DNA Testing Now Available to Verify Bed Bugs.

Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) have become a big concern for homeowners and hotel travelers. The increasing activities of bed bugs are related in part to the changes in pesticide usage and global travel. A rapid qPCR method for detecting bed bugs has been developed. We were able to find the presence of bed bugs by analyzing samples from bedroom dust around beds, and mattresses.

Bed bug droppings may appear as small specks like ground pepper, as well as blood drops left behind after feedings. If you find a suspect bug (dead or alive), place it a zip lock plastic bag, and note on the bag the location that it was found. e.g. master bedroom, kitchen. If you find a bug, you can mail it to us for sampling by a certified lab, and or we can also conduct the PCR dust collection method described above.
