The BASF Proactive Bed Bug Treatment Protocol was developed to explore whether steps can be taken to reduce the likelihood that a bed bug infestation will take hold and spread. The protocol utilizes nonrepellent Prescription Treatment® brand Phantom® Pressurized Insecticide, Phantom® termiticide-insecticide, and Prescription Treatment® brand Alpine® Dust Insecticide to halt the spread of bed bugs.
