Will this be a good replacement for Transport GHP?
It takes many years for any insect to build up a resistance to a product and when they do, it is normally due to mis-use of a chemical that allowed them to do this. While it is good if you are treating an area that comes into contact with bed bugs frequently-ie: hotel, apartment, rental homes-to change your active ingredients periodically, you would not need to swap unless you were having a problem. The Transport GHP is a great product for bed bugs, however the manufacturer actually prefers the Transport Mikron for treatments over the GHP. If you wanted to swap to a different product, we would recommend something like Temprid SC that will also have a double ingredient like the Transport. Products like these are specifically designed to have 2 ingredients so that if you run across a bed bug that is resistant to one of them, the other ingredient is there waiting to still kill them. The only known resistance currently is to first generation sythetic pyrethroids. Most insecticides on the market for bed bugs currently are either second generation, or not pyrethroid based at all. Keep in mind you should be using more than just a concentrated product to control a bed bug infestation properly and quickly. Please refer to our article on How To Get Rid of Bed Bugs for more information on treatments.
