    Easiest Bed Bug Job Ever!

    I have a customer that complains she has bedbugs. I did my inspection in the apartment and found there was no furniture or beds. The people are sleeping on the carpet. I consider the apartment to be unoccupied. I gave them glue boards and told them they need to sleep by the glue boards. How would you handle something like this?

    Bed Bug Treatments: Kind of Like Whac-A-Mole.

    I'm from Cincinnati, Ohio. Big problem with bed bugs. They say that the strain of bugs we have here are resistant to chemicals.

Now my problem is that we are finding a few bugs all over – one or two ...

    Do Residuals Really Kill Bed Bugs?

    Have you come across peer-reviewed research journal articles testing the so-called residual effect chemicals have on bed bugs? I understand the dust and DE residual effect if bed bugs walk through this, but have a harder time wrapping my mind around chemical solutions having a residual effect. As far as I know, bed bugs aren't thigmotropic in the true sense as are some species of cockroaches. I...

They have tried heating the bedrooms to 130 degrees for several hours. I plan to spray with the baseboards and crack and crevice. Please advise me on what is the best chemical to use, how often should I spray,...

    Who Started The Bed Bug Chain?

    How active are bedbugs during the day and does this painter's claim sound right? I did a heat treatment to a second floor apartment about 2 months ago. The tenants moved out a month later. I set Verifi traps in the apartment 3 weeks after I did the treatment and used double sided tape along the baseboards and bed frame legs. A few days ago the apartment manager tells me a painter, who was paint...

    Leaving It Up To The Untrained

    Last week I saw a large furniture rental company delivery van across the street. The 2 delivery people had a wooden twin size bed in the driveway and they were spraying it down with one of the ready to use products sold in the big box stores. Then they took the furniture into the home. I get aggravated with companies like this that don't have a clue. If they were treating for bed bugs and told ...
