TAKE PART: CEPA bed bug survey

SURVEY

The European pest association, CEPA, has prepared a survey to assess the bed bug situation across Europe today, as experienced by our industry. 

Cepabedbugsurvey

In 2023, considerable media attention was given to apparent increases in bed bug infestations in Europe (notably in Paris, France). However, the experience of professional companies managing infestations did not always confirm these claims.

The questions are directed at managers/supervisors with a good overview of their company’s experience dealing with bed bug infestations.

You can access the survey here: surveyhero.com/c/ec9tb4sn

You can choose your language to complete the survey.

Please take 15 minutes to answer the questions.
