Global bed bug summit wraps up in Indianapolis with record attendance by those seeking the
latest in bed bug research
Developments in bed bug heat extermination equipment stagnate
Bed bug infestations worldwide expected to continue to grow at an alarming rate
Green Tech Bug Heat featured on the Billy Goes North TV show: Let’s get started!
The global bed bug summit wrapped up this week with a reported record number of attendees
having made the trip to Indianapolis.
Featured over the three day summit, which hi lighted the latest in bed bug research,
extermination techniques and scientific studies from everything ranging from thermal kill
time updates to CO2 attractant efficacy, were scientists and researchers from around the
globe.
Attendees of the annual summit were brought up to speed on everything from best practices
to what type of extermination products were working best on these burgeoning critters
to the latest in bed bug mating characteristics.
Of particular interest to many at the conference were the lectures on the increased number
of chemically resistant strains that are now being seen and how best deal with them.
Despite the flurry of activity and innovation in the area of killing bed bugs with heat
seen at the introduction of commercial bed bug heat treatment systems just a few short
years ago, innovation in this area has stagnated.
On display at the recent global bed bug summit were the three most commonly used heat treatment
systems that have been used for some time now.
All three thermal kill systems were represented including propane, electric and glycol.
Despite some minor changes having been made, these three systems remain much the same as
when they were first introduced to the market years ago.
According to researchers, the bed bug problem in first-world countries will not abate anytime
soon.
In fact, the problem is expected to continue to worsen significantly over the next five
years.
While there are some known socio-economic factors involved, researchers maintain that
a combination of many factors plays into the increase in bed bug activity worldwide.
Scientists at major learning institutions such as Ohio State University and Purdue continue
their work in an effort to further understand the critical elements of bed bug entomology
in their pursuit of stemming their propagation.
Bed bug news was told that research into bed bugs will continue to increase in direct relation
to government funding in this area.
Green Tech Bug Heat, the leader in bed bug extermination in Toronto using heat to kill
bed bugs, was featured recently on the show Billy Goes North.
Aired on CMT Network, Billy Goes North is a spinoff of the wildly popular show Bill
The Exterminator which features subculture icon Billy Bretherton as he travels to different
locals and finds himself working with local pest control operators to solve some of the
more interesting jobs.
Working with Green Tech Billy and the crew solve a massive bed bug problem in a rental
home by cooking the thousands of bed bugs until none remained alive.When contacted for
comment, Bretherton stated “if you thought season one was good, just wait ’til next
year”.
Hundreds of thousands of Billy fans eagerly await season two which will begin airing next
fall.
