the one bed box looking at the clothes on president of the program and is moving in on vent towards. i'm finished managing berlin. thanks for joining us here in about 45 minutes. i sorry. one on 6 times to chris county, more people than ever on the move worldwide and such a gun. one is very hard to say, very difficult to find out about time on student info microns. it's hard to believe just how much the stuff to needs to hunt down

a tiny pest event on some of that kind of phone is on the rad occasion. bed bugs is the champions league of pest control mit there. among the northeast and most dangerous animals out there, and you have to think like a bed bug. where would you hide? where did they move? where the eggs? it's one of the toughest job's in pest control, and that this really likes to initiate things to california. the good stuff also is job often requires some fairly large pieces of equipment. when a cold 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 websites and the files and bed bugs, it may seeing

a real come back all the same with thought to a scene or advocated that they've made a mess. a for a ton heat. retracing is resolved, must be from form us and service surgeons is happening, not just an oven and volumes, but increasingly, and i did, it grew regions like here in southern germany. but once they dug, so just main. they come out at millington, the dog that keep con, find with hiding places. the little lads to white people is so afraid of them. they think they drink town blood like vampires. it's just often i'm foss, guys, like, like i said, today the pest control is off to a youth hostel and i'll put the ve area pest control is ultimate us to enter discreetly through the back entrance, but close to manage them. a close, close has decided subtract them, the issue opened and so begins the search for the needle in the haystack. contrary to popular belief bed box have nothing to do with pul hygiene. i

mean, we'd not touch dennis thing, nothing. perfect, great. everything can stay nancy's, i'm yeah, my bite of 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 in hours within some students and let us know if it falls the fall. so the response to an infestation, the best of tracking down these most as of stuff tends to be exceedingly difficult . in this case, some tell tale 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 and if it's on sound, so the suspicions of the hostile manager all confirmed the pest control electronic is to determine the scale of the infestation. this is even this combined the events that tricky thing about bed bugs from. they've built thousands of options kind of could be a tiny cranny. one,

you can't even fit your thinking island take home, but they can squeeze in of the substance. and there isn't a whole much davidson hungry to that high down, so tend to wake the next victim to its ends, ends on life. and finally, all, it just makes the 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 they can come in. now i thought starving them would be an option, so in that we just wouldn't use the room for 2 months of michigan now. eh, 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 sides of the 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 coming to upside 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 this for you to bass and become very active. it's not running around. so it's, it's just cutting the benefits of time to be upon the of the legs, allow 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 will help here, the law, he painstakingly and shows the wellbeing of his bed bugs. what's about his own health? i can see in

a slight tingling sensation account for an individual bite spot. can kind of feel that maybe slightly cheap but, 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 feed lots, when we get big oldest, 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 it's a sign supplements to stop myself becoming an event. the recent sergeant bed bug numbers means that businesses booming for his life in the adjacent building, alexia neva is busy getting an order ready as her husband arrives with

a freshly fed insights and houses um, doing not too bad. it can save skins of it, right? yeah it's, it's a little bit red is not too swollen and it will go away in an hour or so, but it doesn't feel anything at all. it doesn't. it's not 80 or anything like that . so it could, it won't perhaps. yeah, i read it's bit more than which it does, but not to you, but so i fetch a couple of pumps today so you can just see the my own submitted to which is all you need. i any feedback books as the last result time of the kind of back up in the the couple of castle to check that potential bias trustworthy of the rules. some could have dubious intentions. sometimes we ask for a, the 200 bed bugs, 2 slots in new york or something and there's no email or explanation for 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 are then sealed types 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 hospital 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, and shelters housing, all the places that really struggle with that books. yeah. hospitals. 05 star hotels, bed bugs um, fussy about the lodgings. but these pests are particularly hard to control up in the mountains, which is why sniffle dogs often brought to steph, i'm very housing is a sniffle. dog hemlock. he's trained derrickson robot to track down that box.

