A Bed Bug Education: Long Island’s Best Weapon against Infestation

Suburban Exterminating, Long Island’s bed bug experts, have been battling bedbugs for years.  Bed bugs have become a national epidemic and scare millions of people.  Two of Suburban’s own entomologists continue to educate Long Islanders about bed bugs.  Bed Bug Informational sessions are scheduled in January at the Sayville and Bayport-Blue Point libraries. Long Islanders can ask questions, learn to correctly identify bed bugs and hear about the proven methods of extermination.

Two of Suburban Exterminating’s certified entomologists, Lynn Frank and Bob Wiemer, will be speaking about bedbugs at The Sayville Library and the Bayport Library in January. Frank and Wiemer are both certified entomologists and members of Pi Chi Omega, the professional fraternity for pest control. Frank possesses a Vector Borne Disease Control Certificate from the Center for Disease Control; he is a certified indoor environmental consultant and a level III certified thermographer from the Infraspection Institute. He is also Green Shield Certified. Wiemer is a member of the Entomological Society of America. He is also trained and certified for the Sentricon Termite System and Structural Fumigation. Both men have been presenters at Suburban Exterminating’s children’s library program “Future Scientists: Learn What It Takes to Become an Entomologist”.

Be proactive in your bed bug protection, but be informed, as well.  There are many pesticides you can buy to get rid of bed bugs, but there are also many dangers in self-application.  There is also no standardization in these pesticides, and the claims of the product do not have to be proven.

By offering correct information, answering questions in full detail, and calming the fears of the public on the spreading bed bug problem, Suburban Exterminating creates an educated consumer.  If you are interested in attending these information sessions, register at the library or call Bob Wiemer at (631) 864-6900.
