Whether you are a pest control operator, property manager, facilities manager or otherwise involved in detection, prevention or remediation of bed bugs, these sessions are designed to help you and your staff understand and implement a more effective bed bug strategy.

Taught by Jeffrey White and other instructors from BedBug Central, this is unique opportunity to learn in an interactive and hands-on environment.  In addition to the educational sessions, there will be a product/services showcase including exhibits from the leaders in the bed bug industry.

The boot camps are sponsored by Dow AgroSciences and Forshaw.
