of the wheels, the ocean comes today's september th. it's hard to believe just how much the stuff go to it needs to hunt down a tiny pest event on some of the account. the phone is on the rad encasing bed. bugs is the champions league of pest control and mit there among the northeast and most dangerous animals out there. and you have to think like a bed bug. where would you find a way to they move where the eggs? it's one of the toughest jobs in pest control and that this really in the savings but california, the

good stuff also is job often requires some fairly large pieces of equipment. when a call from a customer comes in, he tries to prepare himself for anything. he may encounter his pest control vehicle is a regular call with no indication of his line of work. his clients appreciate the discretion so that doesn't alarm the neighbors. yeah, the best time to send the files bed bugs and making a real come back all to think with what to have seen. eradicate that they've made a method for a ton heat. retracing is mossey from form, us go and cyrus surgeons is happening not just an oven environments, but increasingly, and i did. they grew regions like here in southern germany. but once they dug so just main him, they come out, millington,

the dog stick. you can't find without hiding place and save the little lads to wind . people is so afraid of them. anything they drink found blood like van pies. it's just often i'm foss, guys, like, like i said, today is a pest control is off to a youth hostel and i'll put this area. pest control is all from aust. enter discreetly through the back entrance, but close to manage them. a close close has decided to attack the issue open and so begins the search for the needle in the haystack. contrary to popular belief bed bugs have nothing to do with pull hygiene. i mean we've not touched dennis thing, nothing, perfect, great. everything can stay and sees, i'm you know, my vitals with, we had 2 people with bites that seemed to be from bed bugs. i immediately came up and said, and we don't know what's up with the room, but we have to vacate it now. it wasn't in summer cut to assess students and then there's no food for holes. the false to the response to an infestation the best uh,

tracking down these most as of self tends to be exceedingly difficult. in this case, some telltale signs did not. yes, i know, but he is one that was crushed by some poor host. you can tell it's a bed bug from the shape of its body from the 5th on sound. so the suspicions of the hostile manager all confirmed the pest control of tries to determine the scale of the infestation. this is even this combine that i'm in the events that tricky thing about bed bugs from. they've built thousands of options, kind of couldn't be a tiny cranny. one you conduct been fit, you're thinking island take home that they can squeeze in. i decided to something that isn't how much they rented hungry to that high down. so it's tend to wait the next victim to its ends, ends on life, and finally, of just needs to awful lot. how long can they survive without the host? yeah, they're good. so there are studies that say they can leave up to a year without seating. so i'm yonder is how come in now i thought starving then

would be an option. so in that we just wouldn't use the room for 2 months of michigan now as of stopping them like work. unfortunately, i'm leaving light. oh, although the infestation is still my cost list once the room given a thorough treatment in order to prevent the problem from spreading the backend the 20th century, these bugs, the science of apple, seeds were almost wiped out in many parts of the world through the use of d d t, and other no band insecticides the pests developed a resistance to subsequent products. so now the bloodsucking insects all back. it's not just from germany. brisson is also facing a new bed bug plague. and here to the problem is not just found in big cities and some ologist, richard nieland's lives in trip stolen the welsh english border. he spent the last

20 years studying pet bucks. his research lab includes an incubator with up to $50000.00 specimens from a variety of strings. neela has a very special relationship to his bed box. this almost daily ritual certainly wouldn't be to everyone's taste. the research of volunteers himself as host the so methods respond to a carbon dioxide from our press. and so if i don't tell them it's feeding time breeze heavily into the pumps and they will wake up and realize that the speed of ask them to come very active. it's not running around. so it's, it's just cutting the benefits of time to be permeable lives and now the bugs to do just that, which i use my name black because it,

because it works the best i've tried. i've tried to grab it blood sticking blood cheap, but uh take blood. and whenever you use or not, the visual membrane system, you have to treat the blood with some kind of anti coagulant and stuff that clotting. and that just doesn't seem to be very good for bedbugs. and so, so fresh blood is just the best is the best in terms of the numbers of the x they produce and, and that their overall health here, the football, he painstakingly ensures the wellbeing of his bed bugs. what's about his own health? i can feel a slight tingling sensation account for an individual, but spike and kind of feel that maybe slightly cheap but i've yeah, i've been doing it long enough to i didn't scratch anymore. bed bugs do not at least transmit diseases. nailer allows them to feed on his arm and sometimes legs for his own experiments, as well as for research institutes and the pest control industry.

