In this podcast, David Cain of Bed Bugs Limited (UK) talks to us about the bed bug technologies presented at Pestex 2009, notably the new bbalert passive and active monitors and a new cryo tool for bed bug control. There’s also an intriguing new oxygen depletion tool we talk about briefly… David also offers thoughts on the Bed Bug Update presented at Pestex by the Greater London Pest Liaison Group and wades into the politics of the bed bug world on his side of the street. (This is all I know about the best practice guides so far and I’m still looking forward to reading the documents.)
This conversation is 54 minutes; you can also listen to it on itunes.

Wonderfully candid. Renee, I thank both you and David for engaging in this conversation and for making it available to the public. I have so much more to say, but I’m saving that (and all my notes) for a post of my own.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
P.S. Anyone want to guess why David said he would have loved to have come to Washington, but would have hated being in Washington? My wheels are turning, because David’s statement was made in the context of a discussion about sharing information and communicating. Interesting, no?

I think it’s just because it’s not a leather trousers kind of town, no!?
Thanks, Jessica. Here’s an outtake clip just for you (the call was long as usual so I cut a few things to keep it under an hour).
Hi Jessica,
I would not have wanted to be at Washington for the summit because after 7 years of working in this area I am ready to sit down and pass a lot of information out in one sitting.
I think I could have taken up 6 or 8 hours of presentation and discussion time with one presentation.
Yes its essential to get everyone together and discuss the issue from the foundation up but I laid my foundation over 5 years ago and started working on the rest of the building.
That and the fact that last time I flew into Washington airport they put me in a small room and insisted I left again on the next available flight. I now have a 10 year visa that allows me to visit the US un-hindered but trust me deportation on arrival not not very welcoming.
I hope that clarrifies.
David
