9:30 am
so in the clouds it, it's time to and then when generation nash, which now dw documentary, the it's hard to believe just how much the cost of what your 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 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 hide? where did they move? where the eggs? it's one of the toughest job's in pest control, and that this really makes and the savings for california. the
9:31 am
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 fire bed bugs and making a real come back all the same with thought to a pain or advocate that they've made a mistake for a ton heat. retracing is resolved, must see from form us and service surgeons is happening, not just an oven environments, but increasingly, and i did, i grew regions like 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 the little lads to white people,
9:32 am
so afraid of them. they think they drink town blood like vampires. it's just often i'm foss, guys, 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 to attack 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 pull hygiene. 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
9:33 am
. 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 the 5th on time. 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 got 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. i decided to send and there was a whole lot so they were to hungry to that high down. so tend to wait the next victim to it. since he is on life and quietly 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 fading. so i'm yonder is, hasn't come in. now i thought starving them would be an option soon that we just
9:34 am
wouldn't use the room for 2 months of michigan. oh yeah. as of stopping them like work, unfortunately, i'm 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 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
9:35 am
with up to $50000.00 specimens from a variety of strings. neela has a very special relationship to his bed box. this almost daily ritual certainly wouldn't be to everyone's taste. the research of volunteers himself as host the so methods respond to a coming up side 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 and start running around. so it's, it's just cutting the benefits of time to feed upon me of the legs, allow the bugs to do just that to i use my own blood because because it works the best i've tried. i've tried to grab it blood sticking blood cheap,
9:36 am
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 football he painstakingly and shows the wellbeing of his bed bugs. what's about his own health? i can feel 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. 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.
9:37 am
i noticed when i really feel 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 fed insects and houses i'm doing not too bad. it can save skins of it, right? yeah it's, it's a little bit red, it's not too swollen and it'll go away in an hour or so, but it doesn't feel anything at all. it isn't. it's not 80 or anything like that. so it's a bit warm perhaps. yeah. i read it's bit more than which it does, but not to you, but so i fits a couple of points today so you can just see the my own submitted to which is i
9:38 am
need i any feedback books as the last result time, the kind of back up in 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, 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 them sealed tight prior to packaging. i'm sending this order will be used to train k 9. that's the complex tech from top teams will hire these around the bedroom, maybe in a hotel or in a hostile or something like that and use that to use that to train the dog to search for bed books and then the for that service to hotels, hospitals shelters,
9:39 am
housing, all of the places that really struggle with that books. yeah. hospitals, all 5 star hotels, that books fuzzy about the logins. but these pests are particularly hard to control up in the mountains, which is why sniffle, dogs of important stuff on the housing is a sniffle. dog hemlock, he's trained derrickson robot to track down bed bugs. today he's come to meet about cali, bitch. and me check if i come from the german l time slot that headed up to the neighborhood and to inspect a mountain lodge where there was an incident of bet books last care. the color bitch is in charge of noches and hiking trails at the alpine club. a bid on some big light noise bed bugs have been with us throughout human history and have become a growing problem recently. and i meant to ask for you,
9:40 am
i have it for years now. we've had lodge manager is asking us to help the amount of desperation and 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 somebody's and no checked regularly by detection thoughts. sharpie, i did put an end to this is the lodge that was completely enveloped in a time 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 supposed almost a huge amount of money to those horrible when clo, received elaborate solutions like that on. now with thing of the past these days, the focus is on prevention and early detection, which was why should have fun,
9:41 am
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 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 deep advance 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 rid the use coastal of it's on the welcome visitors.
