I have a question about steri fab, I have talked to some companies and they use this on thier furniture mattress and so fourth, first is this a eco sensitive poduct? 2. Is this a chemical that can be applied by anyone? 3. If this works as I have read why are the pest cotrol companies not using this chemical, just curious thanks.

We know how rapidly bed bug are spreading and how bad a infestation is to deal with. It appears to me that reporters who take the view that this journalist and the writer from US News & World Reports about bed bugs have taken may have issues that only a physciatrist can address. We understand how wrong their view is but I cannot figure out why someone who claims that they have received so much email and phone calls from people concerned about bed bugs because of their past reporting cannot see clearly and will not sway their hard headed opinions. It just goes to show how certain people have the power of having their opinions published even if their opinion are incorrect. I think that this person may need meds.
