The Indiana Pest Management Association (IPMA), along with BASF, Univar Solutions and Target Specialty Products, sponsored a one-day bed bug seminar at the Hilton Garden Inn in Edinburgh, Ind.

More than 115 attendees from Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Kentucky learned tips on the latest and most effective bed bug tools, equipment and control methods at the Jan. 29 event. Attendees also learned inspection techniques, how to figure costs and the most effective ways to communicate bed bug information. As a bonus, all attendees received a copy of The Bed Bug Combat Manual by Paul Bello, PJB Pest Management Consulting.

Bello also presented at the seminar, drawing from more than 40 years of experience in the pest control industry as a business owner and educator. He provides consulting services in the urban and industrial pest management markets for such clients as manufacturers, hospitality, health care, cruise ships, museums, warehouses and schools.
