Should I Fumigate for Bed Bugs?

Advanced bed bug infestations are often treated by professionals using a Fumigation Treatment.  Fumigation is not the line of defense against one bed bug on your luggage.  Fumigation is reserved for seriously BAD infestations of bed bugs. 

Only licensed, trained professionals can perform a fumigation treatment.  The process is to open all the doors and windows to the structure and then place a massive tent over the structure completely.  The fumigation occurs when gaseous chemicals are then pumped inside the tent to fully encase the structure inside and outside with gaseous chemical pesticide.  After the targeted percentage gas level is reached inside the tent, the fumigation equipment is turned off and the tent remains tightly sealed and undisturbed for at least 24 hours, preferably longer.  This time period allows the gases to fully penetrate throughout the structure and kill every one of those darn bed bugs.  After the designated time period, the tent is then removed, the structure aired out, and then you pay a very large sum to an exterminator.

Fumigation is exceptionally toxic.  Off the charts dangerous; skull and crossbones; highly regulated; and available for sale only to licensed professionals level of toxic.  The most common brand name for the fumigation chemical is Vikane and the chemical name is sulfuryl fluoride.  Sulfuryl fluoride is a colorless, odorless gas that targets the nervous system and can cause pulmonary edema, nausea, vomiting, seizures, and death.  Let’s read that again – sulfuryl fluoride is a colorless, odorless gas (meaning you don’t know if or when you are being exposed to it…) that targets the nervous system (your brain and all bodily functions...) and can cause pulmonary edema, nausea, vomiting, seizures, and death. 

Of course, you want those awful things to happen to the bed bugs you are fumigating - in fact you want nothing short of complete eradication!  But we don’t want any of those things happening to your family, your pets, the world we live in, etc., right?

Fumigation should be considered only as the very last resort. 

Want another option?  How about a highly effective all-natural option? You are in luck – Greenbug!

If you have bed bugs, Greenbug to the rescue!  The reason bed bugs are candidates for fumigation is because they are resistant to traditional, synthetic, chemical pesticides.  Bed bugs aren’t very hard to treat, but they just laugh at exterminators and the products they use.  These products may be very dangerous to humans, pets, the environment, etc. but not dangerous to bed bugs.  A fumigation treatment is so insanely toxic that it does kill bed bugs but it is way overkill (pun intended!). 

A Greenbug Bed Bug Infestation Treatment is harmless to all except to bed bugs, simple to do, and can be completely finished in a few hours.  You could discover early morning there are bed bugs all over the place, do a Greenbug Bed Bug Infestation Treatment that day, and host company for dinner that night.  Seriously.

If you have bed bugs and ask, “should I fumigate?”  Not when you can have excellent bed bug control without dangerous risks from synthetic, chemical pesticides.  The Greenbug Bed Bug Infestation Treatment is less expensive, equally effective, and yields quicker results. And all-natural to boot!
