Triangle Pest Control to Hold NC Bed Bug Seminar in Research Triangle Park

May 4, 2011 - PRLog -- The first-ever global bed bug study, conducted last year by the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) in conjunction with the University of Kentucky, revealed that bed bug infestation is unquestionably on the rise worldwide.  Of the 1,000 US and international pest management companies surveyed, 95 percent of them reported fighting bed bugs in 2010.
The results of the study signal what Missy Henriksen, vice president of public affairs for NPMA, refers to as being “on the threshold of a bed bug pandemic.”

In response to community interest in this growing threat, Triangle Pest Control, a Raleigh pest control and bed bug extermination company, has brought together national and local bed bug experts for the NC Bed Bug Seminar - “The Bed Bug Invasion,” June 8, 2011, at the Hilton Raleigh Airport in Research Triangle Park.  

This half-day, limited registration informational session is designed to educate NC business owners about the threat posed by bed bug parasites while also giving attendees an inside track on thwarting bed bug infestation.

Experts will answer questions such as:

   * What are bed bugs?
   * How do you get bed bugs?
   * Why should I be concerned about bed bugs?
   * Do bed bugs carry diseases?
   * How do I know if my business has them?
   * Who do I call to handle my bed bug problem?
   * What can I do to help prevent from getting bed bugs?

“One of the biggest things that we want business owners to understand is that bed bugs are a new reality and measures must be taken to manage these insects” says Donnie Shelton, scheduled presenter and President & CEO of Triangle Pest Control.  “These parasites not only can cost thousands of dollars to eliminate, but having your business infested with bed bugs can tarnish your reputation with customers, leading to lost revenue down the road.”

Shelton notes that, in addition to individuals in the hospitality industry, the seminar is perfect for professionals who manage multi-unit housing; college and university campus housing; hospitals, assisted living facilities, and emergency care facilities; furniture rental companies; and also schools, nurseries, day camps, and summer camps.

“If you are a business owner or operator who is concerned about the threat of bed bugs, you should attend the NC Bed Bug Seminar.”
