Most commercial bed bug killers rely on strong chemical pesticides to eliminate these pests. While they may kill bed bugs, they come with serious health risks, especially for young children and babies. 

🚨 Pyrethroids (Permethrin, Deltamethrin, Cyfluthrin, etc.) 

• Used in most commercial insecticides. 

• May cause skin irritation, allergies, and breathing problems, especially in kids. 

• Bed bugs are becoming resistant to pyrethroids, making them less effective. 

🚨 Organophosphates (Malathion, Chlorpyrifos, etc.) 

• Strong neurotoxins that kill insects by attacking their nervous system. 

• Prolonged exposure can harm brain development in children. 

• Banned in some countries due to health risks. 

🚨 Neonicotinoids 

• Affects the nervous system of bed bugs, leading to paralysis and death. 

• Highly toxic if inhaled or absorbed through the skin, especially in young children. 

🚨 Synthetic Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs) 

• Prevents bed bugs from reproducing, but lingers in fabrics for weeks. 

• Can disrupt hormone function in children.
