   Hi,

   Although it is common knowledge within the BB suffering community that smoke bombs do not work for treating infestations the message is not really out there in the wider world yet.

   I am curious to see if there are people out there who would be willing to support a "ban the smoke bomb for Bed Bugs" campaign?

   We know from the work of people like Michael Potter of the University of Kentucky that they are not effective (see http://www.ca.uky.edu/entomology/entfacts/ef643.asp) and yet they are still available via online shops and hardware stores.

   Please let me know your thoughts.

   David

   Not sure what you mean by smoke bombs, mediocre if you want to cover an advance but
   useless for bed bugs. Do you mean sulfur candles or bug bombs?
