There are many reasons why bed bugs have made a comeback in recent decades, and their resistance to commonly used insecticides is one of the most widely accepted explanations.
In a new paper published in the Journal of Economic Entomology, scientists from the University of Sydney and NSW Health Pathology describe how bed bugs are able to resist pyrethroid insecticides via metabolic detoxification, the process by which bed bugs break down insecticides.
The researchers focused on two types of detoxification enzymes, which are broadly known as esterases and oxidases. These two types of enzymes c ..read more

Bed bug-infested homes tend to be dusted with a layer of histamine particles, leading researchers to speculate that environmental histamine may be an indoor allergen with adverse health effects.
Inside infested homes, histamine levels averaged 54.6 μg/100 mg of sieved household dust versus less than 2.5 μg/100 mg in control homes in the same apartment building (and less than 0.3 μg/100 mg in an uninfested building more than 8 km away), according Zachary DeVries, PhD, of North Carolina State University in Raleigh, and colleagues. "Notably, the histamine concentrations in dust collected in bed ..read more

An effort is underway in New York State to restrict, and in certain cases ban, “bug bombs,” led by State Senator Zellnor Myrie (D-NYC). Total release foggers, more aptly referred to as bug bombs (because in some cases, they literally blow up), are dangerous indoor devices that release an aerosolized plume of toxic pesticides and unknown inert (or other) ingredients in an overpowered, ineffectual attempt to manage common pest problems. As Senator Myrie notes in his legislative justification for the bill, “This is an environmental justice is ..read more
