Luckily, Prototype is here to translate: Move over, bloodhounds, there’s a new odor detector in town.

The Wasp Hound, designed by the two scientists, is a hand-held device containing five parasitic wasps. These flying, stinger-less insects have outperformed dogs in tests that measure scent detection of cadavers, but research shows that they can be taught to sniff out anything: explosives, drugs and even that newly resurgent scourge: bedbugs.

Yes, wasps can be taught to react to the whiff of bedbugs’ pheromones. All that Mr. Rains and Mr. Lewis say they need to get their company, SmartHound Technologies, on the road to addressing the nation’s outbreak of bloodsucking pests — among many other problems — is $200,000. But so far, raising capital for research and development has been a challenge.

“If you suddenly discover a new chemical, there’s all kinds of chemical companies,” Mr. Lewis says. “All you have to do is plug it in to an existing infrastructure.” But when it comes to training bugs to swarm, no infrastructure exists. “So we’ve got this new tool with this big gap that we need to cross,” he adds. “At this point, that’s where we’re at: How can we get across that divide and take it to the marketplace?”

The Wasp Hound provides a window into the difficult process of turning scientific research — especially groundbreaking research — into a marketable product. Mr. Rains, 45, an associate professor at the University of Georgia, and Mr. Lewis, 68, a retired research entomologist who worked for nearly 40 years for the Agricultural Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture, have jointly patented the Wasp Hound with their respective institutions. They have teamed with the Georgia Centers of Innovation, a state economic development program, to begin attracting investors. But they know they face an uphill battle.

“The term ‘wasp’ elicits a certain fear, though ours don’t sting people and are friendly,” Mr. Lewis says. Then there’s this problem: “We don’t know how to work with people who are venture capitalists. That’s not our thing; we’re scientists. I guess you’d say we’ve floundered a little bit.”

The genesis of the Wasp Hound goes back to 1988, when Mr. Lewis and a colleague, J. H. Tumlinson, published a paper in the scientific journal Nature that demonstrated how the associative learning process used by insects rivals that of higher organisms. These findings, which spawned more published papers — and which Mr. Lewis says were so radical that “had we suggested them 25 years earlier, we would have been laughed out of our profession” — led to the idea that wasps, like dogs, could potentially be used to detect targets.

First, Mr. Lewis and his colleagues had to answer an important question. While their research showed that wasps were undeniably learning and responding to chemicals and stimuli within their natural context, it was less clear whether they could learn to track things not found in their habitats: incendiary devices, say, or the chemicals typically used in arson. The answer: “We found they could detect almost anything.”

Then it became an engineering problem: how to design a tool that harnessed this insect’s skills in a way that people could easily use? That’s where Mr. Rains came in. “We devised a way of detecting the change in behavior of the wasps that would tell us when they detected an odor,” he says. “Pavlov’s dog, when you rang the bell, would always salivate. Well, wasps don’t salivate, but we found some specific behaviors they did do.”

When wasps have been trained to associate a particular odor with a reward — a good, long drink of sugar water — they get excited when they smell it. “They really move around,” Mr. Lewis says. “Like pigs to a trough.” But unlike pigs, these adult wasps live only about three weeks.

Building the Wasp Hound was a process of trial and error. The first device designed by Mr. Rains required the wasps to head toward the odor source by crawling through an opening equipped with an infrared signal that, when interrupted, would alert researchers that the odor was present. But the system didn’t provide immediate results necessary to track an odor to its exact location. “You could tell well before the wasps actually went in the hole that they’d discovered the odor,” Mr. Rains says.

That prototype was scrapped, and another was designed. This one was equipped with a fan that pulls air into it. If being used in a hotel room, say, it would be aimed at the headboard of the bed, a common spot for bedbugs. A cartridge that contains five wasps is popped into the device. A camera tracks the wasps’ movements, and those images are fed into a software program that measures food-searching behavior — what nonscientists would call swarming. “It tells us, usually within about 20 seconds, if they’ve detected the odor,” Mr. Rains said.

MR. LEWIS says he believes the Wasp Hound could be the first of a series of products that put to use what “nature invented first.” With Mr. Tumlinson and another colleague, T. C .J. Turlings, he published an article in the journal Science in 1990, for example, that showed that when a plant is stressed — a corn seedling, say, being eaten by beet army worms — it actually sends distress signals, emitting odors that attract the natural enemies of the pests. He says he can envision using certain plants as “sentinels” for particular chemicals.

