Our Booth
Just a few shots of what our booth looks like at the shows.
Utah Valley Spring Home and Garden Show
We’re doing another show! We are going to be at the Utah Valley Spring Home and Garden Show this week March 19th and 20th at Utah Valley University’s McKay Events Center. Once again we will be having a great time showing everyone some of our insects, demonstrating how Radar works and most importantly we will be offering a DEEP discount for an inside/oustisde barricade to those who schedule their appointment at the show! We’d love to see you there.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Don’t forget to wear green.
Eating Crickets!
At our booth at the trade shows we have Chocolate ‘Chirp’ Cookies. Our office manager Sue grinds up cooked crickets and puts them in the batter of chocolate chip cookies. We also put a cricket ‘garnish’ on top
They are perfectly edible and according to everyone who ate them you couldn’t even tell they were there. Here were a few of the brave. (Sue made about 100 cookies total.) By the end of the show we had run out of cookies and quite a few people in these pictures just at the cooked crickets by themselves!
Salt Lake’s Spring Home and Garden Expo
Be sure to stop by and see us at Salt Lake Tribune’s Spring Home and Garden Expo at the South Towne Expo Center this week March 11-14. It is always a lot of fun for us to participate in these shows. We love meeting and talking to everyone, exhibiting some of our insects, demonstrating how Radar works and even giving out some of our famous Chocolate ‘Chirp’ Cookies and most importantly we will be offering $20 off an inside/oustisde barricade to those who schedule their appointment at the show!
We’ll keep you updated with how the show goes and even post some pictures of some of you there!

Bed Bug University
We are hosting Bed Bug University at the University of Utah next Wednesday January the 27th at 9 am. We will be discussing bed bug biology, how they spread, how to detect, treatment options, latest research findings, and everything else that has to do with bed bugs. This will be an in depth look at bed bugs and not just things you can read on the internet. This seminar will be geared towards the hotel and hospital industry but anyone is welcome to come. The admittance fee is just $5. Please give us a call for more information.
PS- Radar, our bed bug detection canine will be in attendance.