9:42 am
hey, this is can find that every one of the most important parts of this that and will treatment is getting the room hermetically sealed. thompson and you have to be really vigilant because bed bugs are so clever. it's like a hunt. austin has some of this in the he's on the act. this stuff also will use is dalia to mesa's us a natural treatment made from the sharp edge for so long as remains of micro allergy. i am the son of the tiers of their bodies and tries the mouse and the talk and the other is. but the most important tool here is this whole device bed bugs cannot so follow even temperatures about 45 degrees celsius. michelle's flight sounds machine on, and then it's going to get toasty. and then some other things it's, um,
9:43 am
it's males don't think that he's out the room to the 55 degree target. the temperature will run to 24 hours the on the, on the veins $3.00 to $5.00 centimeters into the rule of and you have the faithful temperature of over $45.00 degrees. totally september, 1200 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. the for 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, but it's just a forward us with invisible guns in bed. bugs leave behind tiny dark stains spot those on your bed sheets and it's best to take a closer look the
9:44 am
back to the town of chips sto in person and insect reset your richard name the he also 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,
9:45 am
antics hailing seer to the bed. folks seize the opportunity to feel as expected. they bite his exposed skin once above the covers. the wheels, the little blood suck, has been full for the sermon. trump, the time lapse from the infrared camera shows what happened through the night. at least the books do not appear to have disturbed his sleep. and the next morning when i started sleeping in the, in the beds, i was just like everybody else and no more responsive. you know, every it to something like to me and i couldn't like, couldn't rest. and now that's completely gone. it doesn't bother me until now. yeah, not enough about nila is testing the appeal of an attractive cocktail with a view to developing a bed bug detect device. okay, i can see i hope i can do
9:46 am
a whole bunch of bugs in that alarm. i'll type 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 systems all across europe, this growing demand for new methods of a 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
9:47 am
households had been bug infestation from 2017 to 2020, to the agency estimates the economic fold 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 olympic games. the issue of bed bugs was even addressed in parliament, while many hotels struggled to confront the issue. one hotel and most of the stuff of, 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. swiss hotel, you max, mike has made the project
9:48 am
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, 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 had became one of the systems 1st uses the soviet calling here. this room has already been made today, your mazda parts. this isn't the 1st time he showed no specifics on the piece where the, this is where the system has been installed. the system seems that a discrete little box under the mattress. so i t a lift, you know,
9:49 am
the bed bugs are lowered into the box in a 200 mall. so, but once they're inside the device takes a photo, new email, then sends it to the hotel manager and maintenance. i thought, well, you should know along with the room number look 10 sheila maintenance manager. ok. 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 paid off in switzerland. jericho,
9:50 am
far as he used to have compiled records of bed bookcases for some 30 years and the fee goes to just an upward trend will be used for the dip during the coded $19.00 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 pilot a 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
9:51 am
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. and 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 amounted to a number in the highest 6 bigger range colleague, 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 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
9:52 am
i wouldn't wish it on any one's. well, 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 bro schifflit visitors among deck e consultants. biologists let fund that she completed had a total visas on the bed bugs and now runs her own research the borrower tree. i thought you brief that but as far as 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
9:53 am
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. such old frequently involves working with toxic substances. in this case, applying a contact insecticide to see how effective inches such tests are required by law for the approval of insecticides. tell me and i'll note them down this product as working as intended, ala mentioned by males and females, all dead, all dead in the 2nd, replicate to cut 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 as us to take, we're seeing this with most to berman
9:54 am
a nuisance puzzle because they're being fault with infect decides that have similar active ingredients. we now have hardly any effective anti bed bug 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 sake of a up to 250 eggs 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 nailer in person. found
9:55 am
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 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. and the pest control industry and once more, his bet calculations hailed from a range of different decades. the level is different populations of bed bugs, some of them being in culture for
9:56 am
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, a 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 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 the 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,
9:57 am
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 falling since it goes to the it will now circulate rather quickly at home, but the room will remain warm for a few. morales shown. so sounds good investigated. seeing the dead insects and that's one. and we'd be sure the temperature was high enough everywhere. front, back frontier i said, yes, it was over 45 degrees. every with the many hours that we live with from premier
9:58 am
mission accomplished the us to 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. the . the 2nd major difference, visionaries with a project get involved to create
10:00 am
the, you're watching the, the, you know, it was coming to life and burly us the democratic nominee. cala harris has her running mates. tim walls will become vice president of the united states if harris wins the white house in november. so what are democrats hoping the minnesota governor can bring to the tickets? also ahead on the program, i'm asked names as new political chief young, i'll send wars accused of planning. the october 7th terror attacks is route has a balance to kill him. and a nobel prize winning economist has been appointed to lead bangladesh as interim government. the choice of a mohammed unit school fills
