Chicago Suburb hosting 2010 North American Bed Bug Summit

Sounds like a great time. 

I'm sure the hotel management jumped at the opportunity to host it . . .

Aaron Bastable, director of sales at the Hyatt Rosemont, said he's confident White and other exhibiters will keep the bedbugs locked tight in their jars.

"You know these are entomologists and these are the professionals in the industry," Bastable said. "If anyone knows how to contain them, then it's going to be them."


And, if anything goes wrong, the hotel is occupied by a small army of people who have trained bedbug hunters and exterminators. They said trained dogs can sniff out the bugs, which can
be killed with chemicals, heat and steam.

Relevance is the hotels bikers stay in, on tour, and while arriving at a far-away event.

if you're worried about infestations while out on the road, there are two simple and natural solutions to the problem of bedbugs, fleas, and ticks: diatomaceous earth aka: de and heat. the first is the inert and active ingredient in certain insecticides and safe to humans and their (non-insect) pets. the second is a simple treatment of putting your *dry* bedsheets and bed clothes through a cycle in a laundry dryer set to high. doing so kills the adults, their larvae as well as any eggs.

remember those old bedwarmers you can only find in the museums these days? they did more than make the mattress cozy... they ironed out the bugs in the bedding!