i noticed when i really fee locks, when we get big oh, just the thousands and thousands, i noticed that it was becoming an event that has a test for that. and so, so when it's like that, i take time supplements to stop myself becoming an event. the recent search in bed bug numbers means that businesses booming for his lap in the adjacent building, alexia neva is busy getting an order ready as well, says, i'm doing not too bad. it can save skins of it, right? yeah it's, it's a little bit red, it's not too swollen and it'll go away in an hour or so, but it doesn't feel anything at all. it isn't. it's not 80 or anything like that. so it could be, it won't perhaps. yeah, i read it's bit more than which it does, but not to you, but somebody fits a couple of points today so you can just see the my own submitted to which is i any

i any feedback books as the last result time of the kind of back up the the couple of castle to check that potential bias trustworthy of the rules. some could have dubious intentions. sometimes we ask for maybe 200 bed bugs to select in new york or something and there's no malware explanation. so why they would need that? and so these ones we, we refund them and we, we, we try to avoid those people who have bugs in various stages of life. so transferred to these new vials which on them sealed tight prior to packaging. i'm sending this order will be used to train k 9. that's the complex detection teams will hire these around the bedroom, maybe in a hotel or in a hostile or something like that and use that to use that to train the dog to search for bed books and then the for that service to hotels, hospitals, shelters,

housing, all of the places that really struggle with bedbugs. yeah. hospitals, all 5 star hotels that folks fuzzy about the logins. but these pests are particularly hard to control up in the mountains, which is why sniffle, dogs of important stuff on the housing is a sniffle. dog hemlock, he's trained derrickson robot to track down bed bugs. today he's come to meet about cali, bitch. and me check if i come from the german l time slot. that headed up to a neighbor home to inspect a mountain lodge, where there was an incident of bed bux, last care. the color bitch is in charge of noches and hiking trails at the alpine clump. a bit on some big light noise bed bugs have been with us throughout human history and have become

a growing problem recently. so for you, i have it for years now. we've had large manager is asking us to help them out of desperation. so what's, what size of the launch is almost 2000 meters up near the summit at the last year's infestation was discovered and dealt with quickly that thousands of beds and somebody's a know, checked regularly by detection dogs shop. yeah, i did put an end to this is a large that was completely enveloped in a tarp and then fumigated because a decent that becomes the sole option if you just ignore the problem and the bed bugs are left to just keep on reproducing and couldn't pick it up, the cost back then was between 50 and 70000. euro was both, almost a huge amount of money to take those or low received, elaborate solutions like that a. now a thing of the past these days, the focus is on prevention and early detection,

which was why should defend very housing and his trusty dogs come in, charlotte, some of the all the rooms are open so you can get started. let me know if you need anything done in fact, specialize in doing the adults sensitive noses can sniff out the bed sucks. yeah. unlike most hotels, the german alpine club takes a frank approach to the issue this mission for an eye without knowing all the lodges, i'd say that 10 to 15 percent have to deal with bed bug infestation and defending things, but it's getting worse. and the pet fonts and the bugs don't come from the launches on. they're carried up here from the valley. home depot. sniff adult teams are a blessing for the remote mountain. largest ideal helped us in the fight to control that box. the side of the eastern germany and on the ground coast of also needs how you voltage electricity. he plans to use thermal technology to read the use coastal of it's on the welcome visitors

and this is can find that every one of the most important parts of this that and will treatment is getting the room hermetically sealed. thompson, and you have to be really vigilant because bed bugs are so clever. it's like a hunt and there's some of this in the he's on the act. this stuff also will use is dalia to mesa's us. a natural treatment made from the shop, edged fossilized remains of micro allergy. i am the son of the tiers of the bodies and tries the mouse and the top 10 others. but the most important tool here is this whole add device. bed bugs cannot so fall, even temperature is above $45.00 degrees celsius. the lifestyle slide sounds machine on and then it's going to get toasty and i think that's on

it's nails done. i think that he's out the room to the $55.00 degree target, the temperature, and we'll run so 24 hours the and then $3.00 to $5.00 centimeters into the room on . do you have the faithful temperature of over 45 degrees? total of 1200 of them off. it's a hostile manager. michael sloan is glad he chose the heat treatment option. it might involve the loss of work, an extra cost around a $1000.00 bureaus in this case. but it's considered a very effective define of what the default there was, the risk of it spreading, if it's a people taking them home, or if it getting worse than the building. so i'm happy that we opted for this course of action. finish it or for us with invisible bed bugs, leave behind tiny dark stains spot those on your bed sheets. and it's best to take a closer look

