Millions of people have launched into a variety of pest control tactics to overcome or manage ants, bed bugs and other pests. However, research has shown that in the spirit of Darwinism, where only the strong survive, biological organisms evolve to overcome obstacles that attempt to eradicate them. Organisms that survive evolve with resistance to chemical, biological, chemical, and other tactics to kill them. With the bedbug epidemic sweeping the east coast, MA Pest Control is on the front lines of pest management.
The arsenal of weaponry in the battle against pests include biological pest control, assaults to eliminate breeding areas, poisoned bait and spray, field burning, fumigation, treatment, and sterilization. A variation of sterilization includes introducing hot steam into soil. Destruction of infected environments such as material or plants that harbor pests is another method of pest control. For example, for bed bugs, people are often advised to purge themselves of infected bedding and other furniture. Though bed bugs feed every 5 to 10 days, they can live without eating for 1 year, and are often found outside of bedding in otherwise sanitary conditions
