Resources for Identifying, Treating and Preventing Bed Bug Infestations

Bed bugs are tiny pests that feed on blood and cause itchy, irritating bites. While the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) consider bed bugs a public health pest, they are not known to transmit or spread disease.Bed bugs do not cause damage to structures and they are not considered a public nuisance.
