The social housing union is a confederation which gathers all the French providers of social housing. This represents about 730 different organizations that manage a total of 4.5 million housing units (flats and houses). This sector, like many others, is confronted with problems due to bed bug infestations of their buildings. The union organized its annual national congress in Marseille this year, on the 9th, 10th, and 11th of October. The conference brought together around 22,000 people over 3 days including 10,000 social housing professionals. The congress was also covered by about 90 journalists. Following our nationwide advertisement campaign, we were invited to the convention to present the breaking bugs project as an innovative solution to bed bugs infestations. Providing a treatment, that can directly impact the inhabitants.