“There’s all kinds of ways that harvesting natural systems could create tools,” he says “We’re just at the tip of the iceberg of potential. An association of industries could develop around it once we make this happen.”

But first, they need the Wasp Hound to pave the way by showing there’s a market. While they hope to eventually use the product for all kinds of detection — from forensics to food safety — they are counting on the furor surrounding bedbugs to encourage people to give their wasps a chance. A market price for the product has not yet been determined.

The short life span of the wasps may be a drawback, but the insects can be produced “in large numbers at pennies per thousand,” Mr. Lewis said. In other words, dogs may be man’s best friend, but wasps are cheaper.

In this episode Jeff will discuss the differences in bed bug treatments when the infestation is in a stand-alone, single family house vs. an apartment vs. a townhouse or condominium. From a treatment perspective, the manner with which a pest control company treats bed bugs shouldnt differ depending on a structure. For the most part, the way a company treats a bed in an apartment shouldnt differ from the way it is treated in a house. Where these treatments start to differ is when you start to consider surrounding unit concerns. In a stand-alone, single family home, surrounding units arent a concern. In an apartment, the property management will need to be involved in order to gain access to the surrounding units to make sure that the known infestation wasnt caused by one of the surrounding apartments. In condominiums, townhouses and row-homes, this process can become more complex due to the fact that the surrounding homes could be owned by different people and different management companies and they may not be interesting in allowing you to inspect their home. If that is the case, and they do have bed bugs, it may be almost impossible to eliminate the bugs in the known infestation if they are originating from a surrounding unit that the pest control company is unable to address.


Bed Bugs is a short film originally shown as part of Channel 4's Coming Up season in 2004(?). Synopsis: Ian come down to London to escape his previous life and responsibilities. In London he meets Max.

Grape planting wouldn’t have been the same without the presence of bug control measures. Such measures are used to keep the grape fruits unfettered by any sort of illnesses and insects.

This art of safeguarding the grape cultivation is widely implemented for little scale as well as gigantic scale production. Being a delightful and sweet fruit, the grape fruit have high probabilities of getting attacked by insects, animals, and sicknesses.

A foundation for growing healthy plants is always providing the correct soil. And let us not forget that raising healthy robust plants will go along way towards minimizing the consequences of pests. Organic insecticides are available for buying. A number of them, like pyrethrum for example, are similarly threatening for humans as they’re for pests.

A mix of 2-3 garlic cloves, 3-4 big chili peppers and two large spoons of some vegetable oil, mixed well in your blender, then strained and added to one litre of water and one spoon of natural soap ( or dishwashing soap ) makes a stronger home made solution for fighting bugs.

When spraying this on your plants, avoid spraying during mid day or in actually hot weather, because that can harm the leaves on your plants by burning them. This shocks away most animal pests in your garden, even mice and moles if you spray near their holes.

The ladybird is extraordinarily efficient, it eats lots of aphids ( and is pretty to look at ). Remember, daylight, daylight and more daylight! Another good tip for grape pest management is to plant your vines parallel to prevailing winds and where there’s a lot of aeration.

Remove any sick leaves from the plant straight away and keep dead leaves off also. Some of the people advocate the snipping off the leaf above and below a growing vine to minimize the advancement of illness. Call around to discover if they use environmentally safe chemicals or other environmentally safe techniques. You also need to keep the area under the plants as clean as practicable.

Keep an eye fixed on plants that are overpowered with insects and illness. You’ve got to cut that part of the plant off and check for any other areas that might be infected. Don’t forget to stay as safe as feasible if you choose to use acute chemical processes.

When covering up with a blanket or getting into bed at the end of the day, unwanted pests like bed bugs may also be accompanying a relaxing evening. When it comes to eliminating bed bugs and other household pests like bed bugs, Alliance Environmental Group employs new technology to get rid of them safely. Alliance Environmental Group introduces ThermaPureHeat, a non toxic pest control method that utilizes heat to kill bed bugs, termites, and other pests like bed bugs.