the back to the town of chips sto in person, an instict researcher richard name the the ocean spends the night in his sleep are a tree where he carries those experiments using his own building. he uses a light sensitive camera to capture what happens over night. the vampire is already lying in wait. the research is fully committed to creating realistic conditions, even when it results in some discomforts the do. the insects behave as expected. this time, needless testing a bed bug, trump the as soon as the voluntary host is asleep,

antics hailing c o. 2. the fed folks seized the opportunity to feel as expected. they bite his exposed skin waltz above the covers, the wheels a little blood suck, cuz then full for the 3rd trump. the time lapse from the infrared camera shows what happened through the night. at least the books do not appear to have disturbed his sleep. and the next morning when i started sleeping in the, in the beds, i was just like everybody else and no more responsive. you know, every it to something like to me and i couldn't like, couldn't rest. and now that's completely gone. it doesn't bother me until now. yeah, not enough about neela is testing the appeal of an attractive cocktail with a view to developing a bed bug detect device. okay, i can see i hope i can do

a whole bunch of bugs in that alarm. i'll tap the mouse on the bed so you can see it's still in the test phase. and that's not bad. so that's 99 bugs, 9 bugs and one nights, hunting up by the toll of homeless sing results. neela is not the only one researching ferryman traps for early warning system as all across europe. this growing demand for new methods of bed bug management last ocean. so a media storm following alarming reports out of phones for years. the bed bug problem, the as in many other countries, have been ignored and downplayed box. there's no denying the figures for study for the french agency, for food, environmental and occupational health and safety. found 11 percent of french

households had been bugging for stations from 2017 to 2020, to the agency estimates the economic full out for from to amount to $300000000.00 euros per year. reports of the situation being especially bad in congress with haul to confirm, given the alleged involvement of moscow controlled social media accounts. still, there was good reason to pay close attention to the french capital as host of the 2020, full summer and then pick games. the issue of bed bugs was even addressed in parliament . while many hotels struggled to confront the issues, one hotel in molar the suburb of paris is taking an open approach. rather than ignoring the problem, the hotel pre ems visitors concerns by using an advertising, an early warning system suites hotel you max,

mike has made the project a top priority for him, it's clear on concept fran says 80000000 taurus per years. they are the ones bringing the bed buggy, voiding the events a visa to spread his pain guesses. in a moment of surprise, he decided to go on the offensive. as a friend told him about to start up in cambridge, england developed an advanced monitoring system of to learning more. mike, how became one of the systems 1st uses the soviet calling him this room has already been made today. get mazda parts. this isn't the 1st time he showed no assessor the these were the or this is where the system has been installed the system, the fees of a discrete little box under the mattress of activity the,

to the bed bugs are lowered into the box in a 200 mall city, but once they're inside the device, takes a photo, new email and sends it to the hotel manager and maintenance. i thought where you should know along with the room number, look, tension maintenance manager a little bit. but 1st, that's information to send to the systems creators in cambridge for evaluation. the team app spell. so it keeps track of thousands of hotel rooms across europe in order to ensure early detection of any bed bug infestation commercial contracts. the company says it's accuracy rate is over 90 percent. a few months ago, the system registered a bed bug and they bring much small cost to take immediate action for him, the additional costs, $0.14 a nights and room have set the paid off. in switzerland. it's very cold,

far as he used to have compiled records of bed book cases for some 30 years. and the fitness suggests an upward trend opiates, with a dip during the coated 19 pandemic. and experts say the figures from missouri could be roughly transferable to other european cities data in other cities. this falls due to bed bugs, not being disease transmissions. technically they're considered nuisance. pests do not have to be reported opinion is devoid of of whether that's good or not. and then a deficiency, i don't think reporting should be mandatory when my gets over. i don't see any advantage from that stuff done. so for a pilot, a inside that when you have to pull that carpet from the drum and alpine club would welcome such a means for he is. he's been fighting against bed bugs in the countries mountain

notches. he would like to see greater transparency and more information in connection with the issue encouraging and the hospitality industry and assets have to be done to know 1st that would give us more precise figures on just how frequent infestation is are going to get since 2nd. it would force people to exchange information beautifully that might make it easier to keep bed bugs under control inside. the l. pine club is under pressure. to date, the economic losses of infestation has amounted to a number in the highest exp, bigger range caller, which has had a lot of convincing to do even within the association. well, the most policies now agree his boss had a personal experience with bed bugs just last year. he had to pull it off to a strong reaction to the binds as this one challenge the bite marks had to discharge and then swelled up from the scrubber by head sleepless night because i

