New Web Site Crawling With Bed Bug Information

SURREY, British Columbia, Canada — As bed bugs continue to become public enemy No. 1 in many parts of North America, the need remains to educate not only pest management professionals — but also the public — about these problematic pests.

One of the latest Web sites pest management professionals may want to consider visiting is www.thebedbugresource.com. The site was created by Sean Rollo, quality assurance manager and technical advisor for a major North American pest control company. “This is a project I started on the side as a hobby and it’s not affiliated with my employer,” he said. “My goal was to create an unbiased site focused solely on providing information about bed bugs.”

Rollo has been in the pest control industry for five years and during that time much of his focus has been on researching bed bugs and methods for controlling them. He also has given numerous bed bug presentations to pest management professionals as well as property managers and those involved in the hotel industry. Rollo said www.thebedbugresource.com currently receives 1,000+ hits per day from all areas of the world.
