A Maine man who was angry he didn't qualify for assistance slammed a cup of livebedbugs Friday on the counter of a local municipal office and released around 100 of the tiny pests, the Kennebec Journal reports.

Theman went to the code enforcement office earlier Friday to complain about bedbugs at his former apartment before leaving and later returningafter he showed the cup of the bugs to a manager at his new apartment and was told he couldn't live there.

When he returned to the Augusta City Center, he was told he did not qualify for assistance.

"He whipped out a cup (full of live bedbugs) and slammed it on the counter, and bam, off they flew, maybe 100 of them,"City Manager William Bridgeo told the newspaper.

Some of the bugs landed on an employee on the other side of the counter.The incident forced officials to close the city office for the rest of the day as exterminators were called in to kill the bugs.

It is not known if charges will be filed.

Avoid the Biting Burden of Bed Bugs This Summer – satPRnews (press release)

Posted on June 5, 2017 by admin Click Here For Article

DETROIT, June 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ Whether at home or traveling for summer vacation, bed bugs could be a key concern. Although named for their habit of feeding on human hosts in bed, they can be found in all types of locations and items. To promote public awareness and to help avoid infestations, the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) has declared June 4-10, 2017 as Bed Bug Awareness Week. Rose Pest Solutions is joining NPMA in this important public education effort by sharing common signs of a bed bug infestation to keep an eye out for this summer.

Just like people enjoy traveling in the summer months, so do bed bugs, and they love using personal belongings like suitcases, boxes and shoes as a hiding place, just to be near a food supply, said Barb Craig, Direct of Communications for Rose Pest Solutions. With these biting pests being easily transported, its important that our clients in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana know the top signs of an infestation, so proper precautions can be put in place and to know when its time to call a licensed pest control professional to assess the situation.

Rose Pest Solutions shares the following noteworthy signs and symptoms of a possible bed bug infestation:

A 2015 study by NPMA and the University of Kentucky found that while bed bug infestations are a year-round phenomenon, six out of ten pest control professionals noted seasonal differences in frequency. At Rose, we see a rise in reported bed bug cases in the summertime due to summer travel.

During the summer, travel increases and so does the likelihood of encountering bed bugs. We strongly encourage the public to take extra precautions to avoid encounters with these biting pests, added Craig.

All Charleston fire stations now free of bedbugs, officials say – Charleston Post Courier

Posted on June 5, 2017 by Pest Controller Click Here For Article

After a month of dealing with bedbug infestations, the Charleston Fire Department announced Monday that all city fire stations are now free of the pests.

Firefighters who were relocated from four stations in recent days and weeks were allowed to return to their respective stations Friday. All 16 of the department's stations were inspected and cleared by K-9s trained to detect bedbugs.

Crews from two stations on James Island were forced to move to air-conditioned tent shelters, while firefighters from a station on Daniel Island and another in West Ashley were relocated to other stations.

After multiple unsuccessful attempts to eradicate the bugs, the department turned to a method that uses large propane tanks to heat the interior of the affected areas for several hours. Interim Fire Chief John Tippett said the alternative was the quickest and least invasive.

"It did take us a little while to get to the exact right way to do things," he said.

The city will reimburse firefighters who want a K-9 to search their home for bedbugs, Tippett said.

Going forward, Tippett said officials plan to adopt stronger prevention measures, such as monitors for detection, and regular treatments. The department plans to issue mattress and box spring covers for beds at every station.

The problem of bedbugs is not unique to the Charleston Fire Department. In December, firefighters in Chester, N.J., reported bedbugs at one station, according to reporting by the Delaware County Daily Times.

"They're showing up everywhere. We can't even be sure that there was a patient zero," Tippett said. "They could've hitchhiked in from a call. They could've been brought to work from somebody who came back from a trip."

The department consulted with Eric Benson, an extension entomologist based out of Clemson University. In an interview last week, Benson said officials took the right steps to rid the stations of the blood-sucking pests.
