   Hello Everyone,

   I am new here, but finding this forum has given me a little hope that my situation can improve.

   For the past two weeks, I've been waking up with bites. At first, I thought they were mosquitos until I got the signature breakfest, lunch and dinner bites. There were no signs of bed bugs on my mattress or box spring but I had a PCO come over to inspect. After searching the bedroom and finding nothing, he searched the living room and found a lone dead bed bug on the floor. Part of me is relieved that he found it, but part of me is super stressed out. Of course, I got no sleep last night.

   I tell you all this to say, the PCO wants to use a combination of Gentrol, Demand and Exciter. I wanted to know if anyone here has had any experience with this combination of treatment. I researched each separately, but couldn't really find anything on the combination. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thank you so much!!

   These are fairly typical chemicals.

   ExciteR is a fast acting liquid with a short residual.
   Demand is an insecticide that dries to a micro-fine powder and has longer residual action.
   Gentrol messes up BB nymphs' ability to mature and reproduce. There have been reports that Gentrol makes BB lay more eggs, but I wouldn't get freaked over it.

   It comes down to the tech's skill and diligence, the particulars of your case and luck.
