the, the, the, the news on a, put this in the news, your innovation, green, the green revolution global. so listen to whole lot of crime. it's probably up to speed if the carrier is subscribe to the guy every friday. subscribe to plan. it's a the it's hard to believe just how much the 1st of all to needs to hunt down
11:16 pm
a tiny pest event on sunday 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? yeah, it's one of the toughest jobs in pest control them. it this really in the savings to california. the of this stuff also as 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 best time to send the files and bed bugs and making
11:17 pm
a real come back to think we thought to a thing or advocated that they've made a method for a ton he read. the reason is mostly 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 like here in southern germany. but once they dug so just mean they come out at millington. the dogs that keep con, find where they're hiding fees to the little lads to white people is so afraid of them. they think they drink, found 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 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 them, the issue opened and so begins the search for the needle in the haystack. contrary to popular belief bed bugs have nothing to do with pull hygiene
11:18 pm
. we'd not touch dennis thing, nothing. perfect, great. everything can stay nancy's i'm yeah, most vital. 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 and i are listening to my students and then there's no 55 holes. the false to the response to an infestation. the best of tracking down these most as of self tends to be exceedingly difficult in this pay some tell tale signs did not. yes i none of them. 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 bed on time. so the suspicions of the hostile manager all confirmed the pest control of trying 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 got thousands of options kind of could be a tiny cranny. one, you can't even fit your thinking island take home,
11:19 pm
but they can squeeze in this house isn't that isn't how much they rented, hungry to that high down. so tend to wait the next victim to it since the ends on life and probably else 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 as a 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 size 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
11:20 pm
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 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
11:21 pm
them to come and upside from my 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 this is just telling the thoughts at time to feed upon me of the lives allow the bugs to do just that. i use my name black because it's because it works the best i've tried. i've tried to grab it blood sticking blood sheet, but pick blood and whenever you use and 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 the and then the overall health here, the well he painstakingly and shows the wellbeing of his bed bugs. what's about his own health? i can see in
11:22 pm
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 transmitted 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 old as 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's a sign 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 the freshly
11:23 pm
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'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 too bad. so i fetched a couple of pumps today, so you can just see the my own submitted to which is why i need i need 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 the 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,
11:24 pm
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 bugs in the middle for that service to hotels, hospitals, shelters, housing, all the places that really struggle with bedbugs? yeah. hospitals. 05 star hotels. bed bugs um fussy about the logins. but these pests are particularly hard to control up in the mountains. which is why sniffle dogs of bro 10. stiff i'm the housing is a sniffle. dog hemlock, he's trained derrickson robot to track down bed bugs. today
11:25 pm
he's come to meet about cali, bitch. and me check if i come from the german l time slot. 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 a bit on some you think like no 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 slaves and no checked regularly by detection. dogs shop. yeah, i did put an end to this is a large that was completely enveloped in
11:26 pm
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 is both, almost a huge amount of money to take those or low receive, elaborate solutions like that. and now the thing of the post these days, the focus is on prevention and early detection, which was why should defend very housing and his trusty dogs come in. charlotte's, almost all the rooms are open so you can get started. let me know if you need anything done. in fact, special island during 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,
11:27 pm
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 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 hunch, as soon as some of us in the, he's on the act. this stuff us or we use is dalia to may. shes us a natural treatment made from the shop, edged fossilized remains of micro allergy or the sound of the hands of the
11:28 pm
bodies and tries the mouse to talk that way. 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 males done. i think that he's out the room to the $55.00 degree target, the temperature, and we'll run for 24 hours the on find the veins $3.00 to $5.00 centimeters into the rule of and you have the faithful temperature of over 45 degrees. total of $1200.00 rough off insect on device postal manager, michael slopes, is glad he chose the heat treatment option. it might involve the loss of work, an extra cost around a 1000 years in this case. but it's considered
11:29 pm
a very effective define of what the default there was, the risk of it spreading fits of people taking them home was a new orbit getting worse than the building now. so i'm happy that we opted for this course of action finish it or 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. 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,
11:30 pm
even when it results in some discomforts the do. the insects behave as expected. this time. needless testing, a bed bug, trump, or the as soon as the voluntary host is asleep and exhaling seer to the bed, the book seized the opportunity to feed as expected. they bite his exposed skin. once 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
11:31 pm
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 about detective 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. and that's on pad. so this 99 bugs, 9 bugs and one nights, hunting up by the toll. a promising result. amelia is not the only one researching ferryman traps for early warning system as all across europe. this growing demand
11:32 pm
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 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 economics pulled out for from 2 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
11:33 pm
2020, full summer and then pick games. the issue of bed bugs was even addressed in parliament . while many hotels struggled to confirm the issue, one hotel in mo lizzie stop is 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. 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 is going to be bouncing 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 that developed an advanced monitoring system, after learning more, mike,
11:34 pm
how became one of the systems 1st uses the so they're coming here. this room has already been made today, get mazda parts. this isn't the 1st time he showed no assessment. these were the, or this is where the system has been installed the system, the scenes of a discrete little box under the mattress of activity the 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. i thought where 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
11:35 pm
thousands of hotel rooms across europe in order to ensure early detection of any bed bug infestation, commercial contracts that 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. jericho, 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 coast and 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
11:36 pm
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 a pilot, a inside that you need 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 a good one. to know 1st that would give us more precise figures on just how frequent infestation is. are you able to get the sense? second, 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 amounted to a number in the highest exp,
11:37 pm
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 a discharge and then swelled up from the scrubbing by head sleepless night. 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 in 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 together with the german environment agency in 2019. the alpine club published an informational process. what visitors among deck,
11:38 pm
a consultants biologist, electronic she completed had a 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 so 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
11:39 pm
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 top. but resistance is becoming increasingly common with the insects no longer reacting to the talk. since the biologist is concerned about the future. a just a taste we're seeing this with most of our him and a nuisance pass. because they're being fought with insecticides that have similar active ingredients. we now have hardly any effective anti 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
11:40 pm
laying eggs once fertilized daily 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 fund of hon is 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 official membrane industry. customers are willing to pay more for insects that have 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,
11:41 pm
like in real life all over in chip. so richard name is infects, 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 them 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 a 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
11:42 pm
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 into the area, pest control or coast of 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 and you know, it's the,
11:43 pm
it's the me in here. i thought it be dryer. gabby, i made sense for the sea and the coolest. we now have condensation from the water at the coolest bone since it goes to the it will now circulate rather quickly at home, but the room will remain warm for a few morales concerns. so sounds good investigated. 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 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
11:44 pm
the, the untold story for detail at this point to be funded here repos every weekend on d. w. get training for an exciting hobby and tell you a little surprised. hi, i'm sure i'm ready to dive into the hands of children to have you ever wonder would be a excellent invest deposits from quarter key indians to drama. keep close that even
11:45 pm
local press vehicles. we've got a response to this for and unexpected size of 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, the 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 clamp drive explosives in his mouth.
