Hitchhiking Across the Globe The past decade has seen an astronomical resurgence of Bed Bugs believed to be almost extinct in the 1900s. Increased International Travel and prohibition of DDT in the US are believed to be the factor. These parasitic pests are currently earning a costly (and itchy) reputation by infesting all types of spaces where people travel, sit and sleep, and spreading out beyond just the bed. • 5 Star Hotels and Resorts • Retail Establishments • Movie Theaters & Entertainment complexes • Public Schools & Universities • Airplanes/Airports • Public Transportation • Apartment Buildings • Cruise Lines • Taxi Cabs • Hospitals
Significant Emotional & Financial Tolls • 76% of pest professionals say bed bugs are the most difficult pest to treat – more than cockroaches, ants and termites* • “Some bed-bug experts say it’s not unusual for an infested family or company to spend upwards of $5,000 in its efforts to get rid of the critters.”– New York Times *University of Kentucky Bed Bug Survey
The Current Marketplace • Dangerous: Current pesticides are unsafe for guest customers and staff to come in contact with • Ineffective: Re-branded formulations from the last century prove to be ineffective, capitalizing on the fears and worries of consumers • Destructive: Damaged or stained mattresses, retail items and furniture must be thrown away and come at a cost to the owner • Costly: Heat treatments can weigh heavy on the finances of a company or establishment with an infestation • Lengthy: Treatment is usually dragged out over hours – even days
“If anything, the products promoted (at the 1st annual Bed Bug Summit) revealed that there is, for now, no single, agreed-on answer to the problem.” • MONICA DAVEY, New York Times …UNTIL NOW!
