Dear John,
I was told that there was a pattern to bed bugs and how they infiltrated a city. I said, time will tell for GA; we are not lost to them yet. Now, a year later, I can say that I have seen the pattern build as predicted, and we should expect to see more.
The pattern was explained to me as follows: It starts in the hotels. Guests complaining and management trying to figure out what has blindsided them. Then the residential clients start to feel the pain. They panic and start covering their homes in chemicals. Then, finally, the apartment management companies throw up their hands and ask...how do we stop this plague???
I have seen the progression in GA and in our client base. We are not a mature bed bug state yet, but if we continue spraying them, they will spread. Be vigilant with your flashlight, vacuum, and heat, and we will stop the progress together.
May the heat be with you! |
