Talk:Bed bug control techniques

Untitled
There are quite a few inaccurate statement here. I wasn't aware of this page - corrected the opening comments about bed bugs staying near the host as this is quite incorrect as it was.They like to be near the host, but will spread extensively as population builds up. I don't have time today to make corrections, but will return and carefully edit so that the information is accurate.. Right now..lots of things not quite correct or that give the wrong impression. still, good page .. let's just get it right... 64.56.253.1 (talk) 01:51, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

We really need to educate in this article about Integrated Pest Management.The title also needs to be changed.The methods shown are mostly not done in isolation,therefore comparisons here are not balanced. An IPM approach includes vacuuming, steaming, use of pesticides, sealing, education of tenants, homeowners,and landlords,use of monitoring devices.. etc.. etc... Even an approach like heat treatment can be used as the mainstream treatment but also as part of a standard treatment when items are treated by heat in a chamber or van.. the piece about disease spread was really misinformation and could frighten people. An extensive study by Jerome Goddard a respected Medical Entomologist and colleagues, noted that there was not any evidence in the literature of a single case of bed bugs vectoring any infectious disease. 64.56.253.1 (talk) 02:07, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Cold treatment?
Most of the cold treatment section is uncited...I doubt that putting some fans around to change the air temperature a bit would help at all considering they can survive below freezing...and the number of [citation needed]s around. I will likely rework the section on Sunday. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.246.78.162 (talk) 08:55, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Added a new sub-topic
There are a lots of bed bugs control techniques missing in this article "Bed bug control techniques" that are on the internet and even in use. I added a method called bed bugs trap interceptors that i personally used and found it effective too. I had found that technique on a page : Bed bug trap interceptors I found this technique(i.e bed bug trap interceptor) really unique and effective so being a loyal regular editor thought to add it on this article so that more poeple could get helped.

Lets make this article more informative and useful for all the people around the globe.
