Researchers from Rutgers University have found that two “natural” commercial alternatives to pesticides were 90 percent effective in killing and controlling bed bugs. The two products – sold as EcoRaider and Bed Bug Patrol – killed more than 90 percent of the bugs treated with them. Nine other non-synthetic insecticides tested by the Rutgers researchers had any noticeable effects against bed bugs, according to a study published in the Journal of Economic Entomology.
