(Beyond Pesticides, <\/em>March 26, 2013)<\/em> Scientists are learning more about the mechanisms bed bugs have developed to increase their resistance to the increasingly common class of pyrethriod pesticides. The study, published in the journal Scientific Reports<\/i><\/a> in early March, adds further weight to calls from consumer health and environmental groups to adopt proven, non-toxic strategies to manage bed bugs and other household pest problems. After all, if alternatives exist, why put your family at risk with unsustainable, ineffective control methods?<\/p>\n

\"Bed<\/a><\/em>This latest research reveals something scientists had not suspected. Bed bugs are developing most of their resistance-associated genes on the outer layer of their shell. These genes either neutralize the insecticides before they can take effect, or slow down the toxins\u2019 move towards the insects\u2019 nerve cells. In addition, bed bugs in the study also show resistance developing within their nerve cells, the target site for the pesticides. This multilayered resistance is unique, scientists say, but, as Beyond Pesticides has long documented, pest resistance<\/a> to pesticides is not. A 2011 study<\/a> from Ohio State University reveals bed bugs\u2019 ability to evolve hereditary changes in their production of certain enzymes, allowing them to excrete the toxins without being harmed. A study in July of 2012<\/a> confirms the ineffectiveness of pyrethriod pesticides in controlling bed bugs. The research notes that a thin cloth is enough cover for bed bugs to avoid death from the spray even if they are not a pesticide-resistant breed. As co-author Susan Jones, PhD, said at the time, \u201cIf you use these products, you will not get the infestation under control, you will waste your money, and you will delay effective treatment of your infestation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pyrethroid class of \u00a0pesticides, which also include permethrin<\/a>, bifenthrin<\/a>, resmethrin<\/a>, cyfluthrin<\/a> and scores of others, includes synthetic versions of pyrethrins, natural insecticides found in certain species of chrysanthemum. They were initially introduced on the market as \u201d\u02dcsafer\u2019 alternatives to highly toxic organophosphate insecticides, such as chlorpyrifos and diazinon, which were banned for residential use in 2001 and 2004, respectively. However, exposure to synthetic pyrethroids has been reported to lead to headaches, dizziness, nausea, irritation, and skin sensations. EPA classifies permethrin and cypermethrin as possible human carcinogens, based on evidence of lung tumors in lab animals exposed to these chemicals. Synthetic pyrethroids have also been linked to respiratory problems such as hypersensitization, and may be triggers for asthma attacks.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the chemical treatments that are more harmful to humans than bed bugs are also not actually necessary<\/a>. These pests can be controlled by an integrated pest management (IPM) approach, which prioritizes methods such as vacuuming, steaming, and exposing the bugs to high heat. These methods effectively control an infestation without dangerous side effects that can harm human health. This approach, as well as taking steps such as sealing cracks and crevices, reducing clutter, and encasing mattresses can also help to prevent an infestation from taking hold first place.<\/p>\n

There are recent signs that biological controls<\/a> are effective against bed bugs. A preliminary study from Penn State in November 2012 finds the natural fungus, Beauveria bassinia<\/i>, to be effective at controlling the pests. The fungus, a natural disease \u00a0that exists in the environment, can be easily cultured in the lab and applied like many other least-toxic pesticides, according to the researchers working on the study. Importantly, infected bed bugs bring the fungus back to their hiding places, contaminating those who did not venture out in search of a blood meal.<\/p>\n

The bed bug resurgence in the U.S. in recent years has led to public anxiety about the pests and drastic attempts to stem their spread through various means, often including the use of highly toxic and harmful chemicals. However, previous chemical use for bed bugs may have contributed to this resurgence in the first place. Beyond Pesticides strongly encourages residents that have a bed bug infestation to forgo the use of ineffective pesticides, especially in the wake of this recent study.

Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions which affect them directly.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/beyond-pesticides\/","https:\/\/x.com\/ByondPesticides","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bpncamp\/"],"url":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/author\/beyond-pesticides\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10075","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10075"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10075\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10083,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10075\/revisions\/10083"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10075"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10075"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
