We've been with Bed Bugs for 4 months now. My wife said we had them, I could see nothing, no signs etc. We even had a Pest Control Company come in and inspect, No signs. She kept claiming the bugs were in the house so we got a dog in and sure enough Bed Bugs.
We had a couple of companies then treat claiming 1 treatment would do the job, how wrong was we!!
We've now had DE put down and had another Dog come in and sure enough the Bugs have spread. The Pest company has done it's 1st treatment and intend doing another 2 treatments. I really like this company and have my faith in them. My wife keeps reading that the chemicals in Canada do not clear the problem as not potent enough. Please reply anyone in Canada that has cleared an infestation with the Chemicals available. What did you use? Did you get the bugs out of furniture?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the products available in Canada.
95%+ of all insecticides in both the US and Canada are synthetic pyrethroids. This in itself is a problem as resistance can be an issue.

This is good to know, that there's nothing wrong with the products in Canada.
My PCO was performing an inspection last week (my request) and we got to talking about pesticides in Canada. He mentioned there are a few things unavailable here (like Vikane or Bedlam) or other things used in Canada but not for bed bugs (Demand, I think it was), and he claimed the reason was these companies would have to spend another $1 million for the additional research required for use here. And they won't do it because the profit isn't worth it as yet, though with bed bugs on the rise so much I bet they will be. Sadly.
I still wish we had Vikane or some moving-service product available up here.

Surely if there is a problem with resistence, then there is a problem with the chemicals?

www.bedbugresource.comHaving spoken to Pest Compamies in Florida, they've all but gotten rid of the bed bug problem with the chemicals they are using. Why are we banned from using them, meanwhile we are living like prisoners in our own home!!
