As of Oct. 1, 2024, both the “standard” and “deluxe” Aprehend sprayer kits now come standard with a new Trigger-Lock spray gun. The new Trigger-Lock allows the spray gun to be used with a continuous spray when the button is in the locked position, which is especially helpful when using the extension wand kit. The new extension wand kit will no longer require the elastic retention straps to hold down the sprayer trigger button.

Bat bugs are closely associated with their bat hosts. They rarely establish an infestation inside a home by sustaining themselves on human blood. However, they can be problematic during the spring and early summer, when bat pups are present and bat removal is prohibited. Inspect to identify incursion routes and apply a residual insecticide to intercept bat bugs as they enter the home.

Look up! When trying to distinguish between bat bugs and bed bugs without a microscope or hand lens, look up. Bat bugs generally are going to be found in attics and ceiling voids, where they find their way through cracks, crevices and paths created by things such as light fixtures. A quick glance at the glass globe of a ceiling light or examining beds or sofas directly under recessed lights often can provide evidence that the problem you are after is bats (and their bugs), not bed bugs.

The Central European bicolored ant (Lasius emarginatus) has been in the U.S. since at least 2011. But its population in New York City has grown so much in recent years that it is tied for No. 1 pest ant with pavement ants (Tetramorium immigrans). The volume increase has led it to be nicknamed ManhattAnt, with a dedicated website to determine its spread. Another nickname is the New York Ruffi-Ant.

The Turkestan cockroach (Blatta lateralis, pictured above) usually is found outdoors. It often is reared and sold as food for pets, such as lizards, that eat insects. Females may be confused with the oriental cockroach (B. orientalis) but have cream-colored markings along the edges behind the head and around the short, rounded wings. Males may look similar to the American cockroach (Periplaneta americana) but are smaller and have yellowish-beige wings with cream-colored stripes along the edges.

Bed bugs and bat bugs often are misidentified during treatment, so it’s important to understand their differences to determine the necessary treatment protocols. If treating for bed bugs, follow normal bed bug management practices. However, if you identify bat bugs, follow a similar treatment protocol that also includes bat removal and exclusion. Common bed bugs and both the eastern and western bat bug species all belong to the same genus, Cimex.
