Event Description
Bed bugs can infest a wide range of environments—from homes and hotels to public facilities—creating unique challenges for prevention and control. In this webinar, Dr. Aaron Ashbrook, Assistant Professor of Urban/Peri-Urban Entomology at Louisiana State University, will examine how bed bugs are introduced and persist in different settings, and how their biology influences their survival and spread. Participants will also learn practical strategies to protect themselves during inspections, recognize key signs of infestation, and apply leading practices for early detection and response. The discussion will also explore common misconceptions about bed bug behavior and control, helping participants distinguish between effective and ineffective management approaches. Attendees will come away with actionable insights to improve monitoring protocols, reduce the risk of spread, and enhance overall program effectiveness.
