This is an interesting article that was published on www.pestworld.org regarding industry wide strategies on targeting the much talked about, pesky, bed bugs.
January 27, 2011 (Fairfax, VA) In its continuing effort to offer education and guidance as pest management professionals develop their response to the bed bug pandemic, the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) today released its Best Management Practices for Bed Bugs, offering guidelines to help PMPs control bed bugs effectively, responsibly, and safely.
Created by the NPMA Blue Ribbon Bed Bug Task Force, a broad-based stakeholder group whose goal is the development of an industry-wide, multi-faceted response to the bed bug pandemic, the Best Management Practices for Bed Bugs provide guidance in the areas of service agreements, recordkeeping, technician and sales staff training, client education, disposal of beds, furniture, possessions, bed bug detection, treatment methods, and health and safety concerns.
“Because there are multiple products, methods and technologies that may be employed as part of a successful bed bug treatment plan, it is important that pest management professionals are aware of the myriad factors that should be considered when determining which products or methods are the best option to control a given bed bug infestation,” stated NPMA Executive Vice President Rob Lederer. “The NPMA Best Management Practices for Bed Bugs provide PMPs the tools they need to ensure they are treating this elusive pest effectively, responsibly, and safely.”
In addition to providing these best management practices to industry professionals, NPMA will encourage consumers to seek use of the BMPs in working with PMPs. NPMA members can direct their customers to learn more about the new guidance document at www.BedBugBMPs.org. Additionally, they will be posted on www.pestworld.org.

The NPMA, a non-profit organization with more than 7,000 members, was established in 1933 to support the pest management industry’s commitment to the protection of public health, food and property. For more information, visit NPMApestworld.org.

The love bug, also known as the honeymoon fly, kissing bug or double-headed bug, is a member of the march flies. The love bug is found in the southeastern United States, especially along the Gulf Coast, and parts of Central America. The bug gets its name because it remains coupled for several days during and after mating.
Love bugs do not typically bite or sting, however, their major nuisance is what is known as their “flights”. Love Bugs fly in groups of hundreds and thousands…making them hard to miss. They can become most irritating when travelling along highways where they tend to get stuck on cars and are difficult to remove if left for more than a couple of hours. Love bugs have two major flights per year, the first one being in late April and May, and the second during late August and September. Flights can last anywhere from four to five weeks.
The female love bugs live only three to four days while males have a longer life cycle. With a longer life cycle, you’d think that the male love bugs would remember Valentine’s Day. Unfortunately, some still forget.
If you are one of the forgetful love bugs, check out our list of 10 last minute Valentine’s Day gifts!
