Decontamination company finds success with bedbugs
Larry Smith originally went into the decontamination business in 2008 to prevent odors and virus outbreaks from plaguing businesses and residences.. It was found that approximately 75% people went to buy wholesale replica sunglasses ray ban or wholesale rhinestone sunglasses. But his Bloomfield Hills-based BioGreen Solutions took off recently when he invested in an environmentally friendly technology for zapping bedbugs, the small insects that feed on human blood and have re-emerged as a public scourge.

We have many fashionable sexy lingerie have style of bunny costume. He anticipates $1.5 million in sales next year, more than seven times the $200,000 he generated in 2009.
BioGreen's niche is to eradicate the pests without destroying furnishings or endangering people -- something that could happen with a more traditional pest control company that chemically treats an infested space.
"We became the eco-friendly killers," Smith said.
Bedbugs have become a growing problem after having been practically killed off around the country in the 1940s by pesticide sprayings. They re-emerged in the late 1990s and have grown to the point that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency last year held a two-day bedbug summit.
"Bedbugs -- Cimex lecturlarius--are a psychological terror," Smith said. "The very notion of bugs feeding on you at night, in your bed, is repulsive."
BioGreen's approach is to use a dry-heat process to get the waxy coating off the bodies of bedbugs.
"At 115 degrees Fahrenheit, it dehydrates the bugs and their eggs," said Smith, who took graduate courses from Columbia University in genetics and has worked in advertising and marketing.
Thermal bug zapping, conducted by a trained operator with skilled site preparation, custom-built heaters and temperature probes for uniform distribution of the heat, could be very effective, said Howard Russell, an entomologist at Michigan State University. Part of the reason bedbugs have spread so far and so fast is their increasing resilience to synthetic pyrethroids, the pest control substance most commonly used to try to eradicate them,.

BioGreen charges almost double the pest control price of $500 to $900 a hotel room because an operator spends hours on the job. The company argues the cost is worthwhile because one treatment usually eliminates the bedbug threat without having to pitch mattresses, drapes and couches that were infested.
