				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.

				Very witty,but back to the original question please.
Chris
			 
			
			- 
				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

				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'
			 
			
			- 
				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.

				530 mile trip Chris, done it twice.
Near enough 5 hours both times.
Agree with you, let's have mattress

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.
			 
			
			- 
				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

				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  ;D ;D ;D 
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.
			 
			
			- 
				What is the proven method of killing beg bugs? is it chemicals? heat? ultra violet light?
			
 
			
			- 
				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
   
			 
			
			- 
				Except of course the bugs don't all live in the mattress
			
 
			
			- 
				True................... so you ozone the room or maybe co2 it while freezing the mattress :-\ :-\ :-\ 
			
 
			
			- 
				I know freezing temps are good for dust mites, but a programme I saw on bed bugs they were using heat. Obviously this was a major major operation as many items had to be removed from the house and the occupants put up for the duration.
I don't think anyone's come up with a simple fix yet otherwise we would have heard about it. A bit like documentaries about whether aliens exist.
