CHICAGO, Jan. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Bed bugs are bad all around the country. Period. For the last 10 years, bed bugs have experienced a major comeback that has become a tremendous image and financial problem for hotels, public housing, senior-living centers, colleges and universities.

The problem extends directly into most residential homes, as well. Because of the transient nature of today's lives – students in and out of college dorms; libraries shared by entire communities; and families or individuals traveling and expanding the chances of coming into contact with bed bugs – almost anyone is at risk for an incident or infestation.
Each year, a major pest control firm ranks the top bed bug cities, with the top being the worst city in the country based on the amount of bed bug jobs that were performed there. For the 4th year, Chicago has been given that dubious distinction.
The third largest metropolitan city in the country and the second largest metropolitan downtown in the United States, Chicago is a sprawling, vibrant city that not only is busy enough on its own but it hosts one of the busiest airports in the world too.
Hence, if bed bugs ever had a chance to spread in a major city, Chicago definitely was doomed from the start based on its size. And while this problem has really been listed more as an epidemic in the greater Chicago area, one firm has found a true solution to managing bed bugs.
Rose Pest Solutions, one of the leading pest control firms in the Midwest, has been using EcoRaider Natural Bio-Insecticide to protect its clients from bed bugs. Bill Hastings, Director of Special Services for Rose Pest Solutions Chicago, says EcoRaider has made a big difference in their bed bug protocol.
"We use EcoRaider as part of our heat treatment services for bed bugs," he said. "We spray EcoRaider before applying heat to immediately knock down the bed bug populations … EcoRaider has helped us increase our percent control and reduce our bed bug callbacks.
"I gave it to several of our technicians to use and their feedback was, 'We want more of this stuff,' which is usually a sign it works," said Hastings. "I went out and tested it myself and had bed bugs dying four to six seconds after coming in contact with the product which impressed me.
"It acts quickly and fits into our integrated approach to bed bug management that includes heat and conventional pesticide treatments," says Hastings. "We take it with us on our inspection visits and if we spot bed bugs we can apply it to stop the spread of the infestation and provide the customer with some immediate emotional relief."
On the top list of bed bug cities, Chicago is followed by Los Angeles, Washington D.C., New York and Columbus, Ohio to round out the top five – or the worst five.
