Talk:Bed bug control techniques

There are quite a few inaccurate statement here. I wasn't aware of this page - corrected the opening comments about bed bugs staying near the host as this is quite incorrect as it was.They like to be near the host, but will spread extensively as population builds up. I don't have time today to make corrections, but will return and carefully edit so that the information is accurate.. Right now..lots of things not quite correct or that give the wrong impression. still, good page .. let's just get it right... 64.56.253.1 (talk) 01:51, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

We really need to educate in this article about Integrated Pest Management.The title also needs to be changed.The methods shown are mostly not done in isolation,therefore comparisons here are not balanced. An IPM approach includes vacuuming, steaming, use of pesticides, sealing, education of tenants, homeowners,and landlords,use of monitoring devices.. etc.. etc... Even an approach like heat treatment can be used as the mainstream treatment but also as part of a standard treatment when items are treated by heat in a chamber or van.. the piece about disease spread was really misinformation and could frighten people. An extensive study by Jerome Goddard a respected Medical Entomologist and colleagues, noted that there was not any evidence in the literature of a single case of bed bugs vectoring any infectious disease. 64.56.253.1 (talk) 02:07, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
