In this Alexandria, Ohio case study, Home Guard IPM performs a technical diagnostic audit to distinguish between the Common Bed Bug (Cimex lectularius) and the Bat Bug (Cimex adjunctus) following a dead bat discovery. Finding nymphs in a second-floor couch confirmed a successful human-hosted Bed Bug colony. By implementing the 3.S Protection Strategy and a zero-prep Aprehend treatment, we established a 90-day bio-active shield to eliminate the structural load and restore the
