Bed Bugs
How do bed bugs invade a home? In most cases, bed bugs are transported from infested areas to non-infested areas when they cling onto someones clothing, or crawl into luggage, furniture or bedding that is then brought into the home. Bed bugs are increasingly being found in homes, apartments, hotels, motels, health care facilities, dormitories, shelters, schools, and modes of transportation. Other places where bed bugs sometimes appear include movie theaters, laundries/dry cleaners, furniture rental outlets and office buildings.
How do I know if I have bed bugs? Bed bugs bite. The actual bite does not hurt, but may leave itchy welts on your skin.
You may see the bed bugs themselves, small bloodstains from crushed insects, or dark spots from their droppings. Because many other kinds of small brown bugs may be discovered, it is critical to ensure that the bugs are correctly identified. It is often hard to see them because they hide in or near bed cracks, folds and creases in the bed linens, and seams of mattresses and box springs. They may also be found in pleats of curtains, beneath loose areas of wallpaper near the bed, in corners of desks and dressers, in wicker furniture, in laundry or other items on the floor or around the room.
How do I get rid of them? If you are a homeowner, you may want to contact a licensed pest control operator who is knowledgeable and experienced in managing bed bug infestations. The Chester County Health Department recommends that homeowners hire a pest control professional licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture to evaluate what type of pest is present, and to handle insecticides.
You may also consider taking the following steps to eliminate bed bugs:
Landlords and property owners have specific obligations to provide safe and livable accommodations for tenants. Tenants have an obligation to cooperate with owners and landlords. This includes preparing the apartment so that the pest control operator can easily inspect the rooms and treat if necessary.
Where does the Chester County Health Department fit in? The Chester County Health Department has housing regulations that deal with the extermination of insects and rodents in rental properties. This applies to bedbug infestations in rooming houses and in two or more units in a multi-unit rental property. In these situations, the property owner or operator is responsible for the treatment to eliminate the bedbugs.
