Advanced Educational
This is the section of our site where we include documents relevant to pest problems which may not be caused by bedbugs.
They are all based on cases we have worked on over the last 7 years and may offer some assistance if you are experience a bite like reaction but cant find any signs of bedbug activity. We are happy to assist you with this types of issue but please understand it is not our core business activity and as such our resources and advice may not be as thorough in these areas.
Other “biting” pests
Bird Mites - biting mites which are associated with current or vacated birds nests. They are on the edge of human site and are most commonly described as moving “full stops”. Seek professional experienced assistance with this pest as they are notoriously difficult to deal with.
Carpet Beetles - although they technically speaking do not bite they can induce a “bite like” allergic reaction from the hairs which can be become electro statically attracted and embed in your skin.
Pscocids - again a non biting pest that some people can have reactions to. They feed exclusively on mould and fungal spores which usually relate to dampness in the infected area
Advanced Bed Bugs Information
Small Bug, Big Problem - Poster presentation from a recent UK GP’s conference Nov 2009 prepared in conjunction with Bed Bugs Limited.
Scales of Infestation - This is our scale of how we grade infestations. We hope that other pest control companies will adopt this method so that they can better communicate methods of control with the understanding that different levels of infestation require different control strategies.
Over the years we have also developed significant resources for specific industries such as hospitality, medical professionals, landlords and letting agents. To access these files please send us an email outlining your situation and we will be happy to send your any relevant documents.
Passive Bed Bug Monitors
As the inventors of Passive Bedbug monitors we have more field knowledge of their use than any other company in the world. Although we are slightly flattered by some of the clones and those who have “borrowed” our ideas and terminology most have sadly not based their work on field observations and developments. We provide the documents below to illustrate their efficiency and to help people to use them as part of their bedbug detection and eradication strategy.
Initial Field trial results and data - Report illustrating the field trial results of passive bedbug monitors conducted by an independent pest control firm.
Treatment by passive monitor replacement - In some situations treatment is possible through the replacement and targeted cleaning of areas with light bedbug infestations. This development protocol outlines the necessary steps.
2011 field trial update on passive monitors - As part of our ongoing commitment to developing the passive monitor technology we have conducted a number of tests. This document indicates where the technology can be utilised in a practical way to assist with early detection and control of bedbugs.
2011 Optimising furniture to reduce the impact of an infestation of bedbugs - Tips and principles for optimising furniture in advance of an infestation of bedbugs to aid early detection and reduce the spread.
Additional reports
Bedbug bites - photo documentation of the bite responses that our managing director endures to maintain our colonies of bedbugs which are utilised in our research and development programs. We currently have colonies of about 2,000 live samples.
