Christopher,

Since Mr. Peterson stopped by a few months ago, you might instead try contacting him via Seattle Housing: http://www.seattlehousing.org/

I suspect thermal treatment is available to the public in Seattle, but do know know who is supplying it. Good luck!

Mr. Petersen,

We are facing a bed bug problem in several homes that we manage. Is the heat technology available to treat residential homes in the Sseattle area or do you know of anyone providing this service?

Thank you for your assistance!

Thanks for your comments, Bill. We really look forward to hearing more about your plans and their implementation. I hope it is a great success and will then inspire other housing authorities and housing managers in general to be proactive about bed bugs.

Thank you very much for all of your positive comments. We anticipate great success managing bedbug infestations utilizing a combination or resident education and these new technologies. The safety and health of our residents is our primary concern. We believe in taking a proactive IPM approach to identifying potential pest problems and then solving these issues in a manner that is both safe and cost effective.

Thanks for your comment, Doug.

Implementation, even of the best strategies, is also crucial, of course. But SHA has taken the crucial first steps and I look forward to seeing how things go there.

Early detection, education & use of an effective treatment technology are the key components of a proactive bed bug eradication program.

I believe that this model will prove to be the most cost effective approach to prevent & control the spread of bed bugs among the residents of large multiple unit buildings.
