In this episode Jeffrey White will have his first guest on Bed Bug TV, Allie Taisey, and they will discuss the future of bed bugs and how many affordable housing communities across the United States are handing bed bug infestations.
In this episode Jeffrey White will explain why Phantom insecticide may be a good option for bed bug control and why if you are evaluating a pest control company and their protocol, you may want to see this pesticide being used. Phantom insecticide is a pesticide that, in some areas, may be used as part of a bed bug control plan. As stated previously, a multi-disciplinary approach to bed bug control is highly recommended (steamers, Cryonite, vacuums, etc) but when pesticides are needed, Phantom may be a good option to choose. Watch the video to learn more.
In this episode of BedBug TV, Jeffrey White explains how to determine if your personal steamer will be effective in killing both bed bugs and their eggs on contact. One thing that we know about bed bugs is that they are susceptible to heat and if they are exposed to temperatures in excess of 180 degrees Fahrenheit both bed bugs and their eggs should be killed on contact. If you have further questions relating to steamers, write a comment and we would be happy to answer.
In this episode, Jeffrey White of BedBug Central will explain the role a vacuum can play when attempting to removing bed bugs from your home, the right vacuum to choose for this job and the things you should be aware of when using a vacuum to remove bugs. Vacuums can play a critical role in bed bug control and management because they can remove a large number of bed bugs from a home in a short amount of time. By doing so, you don’t have to worry about pesticide tolerant or resistant bugs because instead of spraying the bugs with pesticide, you are removing them from the home. When choosing a vacuum, it is recommended that you use a vacuum that empties into a bag because bed bugs have been shown to be able to live inside a vacuum and when you are done vacuuming bed bugs with a vacuum that bags you can dispose of the vacuum bag in an outdoor trash receptacle. If you choose a HEPA filter vacuum, although they can be good vacuums, they can be difficult to completely empty out and therefore bed bugs and their eggs may live inside the vacuum and re-infest your home.
In episode #26 of BedBug TV, Jeffrey White talks about bed bugs in the workplace. This episode will explain how you can inspect your work area and suggestions managers can consider in regards to ongoing bed bug monitoring.

In episode #18 of BedBug TV, Jeffrey White discusses the differences in treatment approaches when dealing with a bat bug infestation. Recently in some online forums, he's read that bat bug and bed bug treatments do not differ, or at least not much, from each other. While this may be close to the truth, there are a few minor differences that are critical when dealing with bat bugs.
One of the most important differences is that as long as the bats are present in the home (in the attic or wherever else), the bat bugs may be as well. One of the earliest and most important steps to eradicating bat bug infestations is to exclude the bats from the home. After that, Jeff does agree that bat bug and bed bug treatments tend to be very similar and if anything, based on his experiences, bat bugs tend to be slightly easier to eradicate compared with bed bugs.
Time for a throwback to episode #12 of BedBug TV. In this episode, Jeffrey White the Technical Director of BedBug Central, discusses the pesticide active ingredient Boric Acic. Check it out.
