Feeling anxiety about the American presidential election, HBM host Jeff Emtman took a trip to a place he hoped to be insulated from politics: PestWorld 2016, the largest American gathering of pest management professionals. Jeff has always liked bugs and pest animals, so it was a miniature vacation. 

He talked with the following attendees about the tools and the philosophy of pest management:

Rose Eckhart of ZappBugg bed bug heaters 

Carlita Turk of TAP Pest Control Insulation

David Walters of HY-C Home Solutions

Evan Bruce of Heat Assault glycol bed bug products

Roger Johnson and Evan Church of Pest Routes

Sheree Swindle of Bed Bug Mutts with Lily Loo

Bill Robinson of B&G Curtis Dyna-Fog sprayers and foggers

Alan Huot of Wildlife Control Supplies outfitter for wildlife professionals

Jeff Emtman produced this episode with help from Bethany Denton and Nick White.
