Most folks need to visit their doctor to receive the medication needed to get rid of scabies.

If you need to treat for bed bugs we would recommend using one of our bed bug kits to ensure that you have all of the products necessary for a thorough treatment. Before beginning any treatment, we would recommend that you get a proper identification of the pest you are dealing with, if you have not already done so, so that you can be sure you are using the right product(s) for your needs. You can do this by contacting either a pest control company or the local cooperative extension office in your area.
