Scientist endures 180,000 bed bug bites

Posted on December 23, 2014 by admin Click Here For Article

VANCOUVER -- A British Columbia biologist has endured 180,000 bites with the intention of sucking the life out of the worldwide bedbug epidemic.

Once thought eradicated in industrial countries, the pests have reappeared over the past two decades, infesting everything from low-income housing to pricey hotels.

A team from Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, B.C., including biologists, a chemist and students, has now identified a set of chemical attractants that lure the bedbugs into traps and keep them there.

But those findings required biologist Regine (reh-GINA') Gries, who is immune to the bites, to act as a host so the pests could feed while scientists gathered skin and feces from the bugs to analyze.

The team is now working with a company based out of Victoria, B.C., to develop the first effective and affordable trap to detect and monitor infestations.

SFU Prof. Gerhard Gries, the husband of Regine, says the trap will help landlords, tenants and pest-control professionals to determine whether a premise has a bedbug problem.

STEPS TO STOP BED BUGS IN MULTI-UNIT HOUSING FACTS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BED BUGS

How do bed bugs spread?The common bed bug (Cimex lectularius) climbs easily up any fabric, wood or paper surface by hooking tarsal claws around the fibers. Bed bugs walk rapidly from one unit to another in multi-unit housing passing under doors and along electrical wires and water pipes. Bed bugs often spread by hitchhiking on all types of household items, such as bedding, furniture, luggage, clothing, animal cages, picture frames and electronic devices. If a crack is big enough for a credit card, a bed bug may be hiding there.

What do bed bugs look like?Adults of the common bed bug are reddish to dark brown in color with flattened bodies. They are about the size of an apple seed, inch long. They cannot fly but they can run very quickly. The white eggs are small enough to be hard to see glued in seams and cracks. The newly hatched nymphs are about the size of a pin and are light tan until they take a blood meal. After feeding the young nymphs look like walking poppy seeds. If the young nymphs are not moving, seeing them against a fabric or rough surface is very difficult.

SFU researchers invent first effective bed bug bait and trap

Posted on December 22, 2014 by toronto Click Here For Article

;

By giving blood weekly to her life partner's bug experiment, SFU scientist Regine Gries has all but given us the gift of freedom from bed bug torture.

Researchers from Simon Fraser University are hopeful they have discovered a way to get rid of bed bugs.

According to anew study,SFU biology professor Gerhard Gries and chemist Robert Britton have developed a pheromone to attract bed bugs into traps.

The bed bug pheromone consists of five volatile components that attract bed bugs combined with histamine, which signals safe shelter to the bug, causing them to stay put.

WATCH: Tips for dealing with bed bugs

At least one SFU researcher made a personal sacrifice in the name of science. Regine Gries, wife of lead researcher Gerhard Gries, suffered180,000 bed bug bites as part of the research. Shemay endure more bites as they work to finalize a commercial product.

Im not too thrilled about this, said Regine Gries, who is allergic to bug cites, in a statement, but knowing how much this technology will benefit so many people, its all worth it.

Once thought to be eradicated in developed nations, bed bugs have reappeared across Canada and around the globe.

Locally, bed bugs have been an ongoing problem in Vancouver and around B.C.In 2011, BC Housing spent nearly $750,000 dealing with bed bugs.

May 2014 in second floor room woke up with bites and found a bed bug. Inspected other bed in the room and saw small bed bugs (looked like red sesame seeds) coming up from mattress. The hotel brought in outside "engineers" to check and confirmed bed bugs. We moved to the 6th floor where there seemed to be no problems.

I checked into room 204. I saw a live bug crawling on the bed, killed it, and showed it to the front desk. They swore it was a roach, but it was clear they had had problems with bedbugs. They changed my room, which seemed to be bedbug-free.

I just got home from a three night stay at the hotel. My legs are covered with bites! They still have bedbugs. When I went to the reception, they said they never heard off bedbugs but still gave me a discount...
