In total, the eight companies were able to help 13 candidates over the month of December. The eight companies are A-Alert Exterminating of Illinois, Bizzy Bees Pest Control of Texas, Cooper Pest Solutions of New Jersey, Gold Seal Pest Management of Indiana, Hassman Termite Pest Control of Kansas, McDonald Pest Control of Florida, Parkway Exterminating Co. Inc of New York, Top Level Pest Control Inc of New York.

Jeffrey White is the technical director of BedBug Central and the visionary behind “Taking the Bite Out of the Holidays.” White acknowledges that the goal of this program is to provide relief and comfort over the holidays.

“Bed bugs can be very expensive to eliminate,” said White. “This holiday season we wanted to give back to the community and provide some relief to those in need so that they can use their money to create a happier holiday without the frustration of dealing with bed bugs.”
