Sleep Tight Pest Control, a San Francisco-based company with over 12 years of experience in bed bug control, will be holding a seminar at the Joan and Ray Kroc Center in San Francisco on June 8, 2012. This one-day seminar will be conducted through the companys newest venture, Sleep Tight Academy and offers the most up-to-date trainings and information regarding the best practices of bed bug control.

Although DDT eliminated bed bugs in the United States in the early 20th century, resistance to DDT and other traditional chemical treatments has left most pest control companies baffled as to how to handle this new epidemic. Treatments are expensive and often dont work the first time, requiring landlords and tenants to pay thousands of dollars, often with no relief.

Bed bugs are being found and fought all over the United States- in single-family homes, apartment buildings and condos, hotels and motels, retail establishments, and even schools and churches. A survey, sponsored by the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), found that bedbug-related calls to exterminators have risen by 81% over the last decade and by 57% over the last five years.

Sleep Tight Academy uses seminars to educate property managers, hotel managers and staff, tenants, social service staff, and the general public about bed bugs and successful bed bug eradication. Sleep Tight Pest Control boasts a 98 percent success rate and provides a 30-day guarantee on all of their treatments.

Specializing in working with the highest-risk populations, Sleep Tight Pest Control developed their comprehensive bed bug control process based on Integrative Pest Management strategies using 12 years of experience fighting bed bugs. Sleep Tight Pest Controls bed bug abatement philosophy emphasizes prevention, active participation of all stakeholders and treatment of all items in the unit, leaving nothing to chance or human error. Sleep Tight Academy will utilize this expertise to provide InvaderSF2012 participants with a comprehensive understanding of the bed bug issue and empowering them to fight the bed bug epidemic.

Special guest speakers will include San Francisco District Supervisor Jane Kim and Department of Public Health Program Manager Karen Cohn, who will speak on recent and upcoming changes to San Franciscos bed bug regulations.

InvaderSF2012 participants will choose from eight workshops: Treatment 101, IPM Strategies, The Financial Impact, Property Management Responsibilities, Stopping the Problem Before It Starts, Bridging the Gap Between Landlord and Tenants, Be a Bed Bug Detective, and When Two Issues Collide: Hoarding and Bed Bugs.

San Diego, Los Angeles, and Honolulu can also expect a visit from Sleep Tight Academy in the next few months. Register for InvaderSF2012 now at http://www.SleepTightAcademy.com

Want to Stop the Bed Bug Invasion? Sleep Tight Academy Will Show You How

Lawrenceville, NJ (PRWEB) March 28, 2012

Last week, Orkin (a subsidiary of Rollins Inc.) released its top 50 bed bug cities list for 2011 and entomologists and pest control professional are currently debating what factors effect fluctuations in bed bug populations in a given city. Is the population dependent on high tourism, such as New York (#9 on list) or Los Angeles (#5), warmer average summer temperatures in southern cities like Dallas (#7), or are trends from city to city driven more by warmer than average seasonal temperatures?

Although these types of lists provide insight into trends within a city, bed bug awareness and prevention continues to be the critical step in minimizing the spread of this pest.

This recent list about bed bugs should not cause panic or provide a sense of security for residents in these particular cities, said Jeffrey White, Technical Director and Research Entomologist at BedBug Central. Although a city may have moved on the list, many factors can influence the rankings on this list. For example, since only one company was evaluated, this company could have multiple chains or a greater influence and presence in one city over another.

Over the past year, the Department of Housing, Preservation and Development (HPD) in New York City reported a small decrease in bed bug complaints for the first time since the resurgence started. A decrease in bed bug calls may be due to an increase public awareness from the various media coverage this pest has received or due to the efforts of NYC to institute bed bug policies recommended by the Bed Bug Advisory Board.

In contrast, Dallas, a city with limited media bed bug coverage, reported significant increases in bed bug service calls in 2011 compared with 2010.

In addition to looking at trends within cities, many experts in the Northeast are wondering what affect the warmer than normal winter that has recently ended will have on summer bed bug populations.

We have definitely documented for the past few years that bed bugs show a seasonal trend where July through September are their peak time, said White. Although bed bugs are a problem year round, this significant peak in activity during the warmer months is most likely due to the warmer temperatures inside the home or other public places.

In response to the warmer than average winter in the Northeast, BedBug Central asked several companies in the Northeast to compare winter 2011 to winter 2012 bed bug service calls to see if there has been an increase in bed bug populations.

Most companies we spoke to are not reporting an increase this winter in bed bug calls in residential homes compared to last winter, said White. That being said this does not conclude that the warmer than average winter temperatures will not affect summer bed bugs. Unfortunately we wont gain additional insight until the summer is behind us.

Recent Bed Bug List Provides Insight, but Unseasonably Warm Winter has Experts Worried About Populations for Summer

DENVER – Pests in your home can be a nuisance, but one woman says the practice of getting rid of those pests in her apartment complex is turning her life upside down.

A 9NEWS viewer contacted us and says Pinnacle Real Estate Management has a contract with a pest control company that sprays every two weeks.

