00:00 When you have bed bug infestations in multiple sectors of the society, say
00:04 people's homes, movie theaters, transit systems, as well as the hospitality
00:09 industry, you not only have to control bed bugs at one location but at multiple
00:14 locations where they are present. Bed bugs move from point A to point B by
00:20 hitchhiking on people's belongings. So say suppose a person is going to
00:25 eradicate bed bugs in their home but if they are using the public transit
00:29 system for daily commute, then there is a high likelihood that they may pick up
00:34 some bed bugs while traveling and if they are going to bring them back home
00:38 that may lead to a new infestation. With Paris, where millions of people use the
00:44 public transit system on a daily basis, there is a high likelihood that people
00:49 may move the bed bugs by moving from one place to another. So when the government
00:55 authorities as well as the pest control agencies are solving or targeting this
00:59 problem, they may have to use a very comprehensive approach along with public
01:04 support to completely eradicate this problem. The pest control professionals
01:10 not only have to rely on pesticides but they may also have to use some
01:14 alternative control measures like heat treatments, steam treatments, trapping bed
01:19 bugs as well as mattress encasements.
