Goodbye bed bugs, goodbye allergies

I used to be a neat freak when it comes to my children’s toys and clothes. I never leave the house without reminding the person who look after my kids to wash the clothes properly and constantly clean their favorite toys, the ones they carry with them the whole day. I was very protective of them because they get sick more often. I feel like being tormented when both of them are unwell.

The most common ailments that often afflict my kids are bronchitis and asthma. Both illnesses are associated to some form of allergy. Sometimes I blame it on the pesky bedbugs hiding beneath the sheets. They often left visible bite marks on the skin of my kids.

Although our pediatrician didn’t outrightly confirm the association of bed mites to their bronchial and asthma spells, she recommended using Ortho Home Defense Max BEDBUG Killer just to be on the safer side. The doctor said it’s one of the most convenient solutions to bedbug infestation in the US. Aside from bedbug spray, the pediatrician recommended the frequent change of bed covers and pillow cases to keep the creepy bed bugs away from my kids.

I’m happy my children are no longer sickly, we waved goodbye to allergies.

A growing pest problem, bed bugs are creepy, crawly and hard to kill.