today he's come to meet about cali, bitch, and me check if i cobble from the german l time club. the headed up to naval home to inspect a mountain lodge where there was an incident of bed bugs lost here. the color bitch is in charge of nudges and hiking trails. at the alpine clump. a bid on some big light noise bed bugs have been with us throughout human history and have become a growing problem. recently. i meant to ask for yada for years now. we've had lodge manager is asking us to help them out of desperation. some give us what size of the launch is almost 2000 meters up near the summit at the me. the last year's infestation was discovered and dealt with quickly that thousands of beds and somebody's and know, checked regularly by detection thoughts sharpie, i did put an end to this is the lodge 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 $50.70, euro supposed almost a huge amount of money to take those or low received elaborate solutions like that on. now with thing of the post these days, the focus is on prevention and early detection, which was wish to fund very housing and his trusty dogs coming up. so i liked some of the all the rooms are open so you can get started. let me know if you need anything done, fax, this island to us. the adults sensitive noses can sniff out the bed sucks. unlike most hotels, the german alpine club takes a frank approach to the issue distribution for an eye without knowing all the lodges. i'd say that 10 to 15 percent have to deal with bed bug infestation. and if anything,

it's getting worse and the big fonts and the bugs don't come from the launches on. they're carried up here from the valley. sniff adult teams are a blessing for the remote mountain launches. ideal helped us in the fight to control that box, the further east in germany, and on the ground coast of also needs how you voltage electricity. he plans to use thermal technology to rip the use coastal of it's on the welcome visitors hey, this is can find that every one of the most important parts of the federal 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. austin has some of this and he's on the act. this stuff also we use is dalia to may. shes us a natural treatment made from the sharp edge fossilized remains of micro algae. 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 survive in temperatures about 45 degrees celsius. make those flight sounds machine on, and then it's going to get toasty. and then some other things it's, um, it's males don't think that he's out the room to the $55.00 degree target the temperature signal, and then we'll run so 24 hours the inside of in 3 to 5 centimeters into the room. and do you have the faithful temperature of over $45.00 degrees? typically september $1200.00 of them, of insect on device hostile manage a macro also is glad he chose the heat treatment option. it might involve the loss of work and extra cost around a $1000.00 bureaus in this case. but it's considered 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 up a for us within days will be done in 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 and insect reset should, which should name the ocean spends the night in his sleep flip or 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. as soon as the voluntary host is asleep, antics hailing seer to the bed folk seized the opportunity to feed. as expected, they bite his exposed skin once above the covers. the wheels a little blood suck has been full for the 3rd trump. the time lapse from the infrared camera shows what happened through the night. at least the bugs do not appear to have to stop to sleep. and the next

morning when i started sleeping in the, in the beds, i was just like everybody else and no, 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 the vanilla is testing the appeal of an attractive cocktail with a view to developing a bed bug detecting 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. not so bad. so this 99 bugs, 9 bugs in 1900 not by the toll of promising results. neela is not the only one researching firm and traps for early warning system as all across europe. best

growing demand for new methods of bed bug management. last awesome. 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 a study for the french agency for food, environmental and occupational health and safety found. and 11 percent of french households had been bug infestation 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 paris with hall to confirm given the alleged involvement of most go 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 issue, one hotel in molar the suburb of powers is taking an open approach. rather than ignoring the problem, the hotel, pre em visitors concerns by using and 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 $80000000.00 taurus per years. they are the ones bringing the bed bug labeling . move onto the a, steve. it's a spat 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 that developed an advanced monitoring system. after learning more,

mike had became one of the systems 1st uses the soviet calling here. this room has already been made today. good mazda parts. this isn't the 1st time he showed no specifics on the page where the this is where the system has been installed. the system seems of a discrete little box under the mattress. a tv lift, you know, the bed bugs are lowered into the box in a 200 mall. so, but once they're inside the glass and the device takes a photo, new email and sends it to the hotel manager and maintenance. and i thought, well, you should know along with the room number look 10 sheila maintenance manager role tech. but 1st, that's information to send to the systems creators in cambridge for evaluation. the team apps also keeps track of thousands of hotel rooms across europe in order to

