Local Bed Bug Experts to Speak at NC Bed Bug Seminar in Research Triangle Park

May 9, 2011 - PRLog -- Local bed bug experts will be discussing the growing threat of bed bugs at the NC Bed Bug Seminar - "The Bed Bug Invasion," on June 8 at the Hilton Raleigh-Durham Airport in Research Triangle Park.  This limited registration educational event, hosted by Raleigh-based Triangle Pest Control, is open to local business owners and operators who want to learn more about the growing issue of bed bug infestation and how it is impacting North Carolina businesses.

"Over the past few years, bed bug infestation has exploded across the nation and North Carolina," notes Donnie Shelton, President & CEO of Triangle Pest Control.  "If your business hasn't had to deal with bed bugs so far, statistically, it is just a matter of time before it will."

The NC Bed Bug Seminar is in direct response to this heightened threat, says Shelton.

"Our goal is to inform business owners about the realities of bed bugs and to help them defend against these parasites."

The seminar’s expert panel will offer insights and the latest information about bed bug management and prevention.  Slated topics will range from overviews of basic bed bug biology to learning about cutting-edge prevention and bed bug extermination technologies, such as heat remediation and bed bug canine scent detection.

Scheduled speakers include:
*Dr. Michael Waldvogel, Extension Associate Professor of Entomology at NC State University and Director of the NCSU Structural Pest Management Training and Research Facility

*Dr. Jung Wook Kim, bed bug specialist for the Public Health Pest Management (PHPM-DEH) Section of the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources

*Jeremiah Smith, Bed Bug K-9 Scent Detection Handler for Triangle Pest Control

*Donnie Shelton, President & CEO of Triangle Pest Control
