7:30 pm
with what seemed closely for him to bring you the story behind the news. we wrote about unbiased information for 3 months. the, it's hard to believe just how much the cost of what to 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 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
7:31 pm
cruise 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. so what to athene are advocated that they've made a mistake for a ton hearing. reason is resolved, must be from 4 months ago and the resurgence is happening not just an oven environments, but increasingly, and i did. it grew regions like here in southern germany. but once they've done so just mean they come out with millington,
7:32 pm
the dogs suspect you can't find with hiding place and save the little lads to white people is so afraid of them. they think they drink town blood like van pies. it's just often i'm foss, guys, like, like i said, today the pest control is off to a youth hostel and i'll put this area. pest control is ultimate alls to enter discreetly through the back entrance, but close to manage them. a cool 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 touched it, nothing, 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 summer cut to assess students and then there's no food for goals to foster the response to an infestation the best uh,
7:33 pm
tracking down these most of stuff tends to be exceedingly difficult. in this case, some tell tale signs did turn up. yeah, the key is one that was crushed by some poor 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 trauma 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, you're thinking eileen, take on that, but they can squeeze in. i decided to send the labor to hungry to that high down. so it's tend to wait the next victim to it's ends, ends on life. and finally, office needs to awful lot. how long can they survive without the host? yeah, they're good. so there are studies that say they can leave up to a year without fading. so i'm yonder is how come in now i thought starving,
7:34 pm
the movie an option. so in that we just wouldn't use the room for 2 months of michigan now as of stopping them like work unfortunately and leaving like oh, although the infestation is still my cost list once the room given a thorough treatment in order to prevent the problem from spreading. 2 back in the 20th century, these bugs, the sides of the apple seeds were almost wiped out in many parts of the world through the use of d, d, t, and other know band and sec decides the pests developed a resistance to subsequent products. so now the bloodsucking insects all back it's not just from germany. brisson is also facing a new bed bug plague. and here to the problem is not just found in big cities, entomologist richard neela lives in trip stolen the welsh english border. he spent
7:35 pm
the last 20 years studying pet bucks. his research lab includes an incubator with up to $50000.00 specimens from a variety of strings. neela has a very special relationship to his bed box. this almost daily ritual certainly wouldn't be to everyone's taste. the research of volunteers himself as host the 2 bedroom system to cover the upside from my press. and so if i don't tell them it's feeding time breeze heavily into the pulse 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 cutting the bad thoughts at the time to feed upon me of the legs, allow the bugs to do just that to i use my in black because it,
7:36 pm
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 or not, the visual membrane system, you have to treat the blood with some kind of anti coagulant and stuff that clutching. and that just doesn't seem to be very good for bed bugs, and so so fresh blood is just the best is the best in terms of the numbers of the x they produce and, and then their overall health here, the law, he painstakingly and shows the wellbeing of his bed bugs, what's about his own health? i can see in a slight tingling sensation account for an individual bikes, but i can kind of feel that maybe slightly cheap. but i've, yeah, i've been doing it long enough to. i didn't scratch anymore. bed bugs do not at least transmit diseases. 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.
