"Who is Denise Donovan??? Where do I begin...? I remember well the trip to Texas from California when she was first a victim of Bed Bugs. Not to say she is vengeful, but her discovery firsthand of the lack of information, resources and just plain answers to questions about those nasty little Buggers sparked her on to become an Internationally recognized expert on the subject. She not only went on to form the original Southern California Bed Bug Task Force, but now she heads the International Bed Bug Resource Authority which is affiliated and recognized by the USEPA and several State & County governments across the USA. I sleep much better when traveling knowing that someone like Denise is rallying the powers that be to inform the Public about a scourge that as recent as 30 years ago had been eliminated in American society. She knows her stuff and she clearly has the vision to champion the fight against Bed Bugs." Rich Olquin, CFRE, Chief Executive Officer - CEO, Praetorian USA
