It started to infest on the old sailing ship. Bedbugs are rated as the top three pests in around the colony. Survey shows that 1/3 of the populations were infested in the cities and they are called public enemy number one. Suddenly the bedbug disappeared in mostly developed countries. The impact of DDT and other pesticides has helped to kill these bugs. The DDT is sprayed or dusted on the areas where this bug resides. The control of this bedbug last for a year or more. Although the resistance on DDT has developed on the bugs, there are still pesticides that stayed effective with other chlorinated hydrocarbons and the organophosphate insecticide Malathion.
