such the cost of over here to where we all today to make sure that those who instigated it also resulted in the, in the debt. so we're kind of, if you understand something or how that helps all isn't. well, we're basically the thank you so much for guiding us through that to follow all of us from the asia society. publish institute, your my name is the calls back. say thank you so much for joining in. welcome to don't hold bad. a lot of people do that. it's all about saying it aloud. next, would it be nosy bay? like good, everyone to king. check out the award winning called call. don't hold back.

it's hard to believe just how much the stuff will to needs to hunt down a tiny pest event on. some of that kind of phone is loretta casing 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 this way. would you hi love. where did they move? where the eggs? yeah, it's one of the toughest jobs in pest control them. it. this really likes the industry, things become fun. yeah. the cruise stuff also is job often requires some fairly large pieces of equipment. when a cool 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 the yeah,

the websites and the files because bed bugs are making a real come back all the things we thought to attain eradicated, but they've made a massive return here in the recent years. must be from form us go and say iris surgeons, it's happening not just an oven environments, but increasingly, and i did, i grew regions mike here in southern germany, but once they've done so just mean they come out with millington, the dog that he can't find with their hiding place, the little lads to white people is so afraid of them. anything they drink found blood like van pies. it's just a wilson. i'm foss, guys, like it's like i said, today the pest control is off to a youth hostel and i'll put the very, a pest control is ultimate us to enter discreetly through the back entrance, but close to manage them. a close close 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. i mean, we'd not touch dana thing last name. perfect, great. everything can stand, sees, i'm yeah, my vitals with we had 2 people with bites that seem 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 be key to narrow something similar 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 a self tends to be exceedingly difficult. in this case, some tell tale signs did turn up. yes, i know she 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 bed on time. so the suspicions of the hostile manager all confirmed the pest control of try 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 couldn't be a tiny cranny. one you conduct been fit. you're thinking eileen, click on the button. they can squeeze in, decides 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, off 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 hasn't come in. now i thought starving then 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, 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 know band insecticides the pests developed a resistance to subsequent products. so now the bloodsucking insects are 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 the speed of ask them to come very active and start running around. so it's, it's just having a better time to be upon me of the 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 rabbit blood's chicken 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 low, 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 i've yeah, i've been doing it long enough to i didn't scratch anymore. bed bugs do not at least transmit diseases. naylor 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 feel lost 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 i take 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 doesn't it to you or anything like that. so to me it won't perhaps. yeah. i read it's bit more than which it does, but not too bad. so i fetch a couple of problems today so you can just see my own summative 2 inches. i need i need feedback books as last result time. the kind of back up in the the couple of castle to check that potential values are trustworthy of the rules. some could have dubious intentions. sometimes we ask for, for 200 bucks to select in new york or something and,

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 on then sealed types prior to packaging. i'm sending this order will be used to train k 9. that's the context protection teams will hire these around the bedroom, maybe in a hotel or not, and hostile or something like that and use that to use that to train the adult, to search for bed books. and then they look for that service to hotels, hospitals, and shelters, housing, all the places that really struggle with bedbugs. yeah. the hospitals, all 5 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 broughton stuff. i'm the housing is a sniffle. dog hemlock. he's trained derrickson robot to track down bed fox.

today he's come to meet all about colored beach and me check if i cobble from the german l pine in the club. that headed up to naval home to inspect a mountain lodge where there was an incident of bed bugs last care. the color bitch is in charge of nudges 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. some give us 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 slaves and no checked regularly by detection dogs. sharpie, i did put an end to this is

a large that was completely enveloped in a target 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. this book's done was a huge amount of money to take those horrible. clo, received elaborate solutions like that on. now with thing of the post these days, the focus is on prevention and early detection. which is why should defend very housing and his trusty dogs come in charlotte, so most all the rooms are open so you can get started. let me know if you need anything done. fax. dish. iceland 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 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 on the bed once 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 helps 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. 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 may. shes us

