It provides pest controllers with a highly effective, long-lasting and environmentally friendly attractant to improve detection and monitoring of bed bugs before an infestation becomes established.
The BugScents™ solutions were developed during a decade of research by scientific experts at the world-renowned London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and Arctech Innovation, co-founded by Professor James Logan.
LNPS previously used various methods for monitoring, including cardboard corrugated traps and standard sticky monitors. However, when trialling BugScents™ Sentry Pro, the team found it far superior. Within 48 hours of installation, the device captured bed bugs that were missed by visual inspections and other monitors. In a trial within a sheltered accommodation block, Sentry Pro detected three live bed bugs after other methods had failed to find any. Without the Sentry Pro, the team would have given that area a clear visit but the device revealed there was still activity.
The device has also proved invaluable for post-treatment monitoring allowing the team to monitor specific areas and rule out potential problem spots. It has also helped in effectively monitoring communal areas as well. This has been crucial in preventing reinfestations.
BugScents™ Sentry Pro has now become a pivotal tool for London Network for Pest Solutions, offering the team an effective, science-based solution for tackling bed bug infestations. For pest control professionals across the UK, it represents a significant advancement in bed bug detection technology.
