What is the harm in trying to getting rid of bed bugs myself?
Several things work against you as follows: • Chemicals: Let’s say you treat them with chemicals. And you are not successful, so you call a pest control company. Now they treat the bugs with chemicals. So what do you end up with: More chemicals and a few extra sleepless nights before you called the pest control company. • Time: Time works against you and in favor of the bugs. Let’s say you treat them. And you managed to kill most of the bugs but some survive. Some of their eggs survive too which are even more difficult to treat. The eggs will hatch and survived bugs produce even more bugs. Their population will spread to other rooms and keep on growing while you may think you got rid of them. When you detect them after some time their population might have grown to a very high level. • Local laws: Local laws prevent you from using some chemicals.
