Bed Bug Research, Management & Mayhem (2 hrs)
Bed bugs are causing chaos throughout the country. In some cities, the phones are ringing off the hook like they once did for termites. What have we learned lately about their habits and impact on human health? What are the most effective products and methods available for battling infestations? How are pest managers and other stakeholder groups responding throughout the country? Cutting-edge research, prevention and management tips will be provided, along with thoughts for staying out of trouble and where we may be headed in the future.
The Itchy Client: Case Studies and Solutions (1 hr)
One of the most maddening (and mishandled) pest control events is when clients complain that they’re being “bitten” by invisible insects. This informative talk describes the most likely sources of such irritations, and provides a blueprint for helping to resolve them. Included are case studies from both residential and commercial accounts. An article, Mystery Bites: Diagnosis & Management, will be included as a handout to educate clientele.
