Bed bugs have become a major threat for residential and commercial property owners in South Carolina. These pests were nearly eradicated by widespread use of DDT but have been making a comeback in recent years. Entomologists speculate that the return of bed bugs may be due to increased international and domestic  travel, lack of public awareness, the ban on DDT, and a higher resistance to currently used pesticides.
