Bed bug infestations are on the rise in North Carolina. If your business hasn't seen bed bugs yet, consider yourself lucky. Odds are, your business is likely to have a bed bug infestation in the next few years. The question is, are you and your staff properly trained and ready to manage these insects at your property? If not, you’ll want to attend an intensive half-day educational seminar sponsored by Triangle Pest Control LLC. The seminar will focus on how to identify infestations early and how to minimize bed bug infestations in multi-family housing, hotels and motels, extended care facilities, single-family homes and other residential and commercial establishments.
You’ve read the headlines. Bed bugs represent one of the most pervasive problems facing multi-unit properties in North Carolina. These insects are extremely difficult to eradicate and are becoming resistant to most pesticides. If bed bug infestations are handled improperly, it can result in costly litigation, damage to your reputation and lost business.
Topics to be covered:
Bed bugs the next global pandemic (Dr. Mike Waldovogal, NCSU)
Basic Bed Bug Biology (Dr. Kim Jung, PHPM-DEH)
How to Inspect for Bed Bugs (Jeremiah Smith, Canine Handler, Triangle Pest Control)
