Bed bugs can easily be introduced onto aircraft by passengers, luggage, crew, and ground personnel. This chapter focuses on bed bug management on aircraft and reviews the challenges unique to this situation, as well as the protocols required to achieve successful eradication. A four‐phase approach has proven to be the most effective for treating bed bugs on a variety of aircraft. The success of the control measures is determined by re‐inspection of the aircraft for survivors at weekly intervals following the initial treatment. This chapter describes the specific elements of this treatment protocol. Bed bug management techniques focus on detection first, and then eradication. The application of these techniques must fit into the airlines’ flying schedules. Few academic studies have focused on evaluating best practices for bed bug remediation on aircraft. Those methods that have proved successful in aviation have come from research studies conducted in other environments.
