Public health officials and pest control operators across the country are responding to a significant increase in bed bug complaints. Although they are not known to transmit disease, bed bugs can cause a variety of physical and mental health concerns to anyone living with an infestation.
They have been found in homes, apartments, office buildings, hospitals, businesses, schools, and even movie theaters.
Economically, bed bugs can be a challenging and very expensive pest to control. The CDC and the USEPA have been declared that the bed bug is now a "pest of significant public health importance."
