Most American homes\u2014whether they\u2019re houses, apartments, or something in between\u2014have bugs. A 2016\u00a0study<\/a>\u00a0estimated that there are more than 100 species of creepy crawlers in the average house.\u00a0Pest Web<\/a>\u00a0suggests the global insect pest control market will hit $17.3 billion by 2022.<\/p>\n
