12:30 pm
demands, and you'll see the world as he's never seen it before. the drive, no dw dokey, it's hard to believe just how much the stuff well to needs to hunt down a tiny pest event on some of 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. and you have to think like a bed bug this way. would you hi love? where did they move? where the eggs? it's one of the toughest jobs in pest control them. it's a street lakes and the shavings to california. the
12:31 pm
the stuff also job often requires some fairly large pieces of equipment. when a call 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 because bed bugs are making a real come back to think with what to athene or advocate that they've made a method for a ton he read. the reason is mossey from inform us go and say a research and this is happening not just an oven environments, but increasingly, and i did, it grew regions like here in southern germany. but once they dug so just mean they come out at millington. the dogs that keep con,
12:32 pm
find where they're hiding fees. the little lads to white people is so afraid of them. they think they drink town blood like vampires. it's just often i'm foss, guys. like, like i said, today the pest control is off to a youth hostel. and i'll put the very, a pest control is all some off 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 . we'd not touch that, nothing, nothing perfect, great. everything can stay as ease. 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 our listening to my students and then there's no food for goals to foster the response to an infestation the best uh,
12:33 pm
tracking down these most as of sales tends to be exceedingly difficult in this a 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 try is 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 fingers, eileen table, 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 its ends, 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
12:34 pm
starving them would be an option soon. that we just wouldn't use the room for 2 months of michigan now. eh, as of stopping them like work, unfortunately, i'm leaving light. oh. although the infestation is still my cost list once the room given a thorough treatment in order to prevent the problem from spreading. 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 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, entomologist richard nieland's lives and trip stolen the welsh english border. he
12:35 pm
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 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 it's, it's just having a better time to be permeable lives allow the bugs to do just that, which i use my name black because it's because it works the best i've tried. i've
12:36 pm
tried to grab it blood sticking blood sheet, but pick 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 vall, 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.
12:37 pm
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 light 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 the freshly fed insights . um, how is this 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 sound right to you or anything like that. so it's a bit warm perhaps. yeah. i read it's bit more than which it does,
12:38 pm
but not too bad. so i fetch a couple of pumps today, so you can just see the my own submitted to which is all you need. i any feedback books as the last result time, 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 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, 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 contents protection 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
12:39 pm
search for bed books in the middle for that service to hotels, hospitals, shelters, housing, all the places that really struggle with bedbugs? yeah. hospitals. 05 star hotels. that books um, fussy about the lodgings. but these pests are particularly hard to control up in the mountains. which is why sniffle dogs often brought to steph, i'm very housing is a sniffle. dog hemlock, he's trained derrickson robot to track down bed bugs. today he's come to me to about college. and me check if i come from the german l time club. the headed up to the neighborhood 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 bit funds. you think like most bed
12:40 pm
bugs have been with us throughout human history and have become a growing problem recently. so for you either 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. sharpie, i did put an end to this is the lodge 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. and now the thing of the post these days,
12:41 pm
the focus is on prevention and early detection. which is why should defend very housing and his trusty dog's comment. upshaw alex, almost all the rooms are open so you can get started. let me know if you need anything done. fax dish. iceland 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 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 is getting worse on the bed, the fonts and the bugs don't come from the launches on. they're 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 side of the eastern germany and on the ground coast of also needs how you voltage electricity. he plans to use thermal technology
12:42 pm
to rid the youth. coastal of it's on the welcome visitors and this is can find that every one of the most important parts of the federal treatment is getting the room hermetically sealed. thompson. and you have to be really vigilant because bed bugs are so clever. it's like a hunt austin has some of this and he is on the act. this stuff also we use is dalia to may. shes us a natural treatment made from the sharp edge fossilized remains of micro algae or the sound of the hands of the bodies and tries the mouse and the top 10 others. but the most important tool here is this whole add device. bed bugs cannot so fall, even temperature is above $45.00 degrees celsius. may cells light sounds machine on and then it's going to get toasty. and then some
12:43 pm
other things that's on it's males. don't think that he's out the room to the 55 degree target. the temperature, and we'll run so 24 hours. the on the on the vain $3.00 to $5.00 centimeters into the room. and you have the faithful temperature of over 45 degrees. totally up to a 100 of them off. it's a postal manager, michael slopes, is glad he chose the heat treatment option. it might involve the loss of work, an extra cost around a $1000.00 bureaus in this case. but it's considered 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. so i'm happy that we opted for this course of action benefit or for us with invisible diamonds in bed. bugs leave behind tiny dark stains spot those on your bed sheets and it's best to take
12:44 pm
a closer look. 2 back to the town of chips sto in prison, an insect reset should which should 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
12:45 pm
as soon as the voluntary host is asleep, antics hailing c o. 2. the fed folks seized 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 3rd trump. the 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 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 till now. yeah. not enough about neela is testing the appeal of an attract and cocktail with
12:46 pm
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 that's 99 bugs, 9 bugs and one nights, hunting up by the toll promising results. neela is not the only one researching ferryman traps for early warning system as 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 a study for the french agency for food,
12:47 pm
environmental and occupational health and safety found. and 11 percent of french households had been bugging for stations from 2017 to 2020, to the agency estimates the economic full 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 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, some of us paris, is taking an open approach. rather than ignoring the problem, the hotel, pre ems visitors concerns by using and advertising an early warning system.
