Cause of the Recent Bed Bug Epidemic:
Before the 1940’s bed bugs were a common pest across the globe. Everybody understood that they had to use caution and good common sense when visiting hotels, motels or other
establishment so as to prevent a bed bug bite incident. During WWII the chemical DDT began to be use to rid our
communities of harmful pests including bed bugs. The successful implementation of DDT from the 1940’s to the 1960’s
resulted in the near eradication of bed bug infestations across the country.

In reaction to the severe environmental impact of the chemical the state and federal legislation banned the use of DDT. The few bed bugs that remained possessed immunity to most pest control chemicals and began to repopulated. By the 1990’s bed bug infestations began to surface in the east coast and moved west infecting homes, hotels and apartments in major population
