Bed bugs are obligate blood feeders on humans. In recent years, bed bug infestations have increased dramatically in many countries including Canada and USA, leading to a renewed interest in designing better management tools and control options. According to Health Canada they can now be found everywhere from homeless shelters to five-star hotels, and even on public transportation. Given that bed bugs are among the most difficult pests to eradicate due to their small size, demonstrated resistance to conventional insecticides and their ease of transport, the key objective of the proposed research is to facilitate the development of products for management of bed bugs, a re-emerged public health pest, based on i. semiochemicals - non-toxic behaviour-modifying substances, and ii. natural products such as diatomaceous earth (DE) and botanical insecticides. The overall goals of this proposal are to develop an indoor pest management system against the common bed bug, Cimex lectularius based on: a. behavior-modifying synthetic pheromone analogs as repellents for personal protection and attractants for trapping and monitoring; b. synergistic effects of binary mixtures of repellents or attractants; c. enhanced DE for lethal effects against bed bugs; d. mixtures of DE and attractants = "attract and kill" strategy; e. mixtures of DE and pea extract/pea protein or other natural materials to increase the efficacy of DE. There are few non-toxic management tools available to mitigate bed bugs. Development of such tools would not only be beneficial to two young Vancouver companies (SemioBIO Technologies, DE Laboratories), but of potential socio-economic value globally as resurgence of this pest has occurred worldwide.

臭虫是对人类的强制喂食者。近年来，在包括加拿大和美国在内的许多国家，臭虫的侵扰已大大增加，从而引起了人们对设计更好的管理工具和控制选择的重新兴趣。根据加拿大卫生部的说法，他们现在可以在无家可归的庇护所到五星级酒店，甚至在公共交通工具上都能找到。鉴于臭虫是由于小尺寸而消除的最困难的害虫之一，表现出对常规杀虫剂的抵抗力及其运输易于性，因此拟议研究的关键目标是促进用于管理臭虫的产品，这是基于i的重新出现的公共卫生虫害。半化学物质 - 无毒行为修改物质，ii。天然产物，例如硅藻土（DE）和植物杀虫剂。 该提案的总体目标是针对共同的臭虫cimex lectularius开发一个室内害虫管理系统： 将合成信息素类似物作为个人保护的驱虫剂的行为修改和捕获和监测的吸引力； b。驱虫剂或吸引剂的二元混合物的协同作用； c。增强了针对臭虫的致命作用的DE； d。 DE和吸引剂的混合物=“吸引和杀死”策略； e。 DE和豌豆提取物/豌豆蛋白或其他天然材料的混合物增加了DE的功效。 很少有无毒的管理工具可用于减轻臭虫。这样的工具的开发不仅对两家年轻的温哥华公司（Semiobio Technologies，de Laboratories）有益，而且全球潜在的社会经济价值是在全球范围内发生的。
