I am a layperson in that field. I am sure Clive would have insights into this if this were about malaria control as he has written books on the subject, and he might say that the sought paradigm is a variation within the context of IPM. As for bed bugs, there is a paradigm and it has practictioners like Richard Cooper, David Cain, Clive Boase, Dini Miller, Potter and Kells and even me - each in their own particular focus on bed bugs, and you too as I have said, because your facilitation for disseminating and sharing information does forward that paradigm.. And I don't want to exclude Marc Lame who is a very strong champion for IPM in Schools. The paradigm is called IPM Renee.. I have no doubt of this whatsoever. It is a way of thinking about solving pest problems smart and safe with the prospect of sustainability through prevention. . You know the definition well.... It threads through NewYorkvsBedBugs at every place and with every insight and outreach and bit of knowledge. You are to be commended for that.......... even if you still don't quite "get it". I know you will. I have faith..... There is a search for a new paradigm for mosquito control, and I know that it is very tough. I am a layperson in that field.

T his is a major world tragedy due to the millions deaths especially of small children and the ability of the parasite to resist drugs. Some have attacked the banning of DDT and blamed this on the deaths, but as said before, mosquitoes acquired resistance to DDT a long time ago. When West Nile Virus arrived on the scene, there was a major program in Toronto to bait catch basins in order to kill the mosquito larvae. There was a fear of deaths of vulnerable individuals due to the virus. They still do monitor dead birds to see if the cause was WNV. Haven't heard much on it of late . But the presentation does give wonderful insight in the importance and difficulty of getting new products and new paradigms of control. I think currently for bed bugs, the paradigm is "early discovery , early treatment = better prospect of control" in addition to the marshalling of stakeholders s good IPM . There was a nifty documentary about controlling tsetse flies in africa using a magic attractant called "cow in a bottle"..... not surei if we can find that one on the net, but i used to have a copy of it.. Truly wonderful work.
