Bedbugs, Beautiful Creatures or Pests?
Scientists
have been very slow to appreciate the biology of bedbugs despite the
fact that the insects have infiltrated human shelters for thousands of
years.
That’s because the insects practically vanished at the dawn of
modern biology in the 1940s, thanks to the widespread use of DDT. Bedbugs
have returned with a vengeance in recent years, partly because they
have evolved resistance to pesticides, and scientists are struggling to
learn more about these pests.
It’s a much bigger challenge than
examining, say, monarch butterflies.“It’s
very hard to study in them in the wild, because often people don’t want
you to use their house as a laboratory,” said Toby Fountain, a
postdoctoral researcher at the University of Helsinki. “They just want
to get rid of them as quickly as possible.”
With that said, what do you think? Should bedbugs be admired OR should bedbugs be treated like pest? If you chose pest ... then Guardian Pest Control Specialist assess your building's unique characteristics, then implement and
