Dealing with bed bugs is never easy. When they infest a building, they can become one of the toughest problems in pest control.
To help PCOs handle this resurgent pest, Larry Pinto and Sandy Kraft of the consulting and publishing firm of Pinto & Associates, and Richard Cooper, technical director of Cooper Pest Solutions, have published The Bed Bug Handbook: The Complete Guide to Bed Bugs and Their Control.
The book is a complete and up-to-date guide to bed bugs and their control. Extensively illustrated and with approximately 300 pages, the handbook provides practical, step-by-step guidance for preventing bed bug infestations and controlling outbreaks.
It includes details on bed bug inspections and methods of control including mechanical (encasements, vacuuming), thermal (dry heat, steam and cold), insecticide treatments and fumigation.
It also includes chapters on bed bug biology and habits, how bed bugs spread, business and management considerations, and medical and social impacts. There are also checklists for preventing and controlling bed bugs in apartments, hotels, furniture rental warehouses and other sites.
Until Oct. 15, Pinto & Associates is offering the book at $62, a $10 discount. It can be ordered by calling 301/884-3020 or through www.Techletter.com.
