Bed Bug Pesticide Resistance

There are many products out there that claim to kill bed bugs and claim to be non toxic. Not only can certain pesticides be toxic upon inhalation, even if they are labeled non-toxic, but it won’t even kill the infestation, causing the bugs to adapt and become stronger and even harder to kill. Resistance to pesticides can be achieved very quickly.