ensure any 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 page all in switzerland. jericho, far as he used to have compiled records of bed bookcases for some 30 years. and the figure suggests an upward trend will be used with a dip during the coded 19 pandemic. and experts say the figures from missouri could be roughly transferable to other european cities data in other cities as small as due to bed bugs, not being disease transmissions. technically they're considered nuisance. pests do

not have to be reported opinion is divided over whether that's good or not. and then made efficiency. i don't think reporting should be mandatory when my gets over. i don't see any advantage from that stuff done. so for the time the inside the, when you had pulled up quite a bit from the german alpine club, would welcome such a means for he is. he's been fighting against bed bugs in the countries mountain noches. he would like to see greater transparency and more information in connection with the issue, including in the hospitality industry. and that's, that's a good one. to know 1st that would give us more precise figures on just how frequent infestation is, are going to get in 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 6 bigger range. color 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 call a doctor off to a strong reaction to the pines. as this one challenge the bite marks had a discharge and then swelled up from the scrubbing by head sleepless night because i just couldn't lie still as a. i wouldn't wish it on any one's them. even though once we realize it was bed bugs, we instituted a plan of action. so we backed everything and put it in the 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

deck e consultants, biologist let found upon c completed heads of total pieces on the bed bugs and now runs our own research, the power tree. i thought you brief that but as far as among other things, but not too many these days, we now get most of ours from brittany fund a palm spent 10 years at the environmental agency working on pest control methods. in 2020, she says, offer and contract research company together with her colleague on let me see if we tested the effectiveness of insecticides for certification or the development of new products. john 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 done. but tell me, and i'll note them down this product as working as intended, ala mentioned on males and females, all dead, all dead in the 2nd, replicate to cut 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 as us to take, we're seeing this with most to berman a nuisance pass because they're being fought with. infect decides that have similar active ingredients. we now have hardly any effective n type bed bug agents on the market. in fact, just to get to know the website by female bed fox, la holly, reproductive, and that's what makes an infestation so dangerous. it makes taking immediate action all the more important from the sake of a up to 250 eggs over their lifetime on top of 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 naina in person found upon those guessing 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 set on

humans, like in real life all over in chip. so richard name is infect, fed with his own blogs, are essentially the gold standard and the pest control industry. and what's more, his bet calculations hailed from a range of different decades. the level of different populations, a bed bugs, some of them and being in culture for a very long time. this one, this one hey, was collected 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 bed bugs are very persistent to insecticide and said we want to know we want, we want realistic model backbone. 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 a voice, 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 to time when humans are wiping out species 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 respect for them or something. yeah. and, and in order of an insight to the, to make, to come back like that. back in the very a pest control of this stuff also is paying a follow up visit to the youth hostel. his heat treatment system has been up and running for over 24 hours in the room. infested with bed box 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 you. it's the,

it's the me in here. i thought it be dryer. gabby, i meant cents for the sea and the coolest. we now have condensation from the water at the coolest expulsion. think of the yeah, well now circulate rather quickly at home, but the room will remain warm for a few morales. and so sounds good investigated. seeing the dead insects. and that's one time 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 from down animals, you see everything from 5 star hotels to vacation upon utah steals and people's private homes. and with how things have developed over the last 2 years, i can see it becoming an even more serious problem come young. the that the big business for pest control is bad news for travelers.

the so you don't think you the same way you expect and more different things from life than your parents. i just want to pursue was that's my so on fired or you think your kid is 2 different, risky, irresponsible, reasonable port in those non i want my son to become a doctor to in the clubs. it's time to, to a guess on your generation with a fleet ask and then when generation slash watch now on youtube b,

w, w mentioned this kind of fun. it feels like therapy. the never again, remembering the atrocities of the nazi costs does up the cool of germany's identity box, best growing resistance to this principle. the glass and the next step is denying are really devising the holocaust. yet the can i can see is we will be intimidated as well. some a of the politicians play down not see crimes for rice incidence of becoming increasingly common.
