According to the EPA, These Top Industries Should Have Bed Bugs on the Mind
July 23, 2019
With the rising prevalence of bed bugs, we all need to be aware of bed bug prevention, but several industries are proving more vulnerable. If you work in the following trades make sure you and your employer are aware of the threat, read the compiled resources, and develop an action plan for both prevention and infestation.
Health Centers/Hospitals
With large numbers of people in and out of hospitals, many staying in beds, hospitals and other health care centers are prime targets for a bed bug invasion.
Retail
Bed bugs are excellent hitch hikers and retail shopping gives them plenty of opportunity to jump hosts. Thrift shops, where furniture and clothes are coming in and staying, are particularly bed bug susceptible.
Schools and Childcare
In K-12, backpacks, coats, and kids can all carry bed bugs from home to school and spread them to other students and teachers. At the university level, sharing of beds from semester to semester is an obvious cause of bed bug infestation.
Travel and Transportation
Hotels are hopefully very aware and highly trained on recognizing bed bugs, but transit workers may not be.

Don’t take our word for it
Bill came out to my house tonight at 9:30 pm, because I was freaking out thinking I had a problem. Even though he had been working since before 7 am, he never once rushed his inspection of the room nor failed to answer all of my questions. He came out and inspected the entire area and, knock on wood, found nothing. He left my house tonight at almost 11 pm, and didn’t charge me a dime. He never once tried to sell me anything or make a buck on me. He came out to give me peace of mind. This is a man with integrity. If you have any issue at all, Bill is definitely your guy. I will recommend him to anyone I know having infestation issues. Thanks again, Bill. You’re a class act.
