With insatiable appetite for human blood, bedbugs are some of the most gluttonous and burdening insects to human settlements in the 21st century. A number of high profile research studies have demonstrated that bedbugs do not just bite and suck blood, bedbugs actually have capability of transmitting disease causing micro-organisms and viruses to man. Over 40 disease causing micro-organisms have been detected in bedbugs so far. These fresh discoveries continue to impose a lot of fear to families as bedbug explosion sweeps across the globe. Bedbugs have developed 15% thicker skin explaining why their resistance to insecticide sprays have more than trippled in the last 100 years. Most of the insecticides like synthetic pyrethroid and organophosphates in the consumer market have become very ineffective in killing bedbugs.

Fortunately, scientists have been fighting tooth and nail to hack the bedbug game and bring these bugs under control.

The State Univetsity of New York alias Stony Brook University has a solution. The experts developed microfibre trap, a nanotechnology that will see bedbugs controlled with no damage to our health and the environment unlike the current control methods using toxic pesticides.

Another groundbreaking innovation is from Penn State University, Aprehend is the way to go. A fungus that has been used for long in agriculture has proven very effective in bedbug control. McCandless is the CEO of Conidio Tec, a firm disseminating this Aprehend technology. "The product is sprayed in a band along box-springs, baseboards, headboards and other places where bedbugs walk. As bedbugs cross the band, the spores stick to them — “like grains of sand on wet feet” — and are carried back to the insects' hiding places, known as harborages.The spores kill bedbugs within four to 10 days following contact with a treated surface," says McCandless.

Bedbug remains one of the most irritating bugs humans ever faced, ravaging cities and rural commuities alike. Bedbug infestation has been mentioned in all continents of the world except Antarctica.Bedbug neither respects your tidiness nor salary scale. Man has endured chronic bedbug bites for centuries. Bedbugs have been robbing humans of their psycho-social well being since our great grandfathers were living in caves. People having bedbugs in their homes present with wide shades of psychological disorders. Bedbug infestation also pose a lot of financial drain to victims in control fights.
