WLOX.com reports that a bed bug education session was held in Gulfport, Mississippi yesterday:
GULFPORT, MS (WLOX) – Don’t let the bed bugs bite! That’s what local pest control employees, state health officials, and people in the tourism industry learned Tuesday.
About 70 people took part in a training session in Gulfport to learn more about the tiny insects that can inflict very painful bites.
In a video which accompanies the article, an unnamed member of the pest control industry explains that the focus of the event was on preventing bed bug infestations and learning to identify them and detect them.
That’s really exciting, because the best time to learn how to prevent, identify and control bed bugs is before your facility ever gets infested.
Being prepared isn’t just for the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. It’s the best way to fight the spread of bed bugs, everywhere.
