I know ashbys are doing these type of courses,but they are based in Kent (500 mile round trip)

Does anybody know if there are courses run a little nearer to me.Leeds based.

There's big money in mattresses especially with such a poor interest rates.

Lol   

[chrisjohn]

Very witty,but back to the original question please.

Chris

[Ian Gourlay]

I think the answer is No

But perhaps some enterprising person could do the course in Kent and then Run a similar one up North

[chrisjohn]

Ian

Hopefully

Chris

[wynne jones]

Sorry Chris. 

If it was the same flyer I got from Derek, I got the impression they had teamed up with some sort of Franchise. In which case I would have thought they would have some sort of representation up north. I noticed they hinted at some new revolutionary product in the same sentence as 'bed bugs'

[Ian Gourlay]

I got it but felt it was just a product from one of their suppliers which anyone could buy.

I would be upset if I went and then found it was big Sales Pitch and I had to pay for Licence etc.

I remember about 10 years ago John Bolton did a very good Article on how to Clean a Mattress on Clean talk

This was before Ultrasonic Lights Bed Bugs Alerg Stop and John Did not use Pro mite etc.

You have a point but most carpets are just dirty with a small percentage with these problems. On mattresses though you can bet a high proportion have these issues, that's their reason for calling you out.

[Ian Gourlay]

Some Mattress can be very expensive

I think it is an add on

 My concern would always be can it be dried in time for Bed Time

[robert meldrum]

Dont think it's ever been mentioned but I think the best way to get rid of bugs and odours from mattresses would be to leave them in a freezer / cold store over night.............only problem is finding one .

Could be a reason why its never been mentioned 

If you found a store ... what owner in his right mind would let you put a bug ridden smelly mattress in it

Think you could be right there Robert. I was in Alaska a few years ago and I never saw any bed bugs.

[Russ Chadd]

What is the proven method of killing beg bugs? is it chemicals? heat? ultra violet light?

[robert meldrum]

Finding them is the problem.........

Just had a Dragon's Den moment .................it can't be that difficult to have a large thermal bag made which could house a mattress and by introducing frozen gas create a suitable death chamber for  bugs.

There you go and I'll have 10% of all sales for the next 10 years
