choice. Lucky us!
Weird Facts:
Bed bugs can lay 1-5 eggs in a day AND more than 500 in a lifetime. That's 1 too many for me.
There are 92 different species of bed bugs in the world. But only Cimex bothers us.
A bed bug egg is 1 millimeter or the size of a grain of salt.
A single bed bug can ingest 7 TIMES its weight in blood. That is identical to an average-sized man drinking 120 GALLONS of liquid.
Unfortunately, bed bugs can be found in all 50 states. Oh, joy!
Bed bugs can tolerate a large span of temperatures. From freezing to 120F. That's why when you have an infestation, you need to use heat higher than 120F.
A Biologist at Simon Fraser University, allows bed bugs to chomp on her arm so she can attempt to create a new kind of trap based on pheromones. Regine Gries has been bitten approximately over 200,000 times since 2006. She allows them to feed every Saturday for 10 minutes. Wow!

What are people saying about Bed Bug Patrol?

"I had a chance to use this a couple of days ago. I had been sick and had not kept up on my spraying every couple of days to keep them away. I previously used a different brand. When I check, there they were again! I used this and after 3 days they are still gone! It works, smells good, and the pump actually works (it doesn't on other ones I've bought). The booklet they included with the purchase was very informative and helpful as well. I highly recommend this product."

“Naturally I freaked out when I found bed bugs. I called two exterminators, received estimates of $1,700-$2,650 which I would have paid until I started researching other methods and saw the reviews on this product. Vacuumed thoroughly, sprayed as directed, encased box spring and mattress. Repeated vacuum and spray a week later. So far so good!!"
