Study Identifies Most Effective Natural Bed Bug Killer

New Brunswick, NJ (PRWEB) June 13, 2013
A study was conducted by the Rutgers University Entomology Lab recently comparing effectiveness between some most seen over-the-counter products and identified EcoRaider, a product provided by Reneotech Inc, as the top bed bug killer among 11 other brands.  This study highlights the effectiveness of this all-natural bed bug spray and provides an alternative for synthetic pesticides being used inside a home.

The Rutgers Entomology Laboratory, one of the most renowned in the country, conducted two sequential experiments analyzing the effectiveness of each spray on a number of bed bugs from a pre-determined distance.  As reported in Pest Control Technology, "EcoRaider caused 100 percent mortality after 10 days in both tests."

With the expense of heat and steam treatments often the only alternatives pursued by homeowners, an effective and safe do-it-yourself solution to complement or replace such costly efforts has been pursued.  With many products on the market making unsupported claims and with limited government regulation, the need for a scientific study was necessary to clarify which products are truly effective.

 "We have worked tirelessly on the formulation of our product," said Vincent Yancoskie, the EcoRaider spokesperson. “The fact that we have strict FDA GRAS compliance ensures the user that all ingredients are natural or safe cosmetic grade. And this study confirms its effectiveness."

In addition, the Federal Trade Commission has grown increasingly concerned about unsubstantiated claims from bed bug sprays both in terms of their alleged effectiveness and their safety claims.  This resulted in fines of several hundred thousand dollars administered by the FTC.  One manufacturer even claimed their spray created an "invisible barrier" against future infestations.

 Bed bugs have been a growing public health pest in recent years, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Consumers plagued with bed bugs experience considerable stress, discomfort, and expense in attempting to rid themselves of these pests, and many are unaware of the complex measures needed to prevent and control them, according to the EPA.

Now in addition to the pain and discomfort of a bed bug infestation, add the liability. According to a report from New York Daily News posted on June, 3rd, a jury in Maryland awarded $800,000 to a tenant who proved that her landlord did not treat the problem properly and harassed her when she complained.

Bed bugs continue to be major problems, mainly in cities where they can be carried to new apartments and homes nearby quickly.  Whether they are traveling on their own or hitching a ride on clothing, bedding or furniture, bed bug infestations have grown to epic proportions over the last several years.  Despite treatment by pesticides, steam and heat, they persist.  Therefore the search for a reliable, effective treatment alternative has been actively pursued.

EcoRaider was created under the call for such demand.  Its core ingredients include extracts from multiple aromatic plants that have natural insecticidal power and other safe content that is used in many cosmetic products. Safe as it is, yet it works powerfully on bugs.

To quote the study, "EcoRaider caused 100 percent mortality after 10 days." Both the strength and long-lasting nature of the spray were noted as being unusually effective for natural products rather than synthetic ones.  Read the full articlehere on line.

“While the study shows 10-day residue efficacy of EcoRaider, actually 90% of the bed bug were killed in the first hour,” Mr. Yancoskie pointed out.     

EcoRaider has a unique- micronized high penetration delivery system that can easily get through the insect skeleton and even the egg shell. Natural active ingredients with special insecticidal power are encapsulated in micro-scale particles by means of a scientifically formulated emulsion system which consists of bio-friendly surfactants and synergists derived from natural sources. The delivery system acts as a booster rocket that carries the active ingredients into the insect's body and lets it attack from the inside. Even the slightest amount of contact with EcoRaider is lethal to a bed bug.

Therefore, before you engage a company to do the job - which often requires multiple visits over a period of time, you may wish to try products such as the top-rated EcoRaider, which can be much more cost effective when used in the recommended ratio of 1 gallon per 1,000 square feet.   With the high cost of full-house fumigation, you owe it to yourself to try d-i-y products first, especially when the latest ones have been judged safe and effective.

Bed Bug Infestation – Preparing for the Spring Break Offensive


In the midst of a flurry of preparations for spring break travel, the last concern on anyone’s mind is that spring break probably means another bed bug outbreak. Meanwhile, local news across the United States in cities such as Detroit, Charlotte and New York are flooded with reports of a virtual epidemic of bed bugs. Signs of the parasitic insects are discovered in homes, hotels, and schools throughout the nation as they leave behind a trail of itching bite marks and rashes. In preparation for spring break’s onslaught of bed bugs, EcoRaider provides valuable information to assist with bed bug prevention and protection.

Following an intensive development and testing process, EcoRaider has produced an herbal based formula that causes fatal paralysis in insects eliminates the toxicity of synthetic pesticides, rendering it harmless to animals and humans.

According to Scientific American, bed bugs have undergone a revival within the last decade “due to densely populated urban areas, global travel and increasing pesticide resistance.” With the increase in bed bug resistance to synthetic pesticides, the range of effective weapons against bed bugs has shrunk significantly. The ideal solution to the bed bug epidemic must meet the following criteria:

1.    Effectively eliminate bed bugs
2.    Prevent bed bug re-occurrence
3.    Safe for children, pet and indoor use
4.    Does not leave harmful residue behind
5.    Practical and affordable

Currently, there are very few effective preventive techniques to counter the spread of bed bugs into homes, and no acknowledged solutions to the existing epidemic. Additionally, the risk of incurring bed bug bites during travel remains unaccounted for.

The majority of bed bug complaints tend to occur during peak traveling periods due to the fact that bed bugs are transported across the country by unsuspecting travelers that pick them up in hotels, public transportation, and many other places.

Although bed bugs are widely distributed across all fifty states, including Alaska, they are most often encountered in densely populated urban areas where they feed on the abundance of human blood. As a result, the probability of encountering bed bugs in interstate travel is quite high. This puts many spring break travelers at risk for the rashes and sickness that are often brought on by bites.

Therefore, the best strategy for both prevention and protection is abed bug extermination substance that is truly effective and portable, yet safe to use. EcoRaider comes highly recommended as the solution for the bed bug epidemic, and has been optimized for travel utility.

About EcoRaider:
EcoRaider is a patented product scientifically made by Reneotech Inc, a New Jersey based company that has been built on solid research and development. Since the first EcoRaider bed bug spray formula prototype was created in 2008, the company has filtered through more than a hundred possible formula combinations and has successfully launched the ultimate all-natural bed bug killer product that has outstanding efficacy proven both in the lab and in the field.
