On February 19-20, 2025, we participated in the “Pest Risk Management: Bed Bugs” training course led by Jean-Michel Bérenger at INELP (National Institute for the Study and Control of Bed Bugs) in Toulouse. This training strengthened our expertise in the prevention, detection, and control of bed bugs, a growing scourge affecting many sectors, including hospitality, collective housing, and transportation.
Training objectives: Mastering bed bug control
Effectively combating bed bugs requires an in-depth understanding of these pests and the most effective techniques for their eradication. The training aimed to:
✅ Identify bed bugs and distinguish them from other insects
✅ Understand their biology, behavior, and modes of propagation
✅ Learn about existing control methods, from chemical treatments to natural solutions
✅ Implement an integrated pest management strategy adapted to different infestation levels
Skills assessed and enhanced
At the end of the training, we were able to deepen our knowledge in:
✔️ Recognizing bed bugs and analyzing their environmental impact
✔️ Assessing the degree of infestation and identifying signs of presence
✔️ Implementing appropriate control techniques based on the diagnosis
✔️ Mastering existing solutions and treatments for sustainable eradication
INELP: A leading institute in bed bug control
INELP is an independent organization founded by bed bug experts who have combined their knowledge to offer high-level training programs. It supports professionals in identifying infestations and applying proven protocols for effective and lasting control of these pests.
An enriching and hands-on training
Beyond theoretical knowledge on bed bug biology, detection methods, and existing treatments, this training was enriched with numerous practical cases and real-world feedback. Jean-Michel Bérenger, with his expertise and field anecdotes, provided invaluable insights to participants, including 3D technicians, association representatives, and canine detection experts from ECO-FLAIR.
We extend our sincere thanks to:
🛑 Jean-Michel Bérenger, medical entomologist at IHU Méditerranée Infection, director of the Insect Diagnostic Laboratory, and a recognized expert in bed bug research and control for over 12 years
🛑 Marie Effroy, director of ECO-FLAIR and president of INELP, for her warm welcome at the ECO-FLAIR premises and the canine detection demonstrations
A must-have training for professionals and specialized laboratories
We highly recommend this training for:
