Bed bugs infest areas in a seemingly unpredicted and persistent way. Treating bedbugs requires lots of patience, rounds of products, and a change of habits. In fact, some bedbugs have become immune to popular chemical sprays, adapting themselves to become harder to exterminate. For humans, bed bugs can be eliminated using a fungal-based biopesticide, a chemical application developed by researchers at Penn State to solve the issue entirely. The new technology can also be used in agricultural regions throughout the world, impacting crop growth.

Treating bedbugs relates to environmental science because bedbugs primarily rely on animals to survive. They interact with the environment by sucking blood from living things. An issue that bed bugs pose is its lack of beneficial contribution in the environment, while affecting others. For humans, maintaining an orderly house, free of pests, is the first start to productivity and solving problems in the world. Maintaining the level of bed bugs in a house is vital to maintaining a healthy mind and a productive routine.
