A simulated field study was conducted to compare the efficacy of steam application and an insecticide mixture spray (0.05% acetamiprid and 0.06% bifenthrin mixture) against C. lectularius. Three types of furniture (desk chair, upholstered armchair, and wooden table) were treated in the laboratory. The efficacy of the treatments was evaluated by visual inspection and placement of interceptor traps under the legs of the furniture. One hundred mixed stages of an insecticide-resistant population of C. lectularius were released onto each furniture item. After a 10-day acclimation period, each furniture item received steam treatment, insecticide spray, or no treatment. The second application of treatment was conducted 14 d later. Bed bug counts from interceptors and visual inspections were recorded at 13 d and 28 d after the initial treatment. At 28 d, the mean (\u00b1 SE) live bed bug count in the steam, spray, and control group was 1 \u00b1 0, 2 \u00b1 1, and 83 \u00b1 10, respectively. Both treatment methods were highly effective in controlling bed bugs on furniture. The mean bed bug count from interceptors in the steam, spray, and control groups were 0.3 \u00b1 0.2, 11 \u00b1 7, and 47 \u00b1 9, respectively. There was no significant difference in the efficacy between steam and spray treatments based on either visual inspection or bed bug counts from interceptors. However, based on interceptor counts, the steam treatment caused faster bed bug population reduction than insecticide sprays.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jee\/toac070","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,15]],"date-time":"2022-04-15T19:19:48Z","timestamp":1650050388000},"page":"12-18","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Comparative Efficacy of Superheated Dry Steam Application and Insecticide Spray Against Common Bed Bugs Under Simulated Field Conditions"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"116","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7659-834X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rodrigo Soares","family":"Ramos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, Rutgers University , 96 Lipman Drive, New Brunswick, NJ, 08901 , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Cooper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, Rutgers University , 96 Lipman Drive, New Brunswick, NJ, 08901 , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tirthankar","family":"Dasgupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Statistics, Rutgers University , 110 Frelinghuysen Road, Piscataway, NJ, 08854 , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5900-3535","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicole E","family":"Pashley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Statistics, Rutgers University , 110 Frelinghuysen Road, Piscataway, NJ, 08854 , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0214-7236","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Changlu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, Rutgers University , 96 Lipman Drive, New Brunswick, NJ, 08901 , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023021009510938800_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"443","DOI":"10.3390\/insects11070443","article-title":"Evaluation of a non-chemical compared to a non-chemical plus silica gel approach to bed bug management.","volume":"11","author":"Abbar","year":"2020","journal-title":"Insects"},{"key":"2023021009510938800_CIT0002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e26228","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0026228","article-title":"Deep sequencing of pyrethroid-resistant bed bugs reveals multiple mechanisms of resistance within a single population.","volume":"6","author":"Adelman","year":"2011","journal-title":"PLoS One"},{"key":"2023021009510938800_CIT0003","article-title":"State of the bed bug control market.","volume-title":"Pest Control Technol","author":"Anonymous","year":"2021"},{"key":"2023021009510938800_CIT0004","first-page":"213","article-title":"Management using baits,","volume-title":"Biology and management of the German cockroach","author":"Appel","year":"2021"},{"key":"2023021009510938800_CIT0005","first-page":"587","article-title":"Ectoparasites, Part three: Bed bugs & kissing bugs,","volume-title":"Mallis hand book of pest control","author":"Cooper","year":"2010","edition":"Tenth edition"},{"key":"2023021009510938800_CIT0006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"762","DOI":"10.1093\/jee\/tov337","article-title":"Effects of various interventions, including mass trapping with passive pitfall traps, on low-level bed bug populations in apartments.","volume":"109","author":"Cooper","year":"2015","journal-title":"J.
