In the fight against bed bugs, pest management professionals face a tough adversary. Treating infestations not only demands effort but also quick-acting solutions that can provide lasting results,  ensuring callbacks are kept to a minimum. Dusts can often be an overlooked part of a pest management professional’s toolbox, yet they play a key role in winning the battle. So, what makes dust such an important asset? Let’s dig in.

Speed

Dust itself works by abrading the cuticle that helps a bed bug hold in moisture, effectively causing them to dry out. Dusts will often include one or more active ingredients that attack the nervous system, thereby creating a powerful combination to provide quick knockdown control.

Temprid® Dust from Envu is one such option with two active ingredients, beta-cyfluthrin (pyrethroid) and flupyradifurone (butenolide), that are carried on a silica aerogel, and it can start controlling bed bugs in a little as 10 minutes.* 

Endurance

In addition to providing fast control of bed bugs, dusts can also keep working well after a pest management professional has left. When applied in dry, undisturbed environments, dusts can remain effective for years, providing an additional layer of peace of mind to customers.

Versatility

Dust solutions offer pest management professionals an additional dimension of control of bed bugs. With the ability to be applied with both hand and power equipment, dusts — unlike conventional treatments — penetrate deep into cracks and crevices where bed bugs hide, ensuring thorough coverage even in hard-to-reach areas. Because of this, products like Temprid Dust are the perfect complement to proven spray treatments like Temprid® FX insecticide.

It’s clear the inclusion of dust in the pest management toolbox is a smart strategy. As bed bug populations grow and the fight against these resilient pests becomes even tougher, Envu will be there to provide a variety of effective solutions specifically designed to meet these challenges.