Household scavengers that thrive in mattresses, pillows, quilts and other textiles, bed bugs seek nutrients found in human skin cells and pet dander. Often found in homes and businesses such as hotels, it is important to treat a bed bugs infestation as quickly as possible. ThermaPureHeat provides an environmentally safe process for killing bed bugs without chemicals.
“Bed bugs are not a new problem but we are seeing an increase in bed bugs in the hotel industry,” says Company Spokesperson Bill Wood. “Ideal for homes and businesses, ThermaPureHeat offers a non toxic, minimally invasive method for killing bed bugs. Our customers not only benefit from an environment free of bed bugs, but indoor air quality is also improved through the implementation of ThermaPureHeat.”
The use of heat to kill pests like bed bugs is more effective and safer than the use of chemical treatments and saves customers time and money. While most chemical treatments require evacuation of a structure, ThermaPureHeat produces results in a matter of hours and buildings are safe to re-enter immediately after treatment. ThermaPureHeat works by raising the core temperature of a structure to 140-160 degrees Fahrenheit with the use of specially designed heaters. This non toxic pest control method can be applied to an entire structure or specific areas depending on the severity of the problem. Safe for people and animals, this method kills pests like bed bugs and improves air quality within a building.

“ThermaPureHeat is ideal for homes, hotels, large residential complexes, offices, and other buildings. Treatment can be completed in a matter of hours and our customers can conduct their lives and business as usual,” explains Wood.
Beyond killing bed bugs, ThermaPureHeat may also be used to rid structures of mold, fungus, odors, and mildew. ThermaPureHeat is a convenient, effective, economical, time-saving solution for the elimination of pests like bed bugs and other harmful environmental elements.

Say Goodbye to Bed Bugs, Nationally Recognized Pest Control Expert Is Leading Efforts to Exterminate Bed Bugs in the New York City Region

The resurgence of bed bugs in the past few years has brought on the need for more comprehensive solutions and new treatments for this problem. The number of bed bug complaints in New York City tripled from 2004 to 2008, going from more than 1,000 to over 7,000. Residences as well as hotels and motels have suffered in the New York City area from the growing problem of bed bugs.

Bed bugs are developing a resistance to the chemicals that have previously been useful in their extermination and control. Stern Environmental Group is at the cutting edge of testing new technology when it comes to bed bug eradication. One of only several firms using Cryonite in the United States, Stern Environmental Group now provides this new poison-free bed bug eradication treatment that uses the freezing power of Carbon Dioxide snow to rapidly freeze bed bugs in all life phases. This new freezing treatment, which has been popular in Australia and Europe, even kills bed bugs eggs which have typically been immune to traditional chemical treatments.

If you need help for your own bed bug problem or want to know what is happening in the fight against bed bugs, turn to pest control expert Douglas Stern, managing partner of the Stern Environmental Group, LLC. Douglas Stern, who has recently been quoted on bed bugs and other pest control topics in several national publications such as the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and Business Week, has been in the pest control business for over 10 years. Distressed home and business owners have turned to him for years for successful pest control and now the media is turning to this regional expert too. Stern Environmental Group services clients in the New York City metropolitan area and is based in New Jersey, but advises media from around the country on bed bug control issues.

In addition to providing residential and hospitality industry service for bed bug extermination using Cryonite as well as providing traditional chemical treatments, Stern also sells special bed bug bite proof mattress covers and box spring encasements. These quality covers allow bed bug sufferers to keep expensive bedding after treatment after they have been treated for bed bugs. These special covers made for the pest control industry and extensively tested in the laboratory to be bed bug bite proof and bed bug escape proof, are available for purchase online in the Stern Environmental bed bug product store.

Clients who have suffered with bed bugs have sent the firm unsolicited comments about their experiences with the Stern Environmental Group extermination staff. Here are just a few comments that have been received by Stern Environmental Group recently on their services:

“The service technician responsibly took the time necessary to ensure total extermination of the bugs almost as if he was working in his own home. The methods and processes utilized by Stern ultimately proved to be outstanding since my infestation is now completely remedied.”
“A bed bug infestation is a very disheartening and horrible ordeal to go through and your staff was very kind to us and sensitive to our dilemma.”

“My bed bug problem was eliminated 100%; I can now sleep throughout the night.”
“After just one visit, I am finally bed bug free!”
For additional information on bed bugs and new extermination and control options contact Douglas Stern for media interviews and for residential and hospitality bed bug extermination services in New York City, the New York City metro area, and New Jersey.
