    Good to know info for just in case! Can the chemicals be bought OTC?

    Sure can.

    READ ALL LABELS THOROUGHLY BEFORE USE!!!

    Most effective contact killer, for visible live ones is Steri-Fab

    http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/sterifab-insecticide-p-270.html?gclid=CJGuqO7FrtECFVJYDQodWNoELg

    Most effective residual liquid we use is Temprid SC

    http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/temprid-sc-insecticide-p-1175.html

    Most effective residual dust is Cimexa

    Granted, insects can develop immunities to certain chemicals, which is why there are many on the market. But these are the ones we generally have the best results with.

    If you suspect bed bugs, check tags, seams, folds and staples on furniture and beds.

    Also, they do not transmit disease they're just a nuisance, just FYI.

    It's 6 o clock in the morning and looked upon the wall
    Some roaches and some bed bugs were having a game of ball.
    The score was 6 to 3 and the roaches were ahead.
    The bed bugs hit a home run and then knocked me out of bed.

    God I still remember this from my childhood.

    They only have to feed once a year to breed. Yes, hornbakerfella, they bag and overheat your house for an extended time. Expensive.

    The easiest way is to alternate 80s country music and The Smiths on the stereo, full blast for 72 hours. The bed bugs will kill themselves. Just leave out thousands of tiny nooses.

    We're still #1

    True in 2017, true in 2018, and true in 2019, Baltimore is still #1 in bed bugs: https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-m...ed-bug-cities-listing/?utm_term=.bf3f4dc370d8

    When we travel, we keep our suitcases closed at all times. When we need something, we unzip it, take it out, and immediately close it up again.

    We also take special extra-extra large zip-lock bags in which to store our dirty clothes. (Walmart sells them.) After our clothes have been in the room and worn, we shake them out real well, then into the bags they go. And they don't come out again until we get back home and the clothes get placed directly into a washer & dryer.

    That big hotel we're stopping in, they call them Navvies huts
    And the bugs and fleas are in the beds are big as coconuts
    And on Saturday night, when I get there, I stand behind the door
    And as they come out, one by one, I bash them on the floor

    For I'm as strong as any lion. I was rared on eggs and ham
    I'm a terror to all fightin men round the Micky Dam.
