CIRCLEVILLE, OH (WCMH) Circleville City Schools confirms that cleanup is in progress after a bed bug was detected from a student in a classroom at Circleville High School.

Superintendent Jonathan Davis said:

We are following our protocol after a bug was detected from a student in a classroom today at CHS and will treat all areas, as we always do. We have been in communication with the Health Department and recognize an increase in bed bugs across the County and State and know that these bugs are transported to/from school on student clothing, bookbags, and other items. Im confident our pest control protocol, and CCS staff, have done an excellent job doing everything they can to properly treat any, and all, citings and we will continue to look into any means necessary to ensure our students and parents that the buildings are clean and safe. As a parent, with students in the district, I can assure that nobody wants to have lice, or bed bugs, and the district takes seriously any and all reports.

A letter was sent home to parents Wednesday, clarifying the districts bed bug treatment protocol.

The building will likely have to stay closed for the rest of the month.

Bruce Leshan, WUSA 5:59 PM. EST February 08, 2017

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) - Hundreds of D.C. students are back in school after a couple of days of chaos. Savoy Elementary has been struggling to deal with an outbreak of bed bugs that left some youngsters bit up and miserable.

Experts say bed bugs are actually quite common. But infestations are pretty rare. And the one at Savoy is apparently so bad that the building is likely to be closed for the rest of the month while workers clean it up.

The Savoy students piled into buses in the morning, and after two unscheduled days off, headed to a hastily renovated school building a couple of miles away. "I'm excited, I'm happy they're back in school, because they need the learning," said Regina McCallum, a mother of two.

Parents say they've been complaining for weeks about bed bugs in the Savoy school.

"Administrators finally closed it on Monday and Tuesday, while workers raced to get the vacant Ferebee Hope building ready to host youngsters again," said Humberto Gittens.

Bed bugs are great hitchhikers and can easily travel back and forth between home and school on bags and backpacks. They feed on human blood, and they're bites can be painful, but have not been shown to carry disease.

The EPA says you usually do not need to close a school to deal with them. But the problem at Savoy is apparently bad enough that the school is tossing out and replacing all it's old rugs and furniture, where the bugs can lay their eggs.

Parents say shuttling to the new building is a hassle, but they'll deal with it.

"It's kind of sad, but they've got to get an education no matter what. It will work. It's kind of a mess, but I guess it's ok," said Shienna Manning.

RELATED:How to get rid of bed bugs

No word from D.C. schools on any other buildings that might be struggling with bed bugs. But again, they're common and usually quite manageable. Five years ago, the EPA says there were 4,000 reports of bed bugs in New York City schools alone.

The EPA says you can usually deal with bed bugs by cleaning up clutter, vacuuming, soap and water, and a hot clothes dryer. You may also want to encase your mattresses. If none of that works, higher a pro who uses what's called "integrated pest management."

Booneville hires exterminator to kill bed bugs at elementary school – 4029tv

BOONEVILLE, Ark.

Bed bugs have been found at Booneville Elementary, according to John Parrish, District Superintendent.

4-5 bugs were found inside the elementary school last week, Parrish told 40/29 News. Parents were not made aware of the issue.

The school originally planned to try to kill the bugs on its own, Parrish said, but the district decided to hire an exterminator after hearing concern from parents.

The exterminator has been scheduled to work at the school at 4 p.m. on Friday, February 10, Parrish said. School will remain in session for the week.
