Who is the bed bug ?

The bed bug (Cimex lectularius), also sometimes called a bed bug, is a particularly resistant blood-drinking insect. Very small (5 to 8 mm) and wingless, the adult bedbug is recognizable by its red-brown color and its oval, flattened body. Not liking the light, it hides in every nook, crevice and small hole, which makes the fight difficult. It particularly affects the surroundings of your bedding, because feeding on blood, it can easily and quickly reach you to bite at night. It is causing great concern in many households around the world. Although these parasites are small creatures, their impact on daily life can be enormous.

Flat and oval in shape, they usually measure only a few millimeters. They are adept at hiding in cracks in beds, mattresses, box springs, furniture, and even electrical outlets. Their small size and ability to hide in the most unlikely places make them difficult invaders to eliminate.

Bed bugs in your home ?

Bed bug proliferation can be rapid, as a single female can lay hundreds of eggs in her lifetime. The eggs hatch within weeks, and the hungry nymphs immediately begin searching for their next meal of human blood. Although their bites are generally not dangerous to health, they can be a source of stress, frustration and anxiety. Severe infestations can also disrupt sleep and impact the general well-being of home occupants.

To be effective, the fight against bedbugs must be carried out over the long term. We at Penn'Ty Bio have several natural products that will help you with this. Using our plant insecticides, methodically spray all the elements of the bedding (frame, slats, box spring, etc.), the grooves in your floors, at the level of the baseboards, without forgetting all the interstices whatever they may be that can lodge bedbug larvae. Do not hesitate to renew the treatment 1 week after the first to make sure you destroy all the bugs which have evolved from the egg stage to the adult stage in the meantime and which you would not have reached on the first pass.

Preventing bedbug infestation is often easier than eliminating them. When traveling, carefully inspect your bedding and luggage to avoid unintentionally bringing bed bugs home. Regularly wash your sheets, carpets and textiles at high temperatures, and use our special mattress and pillow covers to protect them.

Why use natural insecticides ?

Getting rid of bedbugs is one thing, but wouldn't it be even better if you could also protect your health and the environment ? Did you know that certain particles of conventional insecticides remain in your treated rooms for several months ? Fumigants are the worst because the particles fall back onto all the objects, textiles and surfaces in the room. Unless you wash each item thoroughly, you'll inevitably end up with chemical substances. Opting for natural insecticides will not only get rid of bed bugs, but also ensure that you can continue to live in a healthy environment, thanks to the composition of our products and their low persistence.
