Eden Advanced Pest Technologies Becomes bedbugFREE

North West Company Gains Membership to bedbugFREE Approved Roster

Lawrenceville, N.J. – September 14, 2009 – Eden Advanced Pest Technologies, based in Olympia, WA, has become the most recent company approved for bedbugFREE membership.

Servicing Oregon and western Washington, Eden’s enrollment represents a growing number of the north-west pest management firms committed to the guidelines and practices of Bed Bug Central, home to the nation’s most comprehensive website devoted to bed bug information and removal methods.

Eden Advanced Pest Technologies is a full service pest management firm centered on providing top-tier service and remaining a leader in environmentally-conscious bed bug treatments. To learn the latest research and management methods for bed bug removal, the company turned to the expert advice of Bed Bug Central and sought membership with the bedbugFREE network.

bedbugFREE is a network of “like-minded companies sharing the philosophies of Bed Bug Central”.  All companies undergo a rigorous screening process overseen by Rick Cooper and research entomologist, Jeff White. Approved companies are listed as a bedbugFREE on Bed Bug Centrals’ website and in turn receive referrals as part of the bedbugFREE network. To date, the approval process and all business leads provided by Bed Bug Central are free of charge.

“I feel that being BedbugFREE adds a significant level of credibility to our bedbug program just as Quality Pro and Green Shield certification ads credibility to our general pest management practices,” said Stan Dawkins Jr., general manager for Eden Advanced Pest Technologies.

As a bedbugFREE company, Eden Pest becomes part of the growing bedbugFREE network of pest management firms approved by Bed Bug Central. Their website is quickly becoming the nation’s number one professional and consumer resource for bed bug information. Created by Phil Cooper, President of Cooper Pest Solutions and Richard Cooper, vice president and Entomologist for bedbugcentral.com, they provide a wealth of resources, information and products for consumers around the country.

“Eden Advanced Pest Technologies has a great respect for Rick and Phil Cooper and their company, Cooper Pest Solutions. Becoming BedbugFREE was something we wanted to do from the time we first heard about Bedbug Central,” said Dawkins Jr.

“It is a great fit for our company's culture of ongoing training and staying on the cutting edge of technology and the service procedures Eden provides.”

Companies seeking to accelerate the bedbugFREE approval process may attend Bed Bug University. Bed Bug University is a four-day course designed to shorten the learning curve of companies that want to increase bed bug revenues and enhance their bed bug business model.

Another primary aim of Bed Bug University is to shorten the time spent on independent research to enable pest management firms to enter the bed bug markets quickly.

The Bed Bug Central’s seminar and website continue to serve as an authority in the bud bug sector with daily submissions to the bedbugFREE network and acknowledgement from industry leaders such as Dr. Austin Frishman, president of AMF Pest Management Services Inc. and industry consultant since 1967.

“Bed Bug University is the best way to learn because Bed Bug Central’s technicians take you out to the field and show you technology and practices,” said Dr. Frishman about Bed Bug University. “Bed Bug Central and Jeff White are the only ones with this program. I recommend that people in pest control go to secure hands-on training. If you have just started dealing with bed bugs as a pest management professional, it’s an invaluable resource.”
