Gazette.Net: UM housing staff sniffing out bed bug problems

Posted on October 10, 2012 by admin Click Here For Article

Since the reports of four cases of bed bugs inside a University of Maryland, College Park dormitory surfaced last week, 11 new cases have been made by students living within the building, causing housing management to conduct a building-wide inspection to extinguish the potential threat.

Bed bugs are parasitic insects that feed on blood and are commonly found in dark crevices of beds or couches in order to stay close to humans, causing itching, swelling and skin irritation by eating flesh.

Prior to the fall semester in August, Capstone On-Campus Management, which manages the South Campus Commons on-campus housing through a public-private partnership with UM, conducted inspections throughout all of their buildings using trained canines and did not find any signs of bed bugs. But on Friday, Capstones exterminators confirmed reports of bed bugs in four units inside the South Campus Commons Building 7, according to a Capstone statement sent to SCC student residents.

Management has since been in the process of exterminating the bed bugs in each unit using a series of treatments such as vacuuming, steaming and using liquid chemicals and is remaining in contact with the student residents affected. Students in affected dormitories have not been relocated, but have been given various inspections and exterminator visits to their units, according to property management.

Following the first four cases, 11 additional cases of bed bugs were reported Friday to Capstone, but exterminators found no evidence of the insects. As a precaution, management said a building-wide inspection will be conducted, again using canines to detect potential signs of bedbugs.

Kevin Reilly, 21, a UM senior and economics major, said he lives in the SCC Building 7 next to one of the four units that were infested and said the fact that he lives so close is concerning.

It makes me think its easily possible that we can also get bed bugs, he said.

Jordan Cedarleaf, 21, a UM junior and mechanical engineering major, said he also lives in the affected building, but said theres not much concern and said he doesnt expect it to spread to other units.

It doesnt bother me too much. I think [Capstone] is taking all of the right precautions, he said, noting the several emails the student residents have received from property management.

UM spokeswoman Crystal Brown said the university is aware of the issue and working closely with property management.

Delivers 245F Dry Steam While Vacuuming Away Dirt, Dust Mites, Bed Bugs and Allergens

Lake Forest, Illinois (PRWEB) October 10, 2012

The Italian-made Reliable EnviroMate TANDEM EV1 is two devices in one, says V.K. Dunlop of 1-800-GO-VAPOR.com. It uses 245F heated vapor steam instead of chemicals to instantly kill dust mites, mold and other allergens, and then it vacuums the waste away. It also kills bed bugs on contact.

For a rising number of allergy sufferers, a steam vapor system can make a real difference in the number of dust mites in a home. This is especially important for children who have asthma. Dust mites can cause children to become sick and require additional respiratory medicine. Purchasing a steam vapor system is the perfect way to limit a childs exposure to these unwanted houseguests. But conventional systems are not designed with vacuums. The TANDEM EV1 is.

Cleaning your home with a quality steam vapor system will kill dust mites instantly, says Dunlop. This is the first step, and your mattress and pillow are most important, because this is where you spend 1/3 of your time and where most dust mites in your home live. Once the dust mites have been killed, the next step is to vacuum the shed skin and waste away. The TANDEM EV1 does both these tasks simultaneously.

In addition to killing dust mites, the TANDEM EV1s allergy-friendly, water-based/HEPA filtration system helps eliminate pollen and other allergens from the home or workplace.

Located in Lake Forest, Illinois, 1-800-GO-VAPOR.com is moving fast to educate consumers and businesses that finally, there's a feasible, environmentally friendly alternative to chemicals. The company markets Reliable, Vapamore and Ladybug steam vapor sanitization systems worldwide. 1-800-GO-VAPORs top-seller, the Ladybug Tekno 2350 steam vapor sanitization system with Ladybugs proprietary patented TANCS technology, qualifies as a disinfection device for the EPA and is scientifically proven to wipe out superbugs like MRSA and VRE in five seconds.

World Homeless Day today

Posted on October 10, 2012 by vancouver Click Here For Article

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Thousands of people in Metro Vancouver are living without a roof over their heads. With World Homeless Day today, governments and organizations are putting the issue in the spot light and trying to change things for the better for those in need.

News1130 spoke with one Vancouver man who is homeless and hangs around the Fairview area. Craig collects empty bottles and cashes them in to buy meals. He makes enough to pay for a single room in the Downtown Eastside but chooses not to because he doesn't like the poor and nasty conditions.

"There are drug addicts, cockroaches, bed bugs, mice...if you don't mind being eaten alive by bed bugs, okay fine live there," says Craig.

He doesn't think social housing is any better and thinks the main problem with homelessness is the rising cost of housing.

"How it all started was that stupid Olympics. I was living in the West End and the hotel that we were in just before February, everybody got evicted," explains Craig.

"The hotels and things like that the government actually has taken over downtown, well, they're just as bad as any of the other ones, so there's really no difference in it...People can't afford Vancouver, everybody is in the same boat so it's like people are getting pushed to the suburbs, go to New West, go to Burnaby, places that are a little more affordable for rent."

He says politicians talk about how they're making improvements but from his experience he doesn't think that's really the case. "They say one thing but in reality they do different things," adds Craig.
