Why Report a Bed Bug Infestation?
Bedbugs are prolific creatures! Bed bug females can lay up to 5 eggs each day, and up to 500 in a lifetime. Bed bugs must feed on blood in order to complete the breeding process, this makes humans a prime source of food for bedbugs. Don’t delay. Report a bed bug infestation in your neighborhood as soon as you become aware of it, and protect your family and friends!
Win the Battle Against Bed Bugs
We all have to play a role if we are going to win the battle against bed bugs. Reporting assists the city with gathering statistics. They can then make comparisons to other cities and previous years and months. It can support cities in making certain monetary decisions regarding aid for bed bug infested areas and public housing and budget allocation.
Get Advice and Help
In addition to calling to be proactive, you can also obtain valuable knowledge. Sites contain free information, downloadable manuals and fact sheets. Many city websites include articles on how to dispose of old furniture and bedding. They also recommend treatment options, explain how to implement an Integrated Pest Control Program, and provide a listing of local Pest Control Companies you can turn to. You can also visit our Find Pest Control page for companies who specialize in bed bugs.
Specific advice is usually targeted for tenants/landlords and schools. Many cities might even send out a representative to a building site and speak directly to the landlord on your behalf or recommend professional assistance.
If you are a renter and have an infestation, but your city is not listed, please call your State Public Health Department or Healthy Home division. They should be able to assist you and explain your rights as a tenant.
