Research Entomologist & Scientific Director
One of America's most respected bed bug researchers. Host of Bed Bug Central TV. Co-developer of the industry-standard low-prep treatment protocol. And the scientific mind behind every treatment in our NY, NJ, and PA territory.
Jeff White has spent his career at the intersection of entomology research and practical pest management. As a research entomologist, he has studied the biology, behavior, and chemical resistance patterns of Cimex lectularius — the common bed bug — more deeply than almost anyone in the field.
Jeff is perhaps best known as the host and co-founder of Bed Bug Central TV (BBCTV), an online media platform dedicated to bed bug education for both consumers and pest management professionals. Through hundreds of episodes, Jeff has translated complex entomological research into practical guidance that changed how the industry approaches treatment.
His television and media appearances span some of the most-watched programming in America. He appeared on ABC's The View to educate a national morning audience about the bed bug resurgence. He was featured on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams during peak national coverage of the bed bug crisis. Animal Planet's Infested! and National Geographic'sInvaders each showcased Jeff's expertise in the context of real infestations.
Critically, Jeff White is a co-developer of the industry-standard low-preparation bed bug treatment protocol — a methodology that dramatically reduces the burden on tenants and property occupants while maintaining (or improving) treatment effectiveness. This protocol is now used by pest control professionals across the country.

Bed Bug Central TV (BBCTV) is an online media platform and video library dedicated entirely to bed bug education. Founded and hosted by Jeff White, BBCTV produces regular video content covering identification, inspection techniques, treatment methodologies, research findings, and regulatory updates — for both consumers and pest management professionals.
BBCTV has become the definitive resource for bed bug information in the pest control industry. If you've ever searched for bed bug guidance online and found a knowledgeable, research-cited answer, there's a good chance it traces back to Jeff White or BBCTV.
Jeff White's involvement with The Bed Bug Inspectors means our NY/NJ/PA customers benefit directly from the same expertise that informs the entire industry — not just generic “pest control best practices,” but the actual cutting-edge research.
One of Jeff White's most impactful contributions to the bed bug field is the co-development of the low-preparation treatment protocol. Traditional bed bug treatments required extensive and burdensome preparation by occupants — emptying closets, bagging belongings, washing all linens — creating enormous stress, especially for elderly residents, those with disabilities, or families with young children.
Research revealed that excessive preparation can actually reduce treatment effectiveness by dispersing bed bugs throughout a unit. The low-prep protocol was designed based on this evidence: targeted preparation where it matters, minimal disruption everywhere else.
In our NY/NJ/PA territory, every treatment follows this research-backed approach. Your technician will tell you exactly what to do — and what you don't need to do — to maximize results.
Jeff White's direct involvement with The Bed Bug Inspectors is limited to our New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania service territories. This is where his direct scientific oversight, protocol review, and quality standards apply.
When we connect customers in other states with independent licensed professionals in our national referral network, those operators are not affiliated with, trained by, or endorsed by Jeff White. They are independent businesses selected for their licensure and professionalism.