just couldn't lie still as if i wouldn't wish it on any one's the once we realize it was bed bugs, we instituted a plan of action, so we backed everything and put it into freezer and vacuum to every nook and cranny, stuff every day. it's something you don't want in your home. that's kind of the task as i'm i think it's all of them together with the german environment agency in 2019. the alpine club published an informational process. what visitors, among decade consultants, biologist, electronic she completed had a total pieces on the bed bugs, and now runs her room reception of laura tree. i thought you brief bed bugs sized among other things, but not too many these days. we now get most of ours from brittany. hyundai palm spent 10 years at the environmental agency working on pest control

methods. in 2020, she set up for an contract research company together with her colleagues on let me see if we tested the effectiveness of insecticides for certification or the development of new products. such old frequently involves working with toxic substances. in this case, applying a contact insecticide to see how effective inches such tests are required by law for the approval of insecticides. tell me and i'll note them down this product as working as intended, ala mentioned, males and females all dead, all dead in the 2nd, replicate to cut off on the, toward the resistance is becoming increasingly common with the insects. no longer reacting to the talk. since the biologist is concerned about the future, it was just a taste we're seeing this with most of our room and

a nuisance pass. because they're being fault with insecticides that have similar active ingredients. we now have hardly any effective and tight bed bug agents on the market. in fact, just to, um, i guess you can always like fly female bed folks all highly reproductive. and that's what makes an infestation so dangerous. it makes taking immediate action all the more important from the stake end i up to 250 eggs over their lifetime on the young hatch. and the females continue laying eggs once fertilized bailey again and again. which means that reproduction is a very high rate in life to look for on the females will stick the eggs to any suitable object, including the seams of suitcases of spring, take one or 2 weeks to hatch from the they can continue to spread. the lab has received its latest order of bed bugs from richard nina in person found

upon this getting more and more of the insects via post. she's scaled back her own breeding program, which involves feeding the bed bugs with pigs blood via and also special membrane industry. customers are willing to pay more for insects that has been produced under the most realistic conditions possible. so long as the customers feel, it's a safer bet, in terms of certification when we take bed bugs that have been fed on humans, like in real life all over in chip. so richard name is infects, fed with his own blogs, are essentially the gold standard in the pest control industry. and walks more his bed populations hailed from a range of different decades. the we have lots of different populations that bed bugs, some of the moving in culture for a very long time. this one, this one, hey,

was clicks in london, but it was something like 4045 years ago. and the same for this one from germany. and then we've got populations the more recently collected, i'm gonna do that because more than bad books are very persistent to insecticide. and so we want to know we want, we want realistic model type of so i'm gonna testing products and say we have yeah . as many populations as we can get overland friends and pest control, listen to me samples when if we have, whenever i get the chance, neela now has customers all over the world. over the years he's become more and more reflective on his area of expertise. the longer i've worked on them, the more interested up become i think it's amazing that an insect can make to come back at a time when humans are wiping out speech. he's faster than ever before. and they, and they can do and i'll bet it's, you know, it's like a, it's like a, yeah, yeah, i was respect for them or something. yeah. and in, in order of an insight to that,

to make, to come back like that. back into the area pest control of kristof auto is paying a follow up visit to the youth hospital. his heat treatment system has been up and running for over 24 hours in the room infested with bed. bucks behind him in the land. the 3 centimeters into the wall. we've reached a temperature of about $48.00 degrees. it worked great to me. you see me in here? i thought it'd be dryer chevy. i'm it sense within the cool us. we now have condensation from the water at the coolest expulsion of the will now circulate rather quickly at home, but the room will remain warm for a few morales friends. the sounds investigated seeing the dead insects and that's one. and we'd be sure the temperature was high enough everywhere. front back frontier. i said, yes, it was over 45 degrees. every with the many hours that we live with from premier

mission accomplished the us to just finish down animals, you see everything from 5 star hotels to vacation upon it is you false deals in people's private homes and with how things have developed over the last 2 years a company, i can see it becoming an even more serious problem. come the end of it. the big business full pest control is bad news for travelers. the, the well has dried family who's saying in iraq lives with climate change, a little bit in
