How comparisons work

Bed Bug Killers Treatment Comparison Methodology

We compare methods across the same questions: evidence required, target and reach, residual action, preparation, safety, limitations and verification.

Evidence hierarchy

UK safety and public-health statements use HSE, NHS and GOV.UK sources. Performance claims use peer-reviewed research where a suitable study is available.

Laboratory efficacy is not presented as a guarantee of whole-property eradication.

No universal winner

A method can be strong for exposed insects and weak for hidden harbourages, or provide residual action without immediate visible results. The useful comparison states both.

No treatment method pays for position in the comparison.
