to close off is up next, and zooms in on that bug staging. so that if you can, i'm on you can just begin and i'll be back in about 45 minutes with more news headlines for you of season the we are all set. we are watching close to the, to bring you the story behind the new will on about come by as information for free might say do to. and then it's hard to believe just how much the stuff well to needs to hunt down

a tiny pest event funds from the account. the phone is on the rad encasing bed bugs is the champions league of pest control mit there. among the northeast and most dangerous animals out there thing. and you have to think like a bed bug this way, 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 likes the industry things for california. the crew 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 along the neighbors. yeah, the websites and the files and bed bugs and king of rio come back all the same with

thought to athene or advocated that they've made a method for a ton hearing. the reason is resolved, must be from form, us go and say a research, and this is happening not just an oven environments, but increasingly, and i did, i grew regions bike here in southern germany. but once they've done so, just mean they come out at millington, the dogs that keep con, find with hiding places. the little lads to white people is so afraid of them. they think they drink cal blood like van pies. 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 very, a pest control is all some alls to enter discreetly through the back entrance, but cost to manage a mock. hulk loss has decided to attack the issue openly. and so begins the search for the needle in the haystack. contrary to popular belief bed

box have nothing to do with pull hygiene. we'd not touch dennis thing, nothing. perfect, great. everything can stand sees. i'm yeah, 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 in our residents in summer cut to assess students and then there's no food for goals to foster the response to an infestation the best uh, tracking down these most as of self tends to be exceedingly difficult. in this case, some tell tale signs did turn up. yeah, the key is one that was crushed by some poor hostem. you can tell it's a bed bug from the shape of its body from the bed on time. and 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 combined the events that tricky thing about bed bugs from. they've got thousands of options kind of could be

a tiny cranny. one you conduct been fit. you're thinking eileen, take on that but they can squeeze in. i decided to send and there was a moment's labour to hungry to that high down. so tend to wait the next victim to send the ends on life and quietly office 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 they can come in. now i thought starving them would be an option soon, that we just wouldn't use the room for 2 months of michigan now. as of stopping them like work unfortunately and leaving like oh, although the infestation is still my cost list once the room given a thorough treatment in order to prevent the problem from spreading. 2 back in 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 know band and sec decides 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 entomologist richard nila lives in chip stow on 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 2 bedroom

system to cover the upside from my press. and so if i will just 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, it's, it's, it's just cutting the bad thoughts at the time to feed upon me of the lives and now the bugs to do just that i yes, my name black because it because it works the best i've tried. i've tried to grab it blood sticking blood sheet, but uh, take blood. and whenever you use an artificial 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 the and then the overall health 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 bikes,

but i can 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 read the feed lots, when we get big oldest for 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 takes time supplements to stop myself, becoming an event. the recent sergeant bed bug numbers means that businesses booming for his lap in the adjacent building, alexia neva is busy getting an order ready as her husband arrives with

a freshly fed insects 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 slow and then it will 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's a bit warm perhaps. yeah. i read it's bit more than which it does, but not too bad. so i fits 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 to kind of back up the the couple of castle to check that potential bias are trustworthy of the rules. some could have dubious intentions. sometimes we ask for me for 200 bed bugs, 2 slats 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 try to avoid those people who have bugs in various stages of life. so transferred to these new vials which on then 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 not, and hostile or some, some of that news that's it. uh, use that's trying to talk to search for bed books in the middle for that service to hotels, hospitals, shelton, housing, all the places that really struggle with that. but yeah, the hospitals, all 5 star hotels, bed bugs, fussy about the logins. but these pests are particularly hard to control up in the mountains, which is why smith's adults often broughton stuff on the housing is a sniffle. dog hemlock. he's trained derrickson robot to track down bed fox.

today he's come to meet about chloe bitch and me check if i come from the german l pine club that headed up to a neighborhood to inspect a mountain lodge where there was an incident of bed bugs lost here. the color bitch is in charge of noches and hiking trails at the alpine clump to bid on some big light the ocean 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 and some give us what size of the largest, almost 2000 meters up near the summit at the need of last year's infestation was discovered and dealt with quickly. the thousands of beds and slaves and no checked regularly by detection dogs. sharpie, i did put an end to this as a lodge that was completely enveloped in

a time and then fumigated. because these are, 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. this book's done was a huge amount of money to take those and portable when clo received elaborate solutions like that. and now we're seeing of the post these days. the focus is on prevention and early detection, which is why i should have fun, very housing and his trusty dogs come in upshaw. it's almost all the rooms are open so you can get started. let me know if you need anything done. it's actually silent . do 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. this mission when i, without knowing all the lodges, i'd say that 10 to 15 percent have to deal with bed bug infestation. and if anything is getting worse on the bed once,

