Is she gonna use them as croutons?
;)I'm braced. The usual blather, the usual file footage, slice-of-life example. Examples of treatments that are not economically/socially sustainable or don't really work. Vague helpful tips that people can't/won't follow or are just plain wrong...

cilecto... you are Hilarious... i'm making that Bingo Card.

E.V.O.O. Salt over the shoulder paprika, black pepper Toss and in to the oven 350 for 2 hours !! ~~let the mother F@@@@@ burn burn oh don't forget to turn the light on in the oven so you can watch them suffer!!
-
I wonder if there are those who fancy a game of Bingo at PestWorld next week? I recon its a good chance to stop a lot of the names and I dare say tick off most of the product based draws as well.
I wonder if we have anyone capable of making an online version amongst us, it would certain make a great facebook / myspace /social networking app.
It would also make a great snakes and ladders style game.

Bed Bugs LimitedGreat idea!
Online version is an option if anyone has the skill set. I don't!
If someone wants to mock up a sheet, I am happy to host it.
Here's your model:

I don't think anyone will win!! Not a lot of advice!! Didn't even show all stages of BB!! Packtite was there But I think she suggested to do it yourself! I sent her a letter with this web address!!didn't even say the words ENCASEMENT used the word used sealant or slip cover If I didn't already know as much as I do about BB I would think I could sew 2 sheets together and be safe!! Bag all untreated stuff on only high heat in dryer for 12 min!!DDT<banned, hotels,travel,Dog,no health conquences YEA Right what about the sleep depervation!!she also suggested to put untreated stuff in bags!! she had the phantom BB she was itchy!!
-

While I was obviously thrilled to see packtite get a good review and some face time on the show, I was surprised they did not mention this site or link to it on her more info section of her website. When I was approached by the producer and asked to send a packtite, I specifically told them they must check out bedbugger.com and include it. Shows how much clout I have! I knew nobugsonme wouldn't include the absence of bedbugger.com in the comments about the show, but for me that was the big omission.

David James,
Thanks for mentioning Bedbugger when you were contacted by the Rachael Ray folks -- I really appreciate your support for the site.
I think this site does not lend itself well to soundbites, and people who visit and see the main page has news may have trouble finding what they would deem useful (FAQs or forum). A long-term goal has been to restructure the main page to show this three-part structure more readily. I am going to do that when I am able to.
-
I fell if More people wrote her a letter an includes the website in the letter she may realize she should do a second segment!! I do think she should of mentioned the site on her show!! BECAUSE This Site was a life saver for not just only me BUT a lot of others who are not posting and just reading!! when I spoke to ORKIN Pest control (My PCO)They said that I was doing a great job on the do's and dont's of The BB thingy(sorry i am tired)!! And I have this site to thank for that!!so lets ALL write her a letter Everyone Maybe she will get one!! All you have to include is this web site!! If the website has helped you at all!!

BUT being tho I have a big mouth and sometimes don't know how to hold my tong like others here!! Would it be a possibility that you could require them to at least mention the site!!

I doubt any pop show is going to get everything correct but it does not sound as bad as the bedbugger pre show pundits predicted. I do on one hand find it a bit too coincidental that one of the "bed bug victims" Natalie Raben just happens to be the marketing director for a pest control firm?
-
crossed my mind too!! I will stop there!!
-
Hi Winston,
Nathalie did say she works for M&M as I said here. She said she worked there doing "research" and "writing," so it's interesting to learn she is a marketing director...
On the other hand, the RR site (in its "For more information" links next to the article and under the short video clip) is promoting Bed Bug Central (which provided stock photos) and "Quest" (apparently the dog team shown on their website is the same as the one doing Nathalie's inspection). There's a link to the Quest k9 site and the Quest pest control site.
But no link to M&M. It was probably a conscious choice not to use her employer for the treatment, or to promote them. Unless of course there's some connection between M&M and Quest.

While it is always appreciated when people spread the word about this site, I would not want someone to try to pressure someone to mention it. It would be pushy and would seem quite creepy. I know that's how I would react if I were them.

Absolutely NB all credit where credit is due, you did mention it in your post.
It just seemed that "Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world ............. -
Yes.
One other thing that crossed my mind fleetingly was "did she bring them HOME from work?!?"

"did she bring them HOME from work?!?"I thought that was given!!
-
Umm I guess not required!! You can only do so much right !! But if it were me I really would not be creeped out I would take it into consideration and research it first then make my decision!! and come on now we both know once you come to this site you get addicted!!Cant wait to hit that next post!! There are a lot of other things in the world to be creeped out by ~~ IMHO!!~~
-
Hmmm... I knew I had seen Nathalie before. She's the presenter on the M&M youtube videos.
For example:
