What are the issues?

Poor product performance, can’t eliminate̶ Raid, Hotshot or even professional grade…

Resistance ̶ used repeatedly, pesticides become futile

Pesticide Exposure ̶ synthetic nerve toxins through respirationand contact...

Too expensive and not practical ̶ $300-$1500, heat, steam, freezing… lawsuit…

Data Published by Entomological Society of America, Sept 29, 2014.

Ten green products alongside two industry standards (Temprid SC and Demand CS) compared.

EcoRaider is identified as the most effective bio-insecticide for Bed Bugs.

EcoRaider matches against top synthetics on direct kill & outperforms on egg mortality.

2013 USDA IR-4 project by Rutgers University

24 bed bug infested apartments in a housing complex

of Irvington, NJ

EcoRaider® and Temprid® SC (Bayer) were chosen to

treat side by side

Conclusion: EcoRaider’s field control result is similar to that of Temprid SC over the 12 weeks treatment period.

“EcoRaider resulted in bed bug reduction in the field that is comparableto that by synthetic insecticides. “

May, 2014 – PresentUSDA IR4 Project by Washington State Univ. Project: ongoing study on the

mechanism of how EcoRaider controls pyrethroid resistant bed bugstrains at both the molecular level and in field applications.

October, 2014Entomological Society of America published data: EcoRaider, the most

effective bio-insecticide for bed bugs that out performs leadingsynthetic pesticides.

“My company has used EcoRaider since November 2013 and since that time we haveserviced over 500 bed bug jobs. EcoRaider is the best product we have used and has anexcellent kill rate on first application. It has cut down on the amount of call back requests wereceive.”

— Larry Patrick, CEO, Good Earth Termite & Pest Control, Inc - TN

"We use EcoRaider as part of our heat treatment services for bed bugs. We spray EcoRaider before applying heat to immediately knock down the bed bug populations and then apply our heat treatment. We reapply EcoRaider, if needed, after the heat treatment. EcoRaider has helped us increase our percent control and reduce our bed bug callbacks".

Unfed adults: mahogany to rusty brown color.

Fed adults: engorged and red-brown color.

Nymphs (baby bed bugs): nearly colorless when they first hatch and become brownish as they mature.

Count of Legs - Six legs

Bed Bug ShapeUnfed bed bugs: flat and broad-oval. Fed bed bugs: swollen and more elongated.

Bed Bug SizeNymphs: from 1.3 mm to 4-5 mmAdult : can reach a size of about 1/4 inch long.

Resource - Bed Bug Biology

Life Cycle

Eggs hatch within two weeks

Nymphs grow to full adulthood in 21 days

Go through five stages of development before they reach maturity.

Adult can survive 6-9 months without feeding.

Resource - Bed Bug Biology

Bed Bug Feeding

Require 5-10 minutes to engorge with blood

Insert two hollow, beak-like feeding tubes into their host. The first tube injects the bug's saliva, which

contains anesthetics to numb the feeding area.

The second tube draws blood.

After feeding, they move to secluded places and hide for 5-10 days. digest their meal, mate and lay eggs.

Resource - Bed Bug Biology

Bed Bug Feeding

Attracted to the carbon dioxide emitted by their hosts.

Tend to feed at night on bare skin that is exposed while sleeping.

But are opportunistic insects and will consume a blood meal during the day, especially in heavily-infested areas.

Prefer to feed on humans, but will feed on other warm-blooded hosts (pets).

An adult bed bug can live for several months without a blood meal.

Bed Bug Reproduction

A female bed bug will produce between 1- 7 eggs per day for about 10 days after a single blood meal.

She will then have to feed again to produce more eggs.

A female can produce between 5 and 20 eggs from a single blood meal.

They typically lay their eggs in cracks or rough surfaces.

A single female can produce about 113 eggs in her whole life.

Eggs can be laid singly or in groups. A wandering female can lay an egg anywhere in a room. Photo:CORNELL.EDU

Bed Bug Reproduction

Under optimal conditions, bed bug egg survival rate is 97%

At room temperature (>70°F), 60 % of the eggs will hatch when they are 6 days old; >90 percent will have hatched by the time they are 9 days old.

At lower ambient temperature ( 50°F), egg hatch time can be increased by several days

Under optimal conditions (temperatures 70° ̶ 90°F and in the presence of a host), a bed bug population can DOUBLE IN EVERY 16 DAYS!!
