   Hi!
   I'm talking to an exterminator who does K9 sweep and treats with steam & a combination of chemicals. He gave me a list of 5 chemicals w/fact sheets and I see only 2 are labeled for controlling bedbugs. Here's the list --- what do you think?

   Temprid SC Insecticide: Sheet does not mention controlling/killing bedbugs

   Gentrol IGR Concentrate: Controls bedbugs

   Masterline Bifenthrin 7.9 Termiticide/Insecticide: Controls bedbugs

   Prescription Treatment Perma-Dust pressurized Boric Acid Dust: does not mention controlling bedbugs

   Pyrocide 100: sheet does not mention controlling bedbugs

   It depends on how and where he applied the chemicals. Also just because it doesn't say it treats bedbugs doesn't mean its still not effective, lets use Temprid SC for an example. Temprid SC consists of two active ingredients and one of those is Cyfluthrin, which is used in other chemicals for bed bugs.

   I am not sure why he used Prescription Treatment Perma-Dust pressurized Boric Acid Dust, and Pyrocide 100. For dusting there are better products.

   I hope I wrote this in an easy way to understand.
