The results from a large bedbug study at Ohio State University have been revealed - and they don't look good. According to scientists, bedbugs are turning into super bedbugs by becoming resistant to most common pesticides.
Compared to ten years ago, bedbugs are one thousand times more resistant to chemicals that used to kill them - and are less prone to stress from heat, cold and dehydration.
Even more alarming is that bedbugs in New York City are 250 times more resistant to pesticides than bugs from Florida - which explains why New York has such a massive bedbug problem at the moment.
The report from Ohio State is quite complex, but certainly worth a read if you like waking up in the middle of the night from bedbug nightmares.
Check out this article for more tips on how to detect and remove bedbugs - by taking basic precautions, you may be able to prevent spreading the infestation.
