dc.description.abstractThe common bed bug, Cimex lectularius, the species most adapted to living with humans, has resurged throughout the world and in many parts of the U.S. in recent years. This species was introduced to the U.S. in the 17th century by early colonists. Eff ec�� ve chemical control of bed bugs began with the widespread use of DDT. Since DDT was banned in the U.S. in 1972, bed bugs have been controlled with pyrethroid insec�� cides. Increased global travel, resistance to pyrethroid insec�� cides, widespread use of insec�� cidal baits instead of foliar spray treatments for ant and cockroach control, and lack of public awareness are key factors that have contributed to the resurgence of bed bug infesta�� ons in homes, hotels and other public buildings.en_US
