Oregon Hotel Partners with Local Pest Control Company to Host Bed Bug Symposium

March 25, 2011 - PRLog -- Brookings, OR – Bed bugs are back and they are not just infesting the metropolitan areas, but the outlying suburbs and coastal towns. In response to the crisis at hand, Eden Advanced Pest Technologies is partnering with the Best Western Beach Front Inn to educate members from the most vulnerable industries: hospitality, housing and property management.
“With a bed bug epidemic that shows no signs of slowing, we at Eden believe it to be extremely important for everyone to be on the same page and intelligently address this pest. We have developed a bed bug response plan that will help our clients do just that,” said Jack Marlowe, CEO of Eden Advanced Pest Technologies headquartered in Olympia, Washington. “We feel that it is important to share that information with the public and discuss what we have found to be best practices when working together to achieve the most effective solution at the lowest cost.”
The bed bug symposium will be held on Thursday, March 31st from 9:00a.m. to 1:00p.m.

The symposium will include: a presentation about the history, biology, and behavior of bed bugs, a  hands-on demonstration of inspection and identification techniques as well as the latest detection and monitoring tools, thorough treatment methods, required to eliminate bed bug infestations, and protocols that insure the highest success rate at the lowest cost. There will also be a demonstration of the latest heat remediation technology in one of the hotel rooms.

Attendees will have the opportunity to express their concerns, ask questions and discuss their issues when it comes to protecting their facilities and operations in the event of a bed bug infestation.

The event is free to attend but an RSVP is required, as there is only space for 100 attendees..
