摘要

They say that necessity is the mother of all invention, and for a duo of pest management professionals from American Pest Management (APM), Manhattan, Kansas, that meant finding a way to meet the current bed bug resurgence head-on with new inspectionand treatment programs to proactively handle the in-g problem in their community.

Both of APM's new programs have their roots in the Bed Bug Forum sponsored by the National Pest Management Association earlier this year in Denver. After attending the conference in January, Joey Hoke, general pest control supervisor, APM, was inspired by the ideas and information presented there, but noted a hole in current approaches. "There was so muchgreat information about how to treat bed bugs once a client has an infestation," Hoke said. "But there was little information about how we can be proactive and prevent bed bugs from becoming a problem."
