Treating bed bug infestations is Terry’s specialty. Bed bugs usually live in mattresses and other furniture. They tend to come out at night and bite people and pets. These bites can leave itchy red marks all over your body.?Terry uses special equipment to kill the bed bugs in a room. The equipment heats the room up to about 130 degrees Fahrenheit for 24 hours. This high temperature basically cooks the bed bugs, resulting in 100% of the bed bugs dying in the treated room.?Recently, Terry has been flooded with advertisements for “Whiz Bang Insecticide”. The company claims its chemical can kill 99.9% of bed bugs. A second benefit is that the Whiz Bang Insecticide only takes an hour to apply. This means that Terry could treat multiple rooms in a day.Many of Terry’s competitors are switching over to the Whiz Bang Insecticide because the ability to treat multiple rooms in a day helps them make more money.?However, before investing in the tanks and special equipment needed to apply Whiz Bang Insecticide, Terry wants to make sure Whiz Bang Insecticide will work for years to come. Terry is concerned because, in the past, pest managers treated bed bugs with “Invade” brand insecticide. It worked great for a while, but then bed bugs stopped being affected by it. Today most bed bugs are not killed by even super high amounts of Invade Insecticide.For Terry’s investment in Whiz Bang Insecticide to pay off, the insecticide needs to keep working for many years.?Directions: Complete the CER to help Terry figure out if bed bugs are likely to become resistant to Whiz Bang insecticide:Claim: Evidence: (Cite at least two sources)Reasoning:_____teacher check-in ................
