The Environmental Protection Agency had their National Bed Bugs Summit. Some people that actually read a lot of information about the summit at the EPA website have stated the summit produced a ton of ideas but more than half were about educating the public and about how odious the little critters are. Sure their were ideas such as create strategies, more funding for research, focus research to develop solutions and use new technologies. All solid ideas and things you typically hear at conferences. Hopefully the EPA will go beyond the conference and help the citizens of NJ, the Bronx, Queens, Manhattan and Brooklyn get rid of their bed bugs. Sure let’s urge the EPA to get rid of them all over the country and not just in NYC.

One idea that could be implemented soon and could be helpful to NYC residents is to provide official bed bug certification to pest control companies. Some apartment owners and homeowners have complained their pest control company didn’t seem to know much about bed bugs and did a poor job. Let’s just hope they don’t give certification to anyone with a bed bug on their business card.

If you have bed bugs ask a NJ, NYC bed bugs pest control expert to eliminate them.
