THE ADVANTAGE OF PREVENTION
Unlike traditional methods and pesticides that are used when a bed bug infestation is a fact, Nattaro Labs' products can be used before, during and after a bed bug infestation. By having our products in place, they offer long-term continuous preventive treatment that stops any possible infestation from spreading and becoming epidemic. This saves costs in treatment and creates peace of mind for residents and property managers alike. Our products can also be used as a complement to conventional treatment methods and in the follow-up.

Bed bugs – a growing problem worldwide
There is still a great deal of uncertainty about what has led to the re-emergence of the bed bug on a wide scale, as it was previously virtually eradicated throughout the Western world. An important factor is believed to be the adaptability of bed bugs to survive close to us and to develop resistance to different types of insecticides. Other explanations are globalisation with accompanying trade and travel, both for business and leisure. Continued global urbanisation and the large number of migration flows could also be a cause, leading to an increasing number of geographical places having a continuous exchange of goods and people.
As more and more private households and hospitality establishments have problems with bed bugs, the risk increases for a spread in our public spaces, such as libraries, nursing homes, hospitals and transportation.
How to prevent bed bugs
Bed bug treatments are costly and time-consuming both for pest control companies and the ones affected. Not to mention the mental suffering that can be involved with having an infestation in your home. Being proactive and preventing an infestation from spreading in the first place is paramount.
Avoiding infestations can be done both by changing behaviour and having preventive solutions put in place. For private households, taking precautions when travelling and being cautious when bringing second-hand furniture home can be important actions. Construction and property managers can take proactive measures by installing bed bug skirting boards. Hospitality managers can work on hotel cleaning protocols, while installing bed bug tape in hotel beds and having bed bug detection traps placed in the rooms.
