Bedbug chemicals used by professional exterminators?

[RayP]

I am trying to find out what chemicals professional exterminators use
against bedbugs.

I see bedbug treatment chemicals and aerosols sold in big box stores etc.,
but I doubt that they contain the same chemicals that professional
exterminators use.

I found some answers to my question. But, since apparently I am the only
person reading or posting here, I'll hold off on posting what I found out.

D.E. \ is the answer.
Diatomaceous Earth. non-toxic. longer lasting , that's why Exterminators
use it .

From all that I have researched and read, Diatomaceous Earth is not "the
answer".

My exterminator didn't use it. I know other exterminators who don't use it.
The pest control supply store that I went to (not a Home Depot or Lowes etc)
doesn't sell it and they say that's because it doesn't work.

On the other hand, I do know of anecdotal reports from individuals who swear
by the stuff.

P.S. If Diatomaceous Earth were "the answer", and if it really did work at
getting rid of bedbugs, it would be used everywhere and we wouldn't hear
that bedbugs are a major concern and hard to get rid of. Instead, whenever
people had bedbugs, they would just go to Home Depot or Lowes etc. and buy
Diatomaceous Earth and use it and their problem would be solved.
