What's Bugging You? Tiny Invaders Fleas, Ticks, and Bed Bugs

In this episode of "What's Bugging You," pest control expert Alan Foyer, shared insights on dealing with common pests like fleas, ticks, and bed bugs. Foyer explained that while fleas are less common in New Mexico due to the state's dry climate, they can still thrive in humid conditions created by rodents. He also discussed how ticks, which are resilient to dry conditions, are a growing concern, especially in rural areas where wildlife is prevalent. However, the most significant issue is bed bugs. Once nearly eradicated, they have resurged in the U.S. due to increased global travel and trade. Foyer emphasized that controlling these pests requires proper identification, professional intervention, and a multi-step approach. He highlighted the role of new biological treatments, like fungal spores, in controlling bed bugs, alongside traditional methods like heat and vacuuming.
