Dr. Richard Naylor's Bed Bug Research and Insights Dr. Richard Naylor, associated with Cimex Store and The Bed Bug Foundation CIC, has been studying bed bugs for over 20 years. Together with his wife Alexia and their team near Chepstow, they run a research and development lab focused on bed bugs.

  Understanding Why Rodents Seek Shelter Indoors As the chill of winter sets in, many creatures seek refuge from the harshening outdoor conditions.
