E94 - Bug Hero: Dr Nina Jenkins (BED BUGS)
Published: January 13, 2026
Duration: 1:15:12
This episode we are joined by Dr Nina Jenkins of ConidioTec to talk bed bugs and how a fungal treatment called Apprehend she developed can be used to control them. We discuss how a biocontrol agent for aphids, whiteflies, and thrips went through the shark tank and regulatory agencies to your bedroom. Tangents include tarantula people, vampire entomology, and Jurassic Park (always!)
Bug discussion begins around 4:50
