Bed Bugs Freezing Treatments

This is a new and innovative method for very safe, poison-free and effective elimination of bed bugs. Whether or not it can be used as a stand-alone product for long-lasting bed bug control is questionable, but it is a wonderful way to quickly eradicate the complete lifecycle of bed bugs, including the eggs, without pesticides! While bed bugs are gaining resistance to pesticides, you can imagine they have no way of gaining resistance to deep sub-zero freezing temperatures. Risk to workers and occupants are almost non-existent. It is important to wear eye protection. Cryonite, is a patented pest control technology for freezing bed bugs with CO2. Cryonite produces a freezing mist that kills as it penetrates deep into the cracks and crevices where bed bugs hide. The use of Cryonite is demonstrated in the photo from Stern Environmental, a leading-edge user of Cryonite in the United States. Cryonite produces a dry mist that is not known to damage most surfaces, although some exceptions do exist. Cryonite has been well tested around the world. This product has not yet achieved large scale acceptance and can be financially prohibitive to acquire. Cryonite was awarded the Best New Product of 2005 by the Society of Food Hygiene in the United Kingdom. Cryonite can be used on food surfaces even while work continues in adjoining food handling areas. For more information about Cryonite, visit CTS Technologies. Since pesticides are not used when freezing bed bugs, it is possible to re-enter the treated area immediately or soon after treatment on the same day. Should pesticides be used, the initial treatment with a freezing technique, such as Cryonite, will allow the pest control company to greatly reduce the volume and assortment of pesticides required.