and the bugs don't come from the launches on their carried up here from the valley home, get past sniff, adult teams are a blessing for the remote mountain. largest ideal helps us in the fight to control that box. the further eastern germany and on the ground coast of also needs holly voltage, electricity. he plans to use them. oh technology to read the us postal office 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 hunch. as soon as some of this in is on the act, this stuff also we use is dalia to mesa's us. a natural treatment made from the shop, edged fossilized remains of micro algae some details of the

bodies and tries the mouse and 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. may cells light sounds machine on and then it's going to get toasty when they think it's um it's nails done. i think that hangs out the room to the $55.00 to $3.00 targets temperatures and will run so 24 hours. the ones on the veins, 3 to 5 centimeters into the weight of on. do you have the fatal temperature of over 45 degrees? totally up to a 100 of them off. it's a postal manage. a micro 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

a very effective device. i was wondering if there was the risk of it spreading. if it's a people taking them home with a new orbit getting worse than the building. so i'm happy that we opted for this course of action, finish it or for us for the needs to 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. your richard name the the ocean spends the night in his sleep lavario 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 of little blood. so cuz then full for the 3rd. trump. a 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 . nothing about neela 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. and that's not bad. so that's 99 bugs, 9 bugs in 1900 not by the toll of promising results. neela is not the only one researching ferryman traps for early warning system is all across europe,

best 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. an 11 percent of french households had been bugging for stations from 2017 to 2022. the agency estimates the economic full out for firms 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 mo, lizzie stop is as powers as taking an open approach. rather than ignoring the problem, the hotel, pre em visitors concerns by using and advertising an early warning system. swiss hotel, you max, mike has made the project a top priority for him. it's clear that france has $80000000.00 taurus per years. they are the ones bringing the bed bug is going to be bouncing are eager to spare 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,

how became one of the systems 1st users so they've come in here. this room has already been made today, get 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 that it just screen little books under the mattress. a tv lift, you know, the bed bugs are lowered into the box in a 200 mall city, but once they're inside the gulf from the device takes a photo, new email and then sends it to the hotel manager and maintenance. and i thought, were you sure new along with the room number looked and sheila maintenance manager 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 early detection of any bed bug infestation show. by contrast, 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 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 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 inside that when you pull that carpet 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 time club is under pressure. to date, the economic losses of infestation has amount to 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 it dropped off to a strong reaction to the pines. as his lunch one, the bite marks had a discharge and then swelled up from scrubbing 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 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 with visitors. among the

consultants, biologists let hyundai, she completed her the total pieces on the bed bugs and now runs her room research the power tree. i've taught you brief that but as far as among other things, but not so many these days, we now get most of ours from brittany fund a palm spent 10 use of 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 off on the, toward the resistance is becoming increasingly common with the in 6th, no longer reacting to the talk since the biologist is concerned about the future. it was just a taste we're seeing this would most of berman a nuisance peasant because they're being fault with insecticides that have similar active ingredients. we now have hardly any effective end type bedbug agents on the market. in fact, just to get to know it was like fly 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 2nd they up to 250 ags over their lifetime on the young hatch and the females continue laying eggs

once fertilized, they lay 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 all 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 fund of honda is 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 official 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 what small, his med populations hailed from a range of different decades. the level to different populations of bed bugs, some of them are being in culture for a very long time. this one is my favorite cliques 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, and we do that because more than bed bugs, a very persistent to insecticide. and so we want to know we want, we want realistic model, but so i'm a 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 at a time when humans are wiping out specie spots to the never before. and they and they can do. and i'll bet it's, you know, it's like a, it's like a, yeah, i have as respect for them or something. yeah. and, and 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 and the room infested with bed box b, i'm 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 gabby, i'm it since within the cool us we now have condensation from the water at the coolest expulsion. the yeah, will now circulate rather quickly at home, but the room will remain warm for a few. morales concerns, so something 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 on premier mission accomplished us with this function 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. i can see it becoming an even more serious problem come young, that the big business full pest control is bad news for

travelers. the welcome to put tire time, those kinds of sofas. thanks tourism. what do you get here? you can't get anywhere else in the world. in germany, if you go to a prostitute, you pay twice or $3.00 times as much and the other half the service in 2023, a documentary, uncovered corruption on child abuse. the youngest one, for example, let me show you. this was a now the field team investigates the was executive has changed.

the red light, doc shadow, 6 tourism the police robots patrolling your neighborhood equipped with weapons. if that's really what we want in many cities, robots already being useful security measures. and in some cases, that even debates on equipping robots with weapons. but what robots really make all the streets safer, either actually a security threat themselves and who can be held accountable if something goes wrong. the replacing police with robots looks like this. this bang for a button, the us claim to have explosives in his mouth. the robot was used to check whether he was telling the truth another.