a natural treatment made from the shop, edged fossilized remains of micro algae or the sound of the hands of the bodies and tries the mouse. and others, but the most important tool here is this whole add device. bed bugs cannot so follow even temperature is above 45 degrees celsius, the lifestyle slide sounds machine on. and then it's going to get toasty. and then some other things it's on. it's males don't think that he's out the room to the $55.00 degree target, the temperature, and we'll run to 24 hours. the, on the, on the vin 3 to find centimeters into the rule of. and you have the faithful temperature of over 45 degrees. total of 1200 rough off. it's a postal manager. michael slope 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 was a new or if it getting worse than the building. so i'm happy that we opted for this course of action benefit 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. 2 back to the town of chips sto in person, an instict researcher richard name the he 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 the as soon as the voluntary host is asleep, antics hailing seer to the bed. folks seized the opportunity to feed as expected. they bite his exposed skin waltz above the covers. the wheels, the little blood suck, has been full for the sermon. 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 attract and 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. i'm on top of 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 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. 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 bout 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 confirm the issues, one hotel in mo, lizzie, stopped as of paris is taking an open approach. rather than ignoring the problem, the hotel, pre em visitors concerns by using and advertising an early warning system. switch 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 bugs, the buying. the bonds 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 uses the soviet calling him this room has already been made today, get mazda parts. this isn't the 1st time he showed no specifics on the piece where the or this is where the system has been installed the system, the scenes of a discrete little box under the mattress. so i to the, to the bed bugs are lowered into the box in a 200 mall. so 80, but once they're inside the device takes a photo, new email and then sends it to the hotel manager and maintenance. and i thought, well, you should know, along with the room number look, tension maintenance manager looked at. 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 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 all in switzerland. it's very cold sores, east have compiled records of been the cases for some 30 years, and the fitness suggests an upward trend opiates, 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. this falls 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, 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 that's, that's what can be done to know it. first, it would give us more precise figures on just how frequent investigations are going to get in 2nd, it would force people to exchange information to be different 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 color, which has had a lot of convincing to do, even within the association or the most policies now agree. his boss had a personal experience with bed bugs just last year. he had to cool down 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. i had sleepless nights because i just couldn't lie still as if i wouldn't wish it on any one's. once we realize it was bed bugs, we instituted a plan of action, so we backed everything and put it into freezer and vacuum 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 together with the german environment agency in 2019.

the alpine club published an informational process. what visitors among the key consultants, biologist alleged from that she completed her the total pieces on the bed bugs. and now runs her room reception of laura tree. i've taught 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 says, offer and 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. 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, males and females all dead, all dead in the 2nd, replicate to cut off on the top. but resistance is becoming increasingly common with the insects no longer reacting to the talk since the biologist is concerned about the future. or how does it taste? we're seeing this with most of our i'm in a nuisance past 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 try 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 2nd a,

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 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 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 volume 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 small his bed populations hailed from a range of different decades. the level of different populations, a bed bugs, some of the moving 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 reason they collected, i'm, i'm, we 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. wonderfully. 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 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 a respect for them or something. yeah. and, and in order of an insight to the, to make, to come back like that. back into the area pest control of this stuff. auto is paying a follow up visit to the youth hostel. 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 you. it's the, it's the me in here. i thought it be dryer. chevy, i'm it sense for the sea and the coolest. we now have condensation from the water at the coolest balance of the it will now circulate rather quickly at home, but the room will remain warm for a few morales. and so i'm going to be speeded seeing the dead insects. and that's one time we'd be sure the temperature was high enough everywhere from that printer . i said, yes, it was over 45 degrees. every, with the many hours that we live with us have just from premier mission accomplished the. so just from down animals, you see everything from 5 star hotels to vacation upon it is useless. 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 the end of it,

the big business for pest control is bad news for travelers. the welcome to put tire time. that's kind 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 twice or 3 times as much and the other half the service in 2023, a documentary, uncovered corruption and 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 turn the stuff over 16 the never again. remembering the atrocities of the nazi cost is at the cool of germany's identity. but there's growing resistance to this principle. the glass on the, the next step is denying are relative izing the holocaust. yet 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.
