Bed Bugs 101 - Introduction

Bed Bugs 101 is your premier online resource for bed bug information.  Bed Bugs 101 was created by Richard Cooper, who is regarded as one of the industry's top experts on bed bugs and co author of the most comprehensive text on bed bugs, Bed Bug Handbook – The Complete Guide to Bed Bugs and Their Control.  Bed Bugs 101 was created as an educational tool to help share our knowledge and important research findings with the public. Our goal is to educate the consumer and to increase public awareness regarding this poorly understood pest.