12:48 pm
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 bugs evening . events 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 so they're coming here. this room has already been made today, get mazda parts. this isn't the 1st time he showed no assessor the is whether or this is where the system has been installed the system, the scenes of
12:49 pm
a discrete little box under the mattress. so ideally, lifting the bed bugs are lowered into the box in a $200.00 mall so 80. but once they're inside the device, takes a photo, new email and sends it to the hotel manager and maintenance. i thought, were you sure new, along with the room number looked in the maintenance man there little bit. but 1st, that's information to send to the systems creators and 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 code to take immediate action for him. the additional costs, $0.14
12:50 pm
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 fitness suggests an upward trend opiates, with a dip during the coated 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, a inside that you need to pull that carpet from the german alpine club would
12:51 pm
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, including in the hospitality industry. and that's, that's a good one. you know, 1st that would give us more precise figures on just how frequent infestation is, are going to get since 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 exp, 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 cool down off to a strong reaction to the binds as his lunch. one of the bite marks had a discharge and then swelled up from the scrubbing i had sleepless night because i
12:52 pm
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 the 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 let 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 so many of these days. we now get most of ours from brittany.
12:53 pm
hyundai palm spent 10 years at the environmental agency working on pest control methods. in 2020, she says off for 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. i mentioned males and females all dead, all dead in the 2nd, replicate to cut on the, toward the resistance is becoming increasingly common with the insects. no longer reacting to the talk since the biologist is concerned about the future. or how does
12:54 pm
it taste? we're seeing this with most of our him in a nuisance puzzle 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 laying eggs once fertilized, they lay again and again, which means that reproduction is a very high rate in life 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
12:55 pm
order of bed bugs from richard nina, in person. fund of hon 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 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 infect, fed with his own blogs, are essentially the gold standard in the pest control industry. and what small his bed populations hailed from a range of different decades. the
12:56 pm
levels of different populations of bed bugs, some of the moving in culture for a very long time. this one is this one who 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 maurice in the collected. i'm gonna do that because martin bed bugs are 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 thing. may tech come back a time when humans are wiping out specie spots to the never before. and they and they can do in all beds. you know, it's like a, it's like a yeah, yeah, i have
12:57 pm
a respect for them or something. yeah. and in, in order of an insect. so that might 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 in the room. infested with bed box behind him in the land. the 3 centimeters into the wall. we've reached a temperature of about $48.00 degrees. it worked great to me. you see me in here. i thought it be dryer, gabby, i'm in the sense for the sea and the coolest. we now have condensation from the water at the coolest falling since because the it will now circulate rather quickly at home, but the room will remain warm for a few morales concerns. the speed is seeing the deadline, things up in the video and we'd be sure the temperature was high enough everywhere
12:58 pm
. front back frontier. i said, yes, it was over 45 degrees. every with the many hours that we live with on premier mission accomplished the distance down animals, you see everything from 5 star hotels to vacation upon it is you fall sales 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 climate change is threatening our food supply. 10 am algorithms safeguard.
