Investigating Realistic Control Options

摘要

One of the industry's leading bed bug researchers makes her predictions for what's going to happen in the battle against bed bugs in the next 10 years.According to Dr. Dini Miller, professor of entomology at Virginia Tech, Blacks-burg, Va., pest management professionals can usually eliminate bed bugs from single-family homes using current tools such as liquid and residual chemicals, heat and fumigation. However, bed bug issues are only increasing. Asked to predict what PMPs might expect related to bed bug control over the next 10 years, Miller shared her thoughts at NPMA PestWorld 2014 last October."For single-family homes, if somebody wants to get rid of bed bugs, is cooperative and is willing to pay you whatever it takes to get them out of there, no problem," Miller says. "Where we're seeing bed bugs really settle in today is multi-unit housing,and that's very concerning."
