Lunch and refreshments were served on a steamy summer afternoon. Afterwards, we presented an advanced training program on bed bugs and their control. We learned about their biology and habits in light of new research; we reviewed detection and treatment survey results; and we evaluated chemical, non-chemical and mechanical product performance. In the second part of the program, we learned about Dr. Susan Jones’ published study in the Journal of Medical Entomology on the effectiveness of permethrin-impregnated mattress liners. Attendees also had the opportunity to try out assessment tools hands-on and they took advantage of some special one-day-only promos.
