Bed bugs cannot become immune to DX13™.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost other products on the market poison pests with synthetic chemicals. Not only do they expose humans, animals, and the environment to risk, most chemicals dissipate over a short period of time and lose their effectiveness. Our product remains effective after spraying as a preventative measure without posing a risk to humans, animals or the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDX13 Pre-Treatment Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean Unit – All garbage and debris to be removed (if possible).
