New Label for Bedbugs Proposed | Canada Bedbugs

Posted on November 27, 2013 by admin Click Here For Article

Bedbugs in Winnipeg are an increasing problem. This is an interesting article byBartley Kives of the Winnipeg Free Press (fun fact my own great grandfather was once the editor of the Winnipeg Free Press) about a proposed change in how bedbugs are defined. It is suggested that bedbugs should be considered a parasitic insect. By defining bedbugs as a public health issue, more funding would be available to combat the problem.

Bedbugs should be considered a public-health threat even though the parasites dont transmit disease, argues a group of national experts that includes Winnipeg entomologist Taz Stuart and University of Manitoba sociologist Prof. Elizabeth Comack.

Canadian cities could wind up with more tools at their disposal to curb the spread of the blood-sucking insects especially among disadvantaged inner-city residents by defining the bedbug problem as a health issue, the Winnipeggers write in an academic paper co-authored with physicians and environmental-health experts from Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal.

Because bedbugs have not been proven to transmit disease between humans, there is resistance to framing their resurgence as a public-health threat, write the seven co-authors of a paper that appeared in the November/December 2012 edition of the Canadian Journal of Public Health.

We make the case that framing the bedbug problem as a public-health threat is key to the implementation of effective strategies to its management especially for vulnerable populations.

As recently as 15 years ago, bedbugs were all but unknown in North America. But an increase in global travel and the phase-out of certain pesticides contributed to a meteoric rise in infestations over the past decade.

Although the small, elusive insects dont spread disease between people, they are associated with negative health effects such as allergic reactions, bacterial skin infections and scarring as a result of the intense scratching they provoke, say the authors of the paper. People exposed to the pesticides used to kill bedbugs are also at greater risk of chronic disease.

More significantly, bedbug infestations are associated with mental-health issues such as depression, loss of appetite, insomnia, social isolation and/or hypervigilance, which together can lead to severe sleep deprivation and ultimately other physiological and neurocognitive health effects, says a separate paper co-authored by Stuart in the January 2013 edition of Environmental Health Review.

While bedbugs can be found anywhere luxury hotels and upscale homes have been treated for the insects people living in multi-family housing with a high rate of turnover are at the greatest risk. Experiences fighting bedbugs in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Winnipeg suggest a co-ordinated approach to inspecting properties, treating infestations and preventing further spread works best under the aegis of public-health authorities, write the authors of the Canadian Journal of Public Health paper.

While redefining the nature of the bedbug threat might sound esoteric, such a move could enable legislation to back up existing efforts to inspect properties, conduct treatments and engage in public-education campaigns. But the move could also place a greater onus on provincial and federal health authorities, all of whom are reluctant to take on more responsibilities.

New Technology Offers Solution to US Bed Bug Epidemic

Travel-Sized Spray Developed to Help Travellers Avoid Contracting Bed Bugs

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Nov 25, 2013 (Menafn - Marketwired via COMTEX) --AgBiotech company Terramera today announced the launch of Proof(TM), a plant-based spray technology that is the first and only product available on the market that kills both bed bugs and their eggs with or without direct contact. Recognizing the market need for a safer and more effective alternative to control the growing bed bug problem, the EPA fast-tracked approval of the new bed bug spray. Pest management professionals have used the commercial version of the product for over a year. Now it's now available for consumers in 49 states across the US. The expedited approval process speaks to both the safety and efficacy of the product to protect the millions of Americans that are susceptible to getting bed bugs.

"Bed bugs are highly transmittable which makes them a major concern, especially with the heavy travel in the holiday season," said Karn Manhas, CEO and founder of Terramera. "Nearly one quarter of domestic travellers have had bed bugs. We're happy to have Proof(TM) in the hands of consumers before the busy travel season to help people avoid bringing bed bugs home for the holidays."

Studies show that 23 per cent of people who have travelled within the U.S. have dealt with bed bugs and 43 per cent of people that have travelled internationally have had bed bugs. According to a 2013 bed bug survey by the National Pest Management Association, 75 per cent of outbreaks in the United States occur in hotels or motels, and 21 per cent occur on airplanes, buses and trains.

"Bed bugs continue to increase their presence across the United States and consumers need a product that is effective. Bed bug eggs are a big part of the problem in the spread of these tiny pests. Their eggs are hardy, glued down where they are laid and travel easily," said Dr. Annett Rozek, Chief Scientific Officer at Terramera. "Until now there has been nothing available that kills bed bug eggs without direct contact. That is why Proof(TM) is such an important product, it will kill eggs and keep working to stop eggs from hatching on treated areas."

Terramera's patent-pending inSpirium technology helps Proof(TM) deliver cold-pressed neem oil more effectively into bed bugs and their eggs. Travellers can now Proof(TM) their bags and belongings to protect themselves from bed bugs at home and on the road. For more information visit: http://www.bugproof.com
