  Jul 21, 20261h 12m

  This week on the Pest Perspectives Podcast, Shaun Muller takes a closer look at ChinChex, a silicon dioxide-based bed bug control product that has been generating plenty of discussion within the UK pest management industry.Joining the conversation are three guests bringing very different perspectives on bed bugs, product development and professional pest management.Sarah Spratt, founder and Director of The Bed Bug Queen Ltd, brings extensive hands-on experience specialising in bed bug inspections and treatments.Francisco Pazos of ChinChex, Director of CHINCHEX UK Ltd, joins the podcast to discuss the product, its development and the thinking behind its use in bed bug management.Also joining the discussion is Dr Richard Naylor, a leading bed bug entomologist and long-standing Trustee and Director of The Bed Bug Foundation, who specialises in bed bug biology and behaviour and was the main author of Version 2 of the European Code of Practice for Bed Bug Management.With ChinChex Silicon Dioxide and Desiccant Spray attracting attention among UK pest professionals, this episode explores the science behind desiccant-based bed bug control, the available efficacy research, how products like ChinChex work, and where they could potentially fit within professional bed bug management strategies.The panel also tackles the questions pest controllers are asking: What does the evidence actually show? How should silicon dioxide products be used? What are their advantages and limitations?
