Teach Us Tuesday: Bed Bug Awareness Week

Let’s talk bed bugs.
They don’t care if a space is spotless or messy.
They don’t discriminate.
And they’re excellent hitchhikers.
The biggest challenge?
Many infestations go unnoticed longer than people realize.
So we’re curious—
What’s the biggest misconception people have about bed bugs?
👇 “Only dirty places get them”
👇 “You can see them easily”
👇 “They spread disease”
👇 “They only happen in hotels”
👇 Other (tell us!)

Education matters when it comes to prevention, identification, and early action.

Pests Follow Conditions, Not Calendars
Warm weather doesn’t automatically mean pest problems—it means conditions are changing.
As temperatures rise, moisture, food availability, and breeding conditions shift too.
Monitoring seasonal transitions helps identify:
• emerging activity
• new pressure points
• changing behavior patterns
Because pests respond to environments—not dates on a calendar.

Teach Us Tuesday: Placement Isn’t Guesswork
Effective monitoring doesn’t happen by accident.
Placement decisions should be based on:
• pest behavior
• structural features
• environmental conditions
• known activity zones
A well-placed monitor can tell you everything you need to know.
A poorly placed one can tell you nothing at all.
The difference isn’t the tool—it’s how it’s used.

Teach Us Tuesday: Webster’s Fun Fact
Webster here!
Did you know many pests follow the same paths over and over again?
Rodents use established runways.
Flying insects follow light and airflow patterns.
Even crawling insects stick close to edges and surfaces.
It’s not random—it’s behavioral.
That’s why consistent monitoring in the right locations matters so much.

The conversation around glue trap use is changing—and so is the need for clear professional standards.
The new Responsible Glue Trap User (RGTU) Certification was developed to help pest management professionals approach glue trap use with greater consistency, accountability, and defensible decision-making.
In our latest blog, we take a deeper look at:
• Why this certification was developed
• The growing legislative landscape surrounding glue traps
• How IPM principles, documentation, and ethical decision-making all play a role in responsible use
• Why industry-led standards matter now more than ever

Why the RGTU Certification Matters for the Future of Pest Management. As conversations

Teach Us Tuesday: Where Do You Learn the Most From Monitoring?
Monitoring data can tell very different stories depending on where it’s collected.
Where do you get the most valuable insight?
👇 Near entry points
👇 Along walls and edges
👇 Around equipment
👇 Storage areas
👇 Other (tell us!)
Placement matters—and sometimes the smallest shift makes the biggest difference.

Teach Us Tuesday: Monitoring Isn’t a Moment—It’s a Pattern
A single pest sighting tells you something.
But consistent monitoring tells you a story.
In IPM and APM, it’s not just about detecting presence—it’s about understanding patterns over time.
Where activity is increasing.
Where it’s stable.
Where it’s declining.
This is how pest management shifts from reactive to predictive.
Because the real value isn’t in one capture—it’s in what repeated captures reveal.