7:37 pm
i noticed when i really feel lots when we get big oh, just for thousands and thousands, i noticed that it was becoming an event that has a test for that. and so, so when it's like that, it takes time supplements to stop myself, becoming an event. the recent sergeant bed bug numbers means that businesses booming for his lap in the adjacent building, alexia neva is busy getting an order ready as her husband arrives, with a freshly fed indicates houses i'm doing not too bad. it can save skins of it, right? yeah it's, it's a little bit red is not too slow and then it will go away in an hour or so, but it doesn't feel anything at all. it isn't. it's not 80 or anything like that. so it's a bit warm perhaps. yeah. i read it's bit more than which it does,
7:38 pm
but not to you, but 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 a, for 200 bed bugs, 2 slots in new york or something and there's no email or explanation for why they would need that. and so with these ones we, we refund them and we, we try to avoid those people who have bugs in various stages of life. so transferred to these new vials which on them sealed tight prior to packaging. i'm sending this order will be used to train k 9. that's the complex detection teams will hire these around the bedroom, maybe in a hotel or not, and hostile or something like that and use that to use that to train,
7:39 pm
to talk to 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 box 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 roma to track down bed bugs. today he's come to meet about colored beach and me check if i come from the german l pine club. the headed up to naval home to inspect a mountain lodge, where there was an incident of bed bugs lost here. the color bitch is in charge of nudges and hiking trails at the alpine club. a bit funds you think like no,
7:40 pm
so bed bugs have been with us throughout human history and have become a growing problem recently. so so for you either for years now we've had lodge manager is asking us to help them out of desperation. so 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. the 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 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 when clo, received elaborate solutions like that. and now we're seeing of the post these days
7:41 pm
. the focus is on prevention and early detection, which is why should have fun, very housing and his trusty dogs come in upshaw. i liked some of the all the rooms are open so you can get started. let me know if you need anything done. fax, dish island 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, it's 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 further east in germany, and on the ground coast of also needs how you voltage electricity. he plans to use
7:42 pm
thermal technology to rid the youth, coastal of it's on the welcome visitors and assist can find that every one of the most important parts of the federal treatment is getting the room hermetically sealed. you bet thompson and you have to be really vigilant. because bed bugs are so clever, it's like a hunch customer has some of this in the, he's on the act. this stuff also we use is dalia to make us 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 survive in temperatures about 45 degrees celsius. may cells light sounds machine on,
7:43 pm
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 so 24 hours. the on the, on the veins, $3.00 to $5.00 centimeters into the room. and you have the faithful temperature of over 45 degrees. totally september, the $1200.00 of them off. it's a gun device. postal, 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 define, that's 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 wouldn't be so redundant. bed bugs leave behind tiny dark stains spot those on your bed sheets and it's best to take
7:44 pm
a closer look the back to the town of chips sto in person, 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 track, the as soon as
7:45 pm
the voluntary host is asleep, antics hailing seer to the bed folk seized the opportunity to feed as expected. they bite his exposed skin waltz above the covers. the wheels a little blood suck has been full for the sarah moon trump. the, a 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, 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 attract and
7:46 pm
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 promising results. neela is not the only one researching firm and 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
7:47 pm
a study for the french agency for food, environmental and occupational health and safety found. and 11 percent of french households had been bugging for stations from 2017 to 2022. the agency estimates the economic full out for firms to amount to $300000000.00 euros per year. reports of the situation being especially bad in paris with hall to confirm given the alleged involvement of most go controlled social media accounts. still, there was good reason to pay close attention to the french capital as host of the 2020, full summer and then pick games. the issue of bed bugs was even addressed empowerment . while many hotels struggle to confirm the issues one hotel in low, lizzie, some of us powers is taking an open approach rather than ignoring the problem, the hotel, pre em visitors concerns by using and advertising an early warning system.
