KNOCKOUT – Round One

August 16, 2010

Okay, this is the very first Katz on Pests blog. My Advertising Agency said that there were people just as interested in Pest Control as I was and that a blog like this could be helpful, so I agreed to take a crack at it and hope it helps people deal with their pest problems.
The hottest topic in the Pest Control world these days are BED BUGS.  From the EPA, (Environmental Protection Agency), to a variety of Public Health Departments, (including Nassau County and NYC), bed bugs are having a newfound resurgence in the US and in the NY Metro area. As Pest Control Professionals, we find ourselves on the front lines of dealing with this rise in bed bug infestations, which not only entails treating for bed bugs, but determining the location of them in a home or office and educating the public about bed bugs. 
Having bed bugs has nothing to do with cleanliness or proper hygiene and everything to do with travel. People traveling on vacation, staying in hotel rooms or even visiting friends are the bed bugs mode of transportation.  Bed bugs love to hitch a ride on clothing, in purses/handbags, and in luggage. And bed bugs aren’t confined to beds.  Bed bugs find sofas and cozy arm chairs just as comfy.
The key is to identify a bed bug problem and call a professional right away. Why a professional? Only a Pest Control Professional has the detection tools and the arsenal of pest products as well as the knowledge to deal with bed bugs. If YOU use some insect spray you can drive the bed bugs into other areas that will make them more difficult to find and treat. Spraying also makes K9 Bed Bug finding dogs useless in locating exactly where the bed bugs hide. And Pest Control Professional will use safe Bed Bug exterminating methods. Safe to use on beds where you and your entire family sleep…including your pets.
At Knockout Pest Control we’re revolutionizing Bed Bug elimination technology by using a CRYONITE treatment system. No poisons. No sticky traps.  No attractant machines.  Just a blast of FREEZING CO2 that reaches every nook and cranny killing Bed Bugs instantly wherever they’re hiding. Bed frames, mattresses, cushions, draws, closets, behind furniture, in baseboard cracks, electrical outlets, and even electronic devises – like clock radios and computers, (when unplugged).
If you live in an apartment and YOU have bed bugs, chances are your neighbors have them too. They may have sprayed themselves and that’s why YOU have ‘em. So if you have them tell your neighbors and landlord so the entire Bed Bug problem can be eliminated and the problem doesn’t simply move from apartment to apartment.
Call a Professional Pest Control company, hopefully Knockout Pest Control.  We have years of experience and the latest Bed Bug elimination systems…including the cutest little Beagle with a nose for Bed Bugs.
I hope you found this blog helpful. Tell me what you think.
Until next week, sleep tight and don’t let the bed bugs bite.

Do you also sell the mattress & pillow bags and other bed bug prevention products?  My daughter is off to college and I want her to feel safe from bed bugs that other kids may bring in with them.  Bed Bugs problems are big in dorms, right?  What suggestions do you have?
