Exterminator: Library-To-Home Move Of Bed Bugs Unlikely

Thursday, August 2, 2012

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.
