Bed Bug Test Kit Shark Tank
Introduction
In 2013, Bed Bug Test Kit was featured on Season 7 of Shark Tank. The product was invented by Jonathan Miller and Melissa Ligos, a husband and wife team who had an idea to develop a way for people to test their own homes for bed bugs. Ligos has a background in pest control, and she came up with the idea while working as a sales representative at her family’s business. Miller is an engineer by trade and developed the prototype out of his garage. They brought their invention to Shark Tank in hopes that one of the sharks might be interested in investing in their company.

Bed Bug Test Kit was featured on Season 7 of Shark Tank. The product, invented by Jonathan Miller and Melissa Ligos, is a kit that allows you to test for bed bugs in your home.
Bed Bug Test Kit includes a vial of heat-sensitive dye and instructions for use. When you detect an infestation, place the vial into a bowl with warm water and wait five minutes before taking a sample from the area where you believe there are insects present. Once you have obtained the desired amount of liquid from inside each suspected location (for example: between mattress seams or underneath furniture), add it to your dye mixture within one hour of obtaining it.
Jonathan Miller and Melissa Ligos invented Bed Bug Test Kit.
Jonathan Miller and Melissa Ligos invented Bed Bug Test Kit, which was featured on Shark Tank. Jonathan is a serial entrepreneur, who previously founded and sold two companies to General Electric. Melissa has a background in pest control, and the product was invented to help people avoid bed bugs. The retail price of the product is $10.
The Sharks were impressed by Jonathan’s sales skills and his track record for building successful businesses, but they all passed on this opportunity for various reasons—except for Lori Greiner! She offered them $40K for 25% equity if they would agree to manufacture through her QVC line (which sells products via television). Jonathan agreed because he believed that producing their own show would help increase their brand awareness beyond just selling direct-to-consumer via Amazon Prime or Walmart.
Melissa Ligos has a background in pest control.
Melissa Ligos has a background in pest control. She worked for a pest control company for about five years, and she is a certified pest control technician. She also has a degree in biology, and she currently holds two patents for her bed bug test kits (the first one was granted in September 2015; the second one was granted in December 2017).
Bed bugs can be difficult to detect, but Ligos’s tests are designed to give you an accurate answer as quickly as possible. The test involves placing a few drops of your suspected bed bug on top of what looks like an eye dropper full of clear liquid and then waiting about 15 minutes for results that will tell you whether or not there are any live bugs hiding out inside your mattress or box spring.
The sharks were hesitant to invest in a hardware-based product because they didn’t believe it would scale successfully.
The sharks were hesitant to invest in a hardware-based product because they didn’t believe it would scale successfully.
As an entrepreneur, you have to be able to anticipate problems before your product has launched and plan ahead for them. In this case, the company failed to realize that there are many different types of bed bug traps on the market today and that their product would not be able to compete with the others because it was too expensive and complicated.
Conclusion
In the end, none of the sharks were willing to invest in Bed Bug Test Kit despite its low cost. The company’s founders wanted to sell their hardware-based product at big box stores, but they lacked a strategy for sustainable revenue growth. Pest control companies are also increasingly moving away from hardware solutions like this one and toward black light flashlights that help users detect bed bugs more accurately.