The woman, who wanted to remain anonymous, says she’s never seen bed bugs or cockroaches in her place at in the 1400 block of Jersey Street in Denver, but every two weeks, she has to pack up her life for spraying.

“It doesn’t even seem like home,” she told 9NEWS, “because we’re always packing up everything.”

The viewer says she’s been living in the building for almost a year. The previous management company sprayed every month. The new one, Pinnacle Real Estate Management, has been spraying for cockroaches and bed bugs every two weeks.

This means residents have to pack up their belongings every single time.

“Clean out every closet, floorboards of every closet, pack up the bathroom, pack up bedroom, lift up the bed, closet in the bedroom, kitchen, pack up the kitchen, every dish,” she said. “Pots and pans in the kitchen, including the living room, pick up everything and pack it away in a bag and cover it.”

Pinnacle Property Management refused to talk to 9NEWS on camera.

9NEWS has left a message for Best Buy Pest Control, which is the company the property management company uses to spray for bugs.

The viewer says she’s had just about as much luck with both of those parties herself.

Woman says apt. pest control ruining her life

Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) March 22, 2012

A report from ABCNews.com said that Rollins, a pest-control company, has released a list of the top 50 cities infested by bed bugs in 2011. According to the report, Cincinnati topped the ranking. On the other hand, West Palm Beach and Fort Pierce were ranked the least infested.

The said ranking was based on the number of bed bug treatments performed by the company in the cities. The bed bug treatments counted were those implemented from January to December of 2011. Additionally, the report said that there was about 33.6 percent increase in the bed bug business last year compared to 2010.

Knowing that bed bugs are troublesome, BedBugControl911.com advised city residents to be always on the look out for the pests. As it said, it’s not just bed bugs in Florida, Cincinnati or any other city that everybody must be wary of. People must be careful of the pests from everywhere as they are sneaky and fast to spread, it added.

Read below the excerpt of the report Top 50 Bed Bug Attacked Cities Revealed from BedBugControl911.com

===================

It’s a big boost for a city to be named safe. However, it’s a big blow to the gut if it’s labeled unsafe. And small as bed bugs are, their presence can hurt badly a city’s pride and image. And for the named top 50 favorite cities of bed bugs, surely, that is something that needs to be addressed immediately.

According to one pest control corporation that released a recent top 50 list of major US cities infested by the blood-sucking pests, bed bug business in 2011 is 33.6 percent higher than 2012. Basically, the company’s listing was based on the number of bed bug treatments performed from January to December of last year.

Several cities dropped in ranking compared to last year. Examples of those cities are Dayton, Indianapolis and Minneapolis. However, many more moved up the ladder. Los Angeles is one those with a very significant rise in ranking jumping 20 spots higher. Cincinnati though remains the top bed bug infested city while West Palm Beach and Ft. Pierce are the least invaded.

Pest Control Company Releases Top 50 Bed Bug Infested US Cities, BedBugControl911.com Offers Residents Green Help

Feeling oddly itchy these days, L.A.? That’s to be expected. Pest control company Orkin recently released a list of bug-infested cities that’s making our skin crawl.

Los Angeles has landed the number 5 spot in the “Top 50 Bed Bug Cities.” We rank just behind the even buggier cities of Cincinnati, Chicago, Detroit and Denver. Making our stomachs turn more is the fact that L.A. jumped from spot 25 to 5 from 2010 to 2011.

What’s causing this nasty infestation? Orkin entomologist and Technical Services Director Ron Harrison, Ph.D. says in a release, “Several of the top 50 cities have large, busy airports, and there could be a correlation between increased travel and bed bug activity. The changes could also be because the bed bug population is increasing overall, or even because the public is becoming more aware of bed bugs and has become better adept at identifying them.”

Harrison also notes, to our dismay, that bed bugs multiply quickly, are “great hitchhikers” and “can be found in other places than the bedroom.” The little blood-suckers carry over 30 different human pathogens but are not known to transmit diseases.

If you notice itchy welts or red marks on your skin, you may be faced with the double b’s. They resemble apple seeds in size and color and are nocturnal, and Harrison advises residents to “check mattress seams, sheets and furniture, behind baseboards, electrical outlet plates and picture frames for small reddish-brown spots and lightly-colored molted bed bug skins.” Blech.

Three other Golden State cities made the list, including San Francisco at #12, San Diego at #26 and Sacramento at #41.

Orkin lists a few ways to avoid bringing bed bugs home with you, which you can (and apparently should) read here.

L.A. Ranks #5 in "Top 50 Bed Bug Cities"

Pest control company Orkin has released their annual list of the most bed bug-ridden cities in the U.S. and it turns out San Diego lets the bed bugs bite — but not as much as other cities.

Orkin ranked Americas Finest City number 26 on the list, which is based on the number of bed bug treatments the company performed in 2011.

The top spot for bed bugs went to Cincinnati, Ohio. Chicago took home second place, while Detroit came in third for bed bug infestation and Denver ranked fourth.