7:48 pm
suites hotel, you max. mike has made the project a top priority for him. it's clear that france has $80000000.00 taurus per years. they are the ones bringing the bed bug is going to be bouncing. are eager to spare his pain guesses in a moment of surprise. he decided to go on the offensive as a friend told him about to start up in cambridge, england that developed an advanced monitoring system. after learning more. mike, how became one of the systems 1st uses the soviet calling here. this room has already been made today. good 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 it just screen
7:49 pm
little books under the mattress. so a tv lift, you know, the bed bugs are lowered into the box in a 200 mall city. but once they're inside the gulf from the device takes a photo, new e mail and sends it to the hotel manager and maintenance. and i thought where you should know, along with the room number, look, tension maintenance, manual. but 1st, that's information to send to the systems creators in cambridge for evaluation. the team apps also keeps track of thousands of hotel rooms across europe in order to ensure early detection of any bed bug infestation show. by contrast, the company says it's accuracy rate is over 90 percent. a few months ago, the system registered a bed bug and they bring much small code to take immediate action for him. the additional costs, $0.14
7:50 pm
a nights and room have set the paid all in switzerland. it's very cold. far as he used to have compiled records of bed book cases for some 30 years, and the figure suggests an upward trend 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 and do not have to be reported. opinion is divided over whether that's good or not. and then a deficiency. i don't think reporting should be mandatory when my gets over. i don't see any advantage from that stuff done. so for a pilot inside the whole that carpet from the german alpine club would welcome such
7:51 pm
a means for he is. he's been fighting against bed bugs in the countries mountain noches. he would like to see greater transparency and more information in connection with the issue, including in the hospitality industry. and that's, that's a good one. to know 1st that would give us more precise figures on just how frequent infestation is, are going to get in 2nd. it would force people to exchange information beautifully that might make it easier to keep bed bugs under control inside. the l. pine club is under pressure. to date, the economic losses of infestation has amount to to a number in the highest 6 bigger range color which has had a lot of convincing to do even within the association of 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 to discharge and then swelled up from the scrubbing by head
7:52 pm
sleepless night because i just couldn't lie still as if i wouldn't wish it on any one's the once we realize it was bed bugs, we instituted a plan of action, so we backed everything and put it in the freezer and vacuum 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 with visitors among the key consultants. biologists let hyundai, she completed her the total pieces on the bed bugs and now runs her room research the bar 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.
7:53 pm
hyundai palm spent 10 use up 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. joan 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
7:54 pm
about the future. or how does this to take? we're seeing this with most of our him in a nuisance puzzle. 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 know, it was like fly female bed fox, la holly, reproductive. and that's what makes an infestation so dangerous. it makes taking immediate action all the more important from the 2nd 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.
7:55 pm
the lab has received its latest order of bed bugs from richard nina in person fund of honda is guessing more and more as the insects volume post. she's scaled back her own breeding program, which involves feeding the bed bugs with pigs blood volume 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 fed on humans, like in real life all over in chip. so richard name is infects, fed with his own blogs, are essentially the gold standard in the pest control industry. and once more, his bed populations hailed from a range of different decades. we
7:56 pm
have lots of different populations of bed bugs. some of them are being in culture for a very long time. this one is my favorite cliques in london, but it was something like 4045 years ago. and the same for this one from germany. and then we've got populations the more recently collected. and we do that because more than bed bugs, a very persistent to insecticide. and so we want to know we want, we want realistic model, but so i'm a testing products and say we have yeah. as many populations as we can get overland friends and pest control, listen to me samples when a voice, whenever i get the chance, neela now has customers all over the world. over the years he's become more and more reflective on his area of expertise. the longer i've worked on them, the more interested up become i think it's amazing that an insect can make to come back at a time when humans are wiping out specie spots to the never before. and they and they can do. and i'll bet it's, you know, it's like a, it's like a, yeah,
7:57 pm
i have as respect for them or something. yeah. and, and in order of an insight to that, to make, to come back like that, back into the area pest control of kristof auto is paying a follow up visit to the youth hospital. his heat treatment system has been up and running for over 24 hours 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 it sense for the sea and the coolest. we now have condensation from the water at the coolest expulsion. the yeah. will now circulate rather quickly at home, but the room will remain warm for a few morales. and so sounds investigated. seeing the dead insects and that one's a ham. we'd be sure the temperature was high enough everywhere from the printer. i
7:58 pm
said, yes, it was over 45 degrees, every with the many hours that we live with on premier mission accomplished the the us to just from down animals, you see everything from 5 star hotels to vacation upon it is you false deals in people's private homes and with how things have developed over the last 2 years, because i can see it becoming an even more serious problem come young, that the big business full pest control is bad news for travelers. the check engine light is the best. i never would have thought this day would count.
7:59 pm
that's fine. so convinced i'm of the right of interest in victim decided she wants to live. that's part of sophie's daily routine. she's open about her mental illnesses sharing with others, how they impact for life. and in doing so, she gets one thing about me choosing betsy minutes on d. w, or mushrooms healthy or d during the agencies. good to meet you seriously ill and provide healing treatment. the wild mushrooms funky or magic mushroom mexico foraging in good shape. in 60 minutes on d w the
