June PCT included “Bed Bugs: A New Day,” a excerpt from the forthcoming Mallis Handbook of Pest Control, 11th edition. The excerpt is from the bed bug chapter written by Richard Cooper and it discusses client preparation/client cooperation, inspection tips and tricks, management vs. elimination, and more. Below are references from this excerpt.
