CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) -

Data released from the Greater Cincinnati Survey conducted by the University of Cincinnati's Institute for Policy Research demonstrates that Cincinnati residents experiencing problems with bed bugs have declined from 22 percent in 2009 to 18 percent in 2010*. Cincinnati Health Department officials point to this data as an indication that the City's aggressive outreach and education efforts are working.

These results are an encouraging sign that knowledge has been gained and applied about how to limit the spread of the pesky insects.

Beginning in 2008, the Cincinnati Health Department led an effort to assemble a consortium of organizations and experts from the City, County and State of Ohio to develop one of the first comprehensive Bed Bug Strategic Plans in the nation. Since that time many of the recommendations have been put into practice.

1) Education. Often individuals have no idea how bed bugs spread, what should be done to limit transmission, or the best ways to eradicate them. A series of brochures, fliers, videos, public service announcements and other materials have been developed and distributed to the community.

2) Outreach. The Health Department has met with and worked with schools, businesses, "big box retailers", pest control companies, local, state and federal government agencies and community groups to develop bed bug control policies and attend events to teach effective bed bud control and eradication measures.

3) Surveillance. The Cincinnati Health Department is one of the first health jurisdictions in the nation to collect hard data which illustrates the scope of bed bugs in the City. In addition the health department licenses City hotels and motels, which allows for regular inspections and a quick response to bed bug complaints.

4) Advocacy. The Health Department has worked with community partners and governments to apply for grants and lobby the EPA and other governmental entities for assistance with bed bug remediation.

Going forward it is critically important that the City continue to work in partnership with the general community, business community, and county, state and federal agencies to combat bed bugs.

"We know that we can make a difference if we work together to provide surveillance, resources and deliver accurate public messages. The City will continue to be aggressive in our response to this very difficult problem and welcome partnership and resources from other levels of government, such as the State of Ohio to assist us." Said Dr. Camille Jones Cincinnati Assistant Health Commissioner.

Cincinnati Sees Decline in Bed Bug Infestation

Posted on March 15, 2012 by admin Click Here For Article

The city of Cincinnati may soon be losing it's not-so-desirable status as the "Bed Bug Capitol of the United States." Today, officials announced that the number of residents who are dealing with bed bugs has declined in just the past two years.

The Cincinnati Health Department says 18 percent of residents are experiencing problems with bed bugs, down from 22 percent in 2010. The Health Department believes its campaign to educate residents about the pesky bugs, which involved assembling a consortium of organization and experts from the City, County and State of Ohio, helped.

Back when "Time Magazine" published its article naming our city as the "Bed Bug Capitol", the city responded by forming the first bed bug strategic plan in the nation. A series of brochures, fliers, and videos were released and the Health Department worked with schools, businesses, "big box retailers", pest control companies, local, state and federal government agencies and community groups to develop bed bug control policies and teach effective bed bug control and eradication measures. In addition, the health department licenses Cincinnati hotels and motels, which allows for regular inspections and a quick response to bed bug complaints.

Though bed bugs are not known to transmit disease, they can be an expensive nuisance and cause substantial embarrassment and mental anguish for those experiencing an infestation. Dr. Camille Jones, Cincinnati Assistant Health Commissioner, says "We know that we can make a difference if we work together to provide surveillance, resources and deliver accurate public messages. The City will continue to be aggressive in our response to this very difficult problem and welcome partnership and resources from other levels of government, such as the State of Ohio to assist us."

14-03-2012 19:34 Bedbugs are a growing concern for many commercial enterprises and homeowners. Due to the discontinued use of some pesticides and more frequent travel to 3rd world countries, bedbugs have made a big comeback here in Hawaii. Bedbugs feed off humans like fleas feed on cats. Although they are not vectors of disease, they can cause skin irritation and can quickly produce an unappealing environment. Although Waikiki has traditionally been a bedbug hotspot, we have found cases in homes from Hawaii Kai to Pupukea. Bedbugs are so invasive, that they take much more thorough treatment than most pests. Many exterminators won't even deal with them because they're so hard to control. A big part of control has to do with catching the infestation early. Bedbugs generally will be introduced into a structure through luggage, used furniture, or from storing or moving your belongings in an infested truck or container. If you think you may have bedbugs, call us today at 236-2847. We offer the best Oahu pest control services. http://www.kilaueapest.com

14-03-2012 20:13 Kilauea's general pest service includes regular treatment for most structural pests including ants, roaches, centipedes, millipedes, mice, silverfish, spiders, wasps, and pantry pests. Your technician will assess the pest needs at your home and treat them based on your needs. The first time we treat the property (initial treatment) will be both inside and out. The regular service (monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly) will generally be outside. However, we will come inside at no charge for any interior pest activity during or in between the regular treatments. Not only do we provide pest control and termite control service island wide, we specialize in the unique pests that afflict some neighborhoods more than others. For example, there are some areas of Hawaii Kai, Kaneohe, and Makakilo that we have observed large centipede populations. The Glaber Ant and White Footed Ant seem to prefer the wet Windward and North Shore areas of Oahu, usually using the vegetation around homes and buildings to nest in. Big Headed Ants, on the other hand, tend to be seen in East Oahu and Central Oahu. Making these distinctions are important to exterminate these pests. Some pests require an extra service fee for control. These include fleas and ticks (indoor), bedbugs, carpenter bees, carpenter ants, termites and second story paper wasps. http://www.kilaueapest.com
