Pest Control Professionals
The recent resurgence of the bed bug, Cimex lectularius L. (Heteroptera: Cimicidae), in the United States, Canada, Australia, and some European countries triggered strong interests among researchers and the pest control industry to investigate effective bed bug management tactics (Cooper 2006, Gangloff- Kaufmann et al. 2006, Harlan 2006,Doggett 2007). Bed bug infestations often go unnoticed until becoming a serious problem.
The first edition of the ‘Code of Practice for the Control of Bed Bug Infestations in Australia’ (CoP) was produced in response to the re-emergence of bed bugs as a common public health pest.
Call several companies. Introduce yourself and explain your interest in safer, more effective bed bug control through Integrated Pest Management. It is important to shop around—not all pest control companies are the same; make sure you spend the time to find the right company. Don’t just go with the lowest bid—make sure you hire a company that will really treat the problem. This may not mean the company that is the cheapest, but it will save you time, and even money, to treat it properly the first time.