Los Angeles took the fifth spot on the list, up a whopping 20 spots from last year, when it came in at number 25. Dallas/Fort Worth took 7th place, a drastic change from 50th place last year.

Perennial bed bug hotspot New York City dropped two places to ninth, while the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose area took the 12th spot.

Overall, the number of bed bug incidents climbed 33.6-percent over the previous year.

“The changes in some cities’ rankings show bed bugs continue to be a problem in most areas of the U.S.,” said Orkin entomologist and Technical Services Director Ron Harrison.

“Several of the top 50 cities have large, busy airports, and there could be a correlation between increased travel and bed bug activity.”

To avoid bringing bed bugs home from a trip, Orkin advices travelers to remember the acronym S.L.E.E.P.

It stands for the following: Survey bed surfaces for small, rust-colored spots on the sheets. Lift and look for pesky bed bugs in hiding spots such as underneath the mattress or furniture, Elevate luggage or a rack or chair, away from the bed. Examine luggage carefully while repacking. Place all clothing from luggage immediately in the dryer for at least 15 minutes on the highest setting as soon as returning home from a trip.

What U.S. City Tops List For Bed Bugs?

Dick Uliano, wtop.com

WASHINGTON – Chests swell with pride when cities are placed atop various lists: Best City for Families; City with the Best Pizza; City with the Best Parks.

But the newest list of the top 50 cities might have mayors and city managers running for cover — the Top 50 Cities for Bed Bugs.

Orkin, the pest control company, has ranked cities based on the number of bed bug treatments they conducted in 2011. Cincinnati is at the top of the list, followed by Chicago, Detroit and Denver.

D.C. is eighth on Orkin’s list, but the good news for the nation’s capital is that D.C. has dropped from fifth place in 2010.

“Bed bugs continue to be everywhere in the United States and appear to be moving further south than they originally were in high concentrations,” said Ron Harrison, Orkin entomologist.

Reflecting the spread of bed bugs into southern climates, Los Angeles jumped from 25th place in 2010 to fifth place on Orkin’s list for 2011. Dallas/Forth Worth has leaped from 50th place to seventh.

Richmond is 10th on the list, up six places. Baltimore is 18th, down six places. Salisbury is up 46 spots to No. 43.

Harrison finds the list interesting for the way it’s expanded, “from the cities in the Northeast and the Midwest to the Southern cities,” he said.

Researchers now say that the creepy bugs have a special genetic gift: withstanding incest. It turns out that unlike most creatures, bedbugs are able to inbreed with close relatives and still produce generally healthy offspring. That means that if just a few bedbugs survive in a building after treatment, they repopulate quickly. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon, File) (Alex Brandon)

LOS ANGELES – Los Angeles climbed 20 spots to fifth in the nation in number of bed bug incidents treated by pest control company Orkin last year.

The company recently released a list of the top 50 cities based on the number of bed bug treatments it did in 2011.

The overall number of incidents climbed 33.6 percent over the previous year.

Cincinnati had the highest number of bed bug treatments, followed by Chicago, Detroit, Denver and Los Angeles.

The perennial hotspot New York City dropped two places to ninth.

The San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose area was 12th, San Diego, 26th, and Sacramento-Stockton-Modesto, 41st.

“The changes in some cities’ rankings show bed bugs continue to be a problem in most areas of the U.S.,” said Orkin entomologist and Technical Services Director Ron Harrison. “Several of the top 50 cities have large, busy airports, and there could be a correlation between increased travel and bed bug activity.

The recession put a dent in the Home Furniture Rental industry’s revenue. As rental vacancy rates rose and credit tightened, consumers were either unable or willing to spend on furniture, especially because furniture is often considered a discretionary product. In addition to the recession, a bedbug scare that spread to epidemic proportions limited demand for rental furniture. As a result, many operators either consolidated or exited the industry. The industry will have to contend with increasing competition from cheap imports and traditional retailers, which will pressure growth. Nevertheless, as disposable income rebounds, consumer spending on rental furniture is expected to rise. For these reasons, industry research firm IBISWorld has added a report on the Home Furniture Rental industry to its growing industry report collection.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 29, 2012

There is a moderate level of market share concentration in the Home Furniture Rental industry. The largest three companies are Rent-A-Center, Aarons Inc. and Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Industry mergers have been more frequent among the larger and more-established retailers, which has increased market share. According to Kaczanowska, in 2008 and 2009, competitive pressure in a crowded market resulted in operators merging or exiting the industry. However, the industry is still made up of many small and medium-size businesses.

In response to the steep drop in furniture rental, the industry was forced to take significant cost-cutting measures to remain profitable. IBISWorld estimates that industry employment declined over the five years to 2012. Mainly as a result of cost-cutting measures, but also due to unprofitable operators exiting the industry, profit is expected to rebound. As consumer spending and the housing market rebound in the next five years, they are expected to boost consumer demand for furniture rental. As the job market also recovers, IBISWorld anticipates an increase in business professionals who have temporary needs for furnishings. Also, an increase in employment is forecast as the industry works to meet the growing demand for residential furniture rental.
