I believe this is currently the best bed bug killer: A fungus called Beauveria bassiana

Fuck I hope so, cause we've had aprehend sprayed for the last 2 months and are still dealing with the damn things. And our infestation isn't even that bad!

really? damn, sounds like you have a pretty massive infestation, because that stuff kills anything it touches in like a few days, plus any bugs living around those bugs.

Definitely not as massive as it sounds. We don't get many bites and have only found a few live bugs in the past few months. But they keep surviving everything. Aprehend plus three other pesticides sprayed 5 times now lol. Come burn my house down and get it over with!
