Product Spotlight: Kills Bedbugs Plus - J.T. Eaton

            I always like to highlight the new products that emerge in the market throughout the year. As you can imagine, with Bed Bug populations on the rise, this particular insect has captivated the pest control audience for the last 24 months. And so, this bug has also captured the eyes, ears, and dollars of the R&D departments of most manufacturers in the industry. The most recent to join the mix is J.T. Eaton with their new aerosol. While the name states what it kills, this product can also be used on ants, cockroaches and dust mites. But since the hot topic these days is the ever increasingly difficult to kill Bed Bug, we will just stick to that for now. Pesticide manufacturers are finding new variations and blends of existing chemicals to be more efficient at bedbug knockdown than the traditional products.

 J.T. Eaton has combined three active ingredients in their new product and has had outstanding results. The first of the three is Pyrethrins, which is a naturally occurring ingredient derived from Chrysanthemum flowers. While it does not have much effect after it dries, Pyrethrins offers an almost instantaneous killing of insects that come in contact with it during the application. The second of three ingredients is Permethrin which is a man-made chemical that offers a slightly slower knockdown of the Bed Bug, but leaves a lasting impression at it will still kill insects for some time after the application. Last, but most definitely not least is Piperonyl Butoxide. Simply put, Piperonyl Butoxide (PBO) helps the first two ingredients be much more effective. Like a human, an insect has pores in its exoskeleton, and the pores are how the chemicals travel inside the insect to attack its nervous system. PBO helps open the pores allowing much quicker travel to the insect’s vitals.

KillsBedbugs Plus is a great new option to try if you have Bed Bugs invading your house. This product can be applied anywhere you might find one crawling around. This one of just a handful of products that can be used not only on the box springs and seams of your mattress, but also on all surfaces of your mattress as well. But it does not stop there. While most infestations begin in a bedroom, they may expand to other parts of the house including other pieces of furniture such as a couch. That is okay, Kills Bedbugs Plus can be sprayed in those areas as well. No matter where you use this product, you will want to keep off of that treated area until the product has had enough time to dry. And since most of the areas that you may use this product are also areas that you are more likely to spend time in, J.T. Eaton recommends that you do not use the product more than 1 time per day. Their product line goes much further than bed bug products, so check out our J.T. Eaton page to other useful products for all of your pest problems.
