Abstract
Bed bugs (Cimex spp.) have resurged as a common urban pest over the last two decades worldwide. They are one of the most challenging groups of urban pests facing pest management professionals, largely due to insecticide resistance development and their hiding behavior. Many control methods and tools have been developed to control bed bugs. Nonchemical tools and techniques are essential in bed bug control as they are more reliable than most chemical methods and impose less environmental impact than pesticide-driven programs. This chapter discusses using "low-impact" tools and methods, within an IPM approach to manage bed bugs. Also, effective community-wide bed bug management programs in multifamily housing are explained.
