Coming in 2015: The First Bed Bug Trap Toronto …

Posted on January 2, 2015 by admin Click Here For Article

Right now, theres only one surefire way to know if youve got bed bugs and it itches like crazy. By the time you notice the lines of red, itching, burning bites, the bugs could have been multiplying in your mattress for days or even weeks. But researchers in Canada have a plan to catch the critters early and make it easier to stop an infestation from spreading.

A team of biologists and chemists at Simon Fraser University have identified for the first time a chemical scent that will lure bed bugs out of furniture and into traps. They published their research on the attractive pheromones in the chemistry journal Angewandte Chemie.

The biggest challenge in dealing with bed bugs is to detect the infestation at an early stage, said Gerhard Gries, one of the biologists who has spent years on the project. This trap will help landlords, tenants, and pest-control professionals determine whether premises have a bed bug problem, so that they can treat it quickly. It will also be useful for monitoring the treatments effectiveness.

Bed bugs were largely eradicated ages ago, but in the last decade they have reemerged in plague-like proportions around the world. Cities across the U.S. have seen infestations in homes, hotels, movie theaters and designer stores.

And once youve got bed bugs, theyre very hard to get rid of but very easy to pass around. An effective trap could help control the spread.

This isnt the first group to try to make a pheromone-laced bed bug trap, but it sounds like the SFU researchers have hit upon some promising compounds, said Brooke Borel, author of the upcoming book Infested: How the Bed Bug Infiltrated Our Bedrooms and Took Over the World (April 2015). Still, a new trap no matter how well designed will not get rid of the bed bug problem. Traps are tools that let pest controllers know bed bugs are in a home, but thats about it. Traps wont clear a bed bug infestation. For actual treatments, we still have limited choices, and that will likely continue.

The SFU team has brought their fragrant cocktail to Contech, a Canadian manufacturer of eco-friendly pet and garden products. They hope to have a commercial lure ready for sale in 2015.

Bed Bug Report for Hilton Garden Inn Washington DC …

Posted on January 2, 2015 by admin Click Here For Article

Hilton Garden Inn Washington DC Downtown 815 14th St Nw Washington, DC 20005-3301

Joanie on 05/04/2013

At Hilton garden in Washington I was bitten in multiple places may 3 2013 in room 404

Eric on 05/27/2012

I spent two nights in this hotel, 5/23-25/12, in room 201. I noticed 3 red bites in a line, typical of bed bugs, later in the day that we left.

Belly button bedbug bite on 09/02/2011

We checked into the Hilton Garden Inn, 815 14th Street N.W. Washington, D.C. on Saturday, Aug. 27,2011. My wife awoke on Monday, Aug. 29th with slightly raised, elevated red bumps on her abdomen, just above the umbilicus. They itched intensely, and the lesions remained throughout our stay, through Thursday, Septe. 1, 2011, and are still present as I write this on Sept.2. We reported this to the manager, Brian Reymann, after first looking up the bed bug registry on Google and finding that this ho

tel had been reported on 7 prior occasions. We notified the manager who we later spoke with, and we were required to move rooms at a great inconvenience. The manager had an "independent" inspector go over the room the next day, and the manager gave me a copy of a report stating that the room was not affected by bed bugs. I personally think this was a white wash, and do not believe the report, since my wife went to bed without the lesions and woke up with the lesions. I have compared these with photographes of the lesions on other web sites and they are identical. The manager compensated us for one night's room, when I feel that he should have compensated us for two nights. He also gave us a nice bottle of wine on the eve of our final night. We intend to see a doctor, but the Labor Day week-end makes a visit difficult until next week.
