Wayne Township is battling a bed bug problem. The district announced Tuesday that it believes the problem has been taken care of.

Late last week, the district was notified that two siblings unknowingly brought the bugs to both Ben Davis High School and Sanders Elementary School. Both students took buses to school and those buses also service two other schools in the district-- Bridgeport Elementary and the pre-school.

Spokeswoman Mary Lang said the district sent out thousands of emails and made automated calls to parents and guardians who have children at the affected schools.

"According to the information that we've shared from the CDC, bed bugs are found all over the world so it's something that could happen at anytime and of course, we don't want our students to have to deal with that."

The exterminator company is also treating the home of the two students. They are being kept home until the bed bugs are gone. Health experts said bed bugs are not to be considered a medical or public health hazard and they are not known to spread diseases.

Due to bed bug infestation, a municipal hall in New Jersey has been closed down, reported patch.com on August 2.

As it was said in the report, the Brick Township municipal complex was shut down last Thursday because of the bed bug sightings. It stated that the town's police department housed in the complex had to relocate to a Mobile Commant Unit to continue its operations.

A separate report from sfgate.com stated that the pests were sighted in several areas in the hall. It related that they were first found in a jail cell a month ago. Last week, they were again seen in the Human Resource Office and then in the Tax Collector's Office.

The sightings of bed bugs in the different areas of Brick town hall prove that the said pests can infest any place and that they spread quick, said ExterminatorForBedBugs.org. And given that they are sneaky too, they can hitchhike unnoticed with guests and employees, it is likely that they will extend their infestation to residences, it added.

To effectively counter the possible bed bug infestation and to clear the pests immediately after they were sighted, ExterminatorForBedBugs.org advised the public, especially the Brick residents, to prepare a bed bug spray. However, of the many bed bug products there are today, the website asserted that every bed bug sufferer should go for one that is non-toxic for a safe bed bug treatment.

And so among other bed bug products, the site only recommended the use of Bed Bug Bully. It said that the solution is non-toxic without dropping its effectiveness. Hence, with it, the public can implement a truly effective and safe bed bug elimination process, it added

The Central Branch of the Wichita Public Library is closed the rest of this week because of an invasion of bed bugs.

The pest problem was first discovered Wednesday by a patron at the library.

Digging Deeper

For most of the 20th Century, bed bugs were almost eradicated.

In recent years, however, they have seen a resurgence. The reasons are not yet clear.

However, experts say some factors may be complacency, increased resistance, bans on pesticides and increased international travel.

Now, library leaders are working to uncover just how widespread the problem is. Then, they will figure out how to get rid of the bed bugs.

Bed bug infestations are becoming an increasing problem across the country. While the City of Wichita is not calling the situation at the library an infestation, many people have been asking if it is possible the bed bugs hitched a ride home from the library with them.

A local exterminator, who returned to Wichita Wednesday from a two-day "bed bug boot camp" in Kansas City, says it is possible, but not likely.
