Question by Oleq G:
Where can I buy live samples of insects like bed bugs and dust mites to test extermination products?
I am looking for small sample populations that could be securly mailed (so no contamination is made to my facilities) or that I could pick-up. I am in northern NJ.

The best way to obtain such samples is through a biological supply dealer. Finding such things may be difficult however since these types of insects are not commonly kept, or used in research. Maybe go down to your local universities and find an entomologist who carries, or knows of someone who carries such specimens. Finding things other that vinegar flies (drosophila) and house crickets (Acheta domestica) may be difficult…..
but good luck!
