Bedbugs’ toll is financial, physical, emotional

The Columbus Dispatch Thursday October 11, 2012 9:36 AM

This is a story that no one wanted to be part of. A story of exhaustion, expense and embarrassment.

A story of bedbugs.

The story includes Eric Hurd waking up in his North Side home to find the bugs crawling on him before pulling back the mattress cover and finding hundreds of the insects.

It includes Todd Perry becoming so covered in bedbug welts that he had to wear makeup to work to avoid alarming others. It includes Rosemarie Mitchell having to postpone back surgery twice, once after the hospital learned that her home had bedbugs and a second time because of infections from the welts.

It includes Rod Bodwalk painting the floors of his East Side apartment beige so he could better spot the bugs crossing the floor.

And it includes Mary Elizabeth Courtney sticking dozens of bugs to a piece of tape in an effort to convince her landlord that she still had a problem after fighting the relentless pests for eight months.

As members of the Central Ohio Bed Bug Task Force prepare for a public forum on the bugs this afternoon, the human toll can only be described as, in Courtneys words, a nightmare. Bedbugs can consume lives; cost thousands of dollars; require months of labor; and, long after theyre gone, exact psychological damage.

This infestation affected all areas of our lives, said Mitchell, who spent eight months ridding her East-moor home of the vermin.

Mount Mercy Treats Apartments After Bed Bugs Found in One Unit

Posted on October 11, 2012 by admin Click Here For Article

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Thirteen students moved back into an on-campus apartment complex at Mount Mercy University Wednesday night following a chemical treatment for bed bugs.

University officials say two roommates living in the building alerted their resident after finding a bed bug in their unit.

They wanted to take care of the issue, but also wanted us to know, so other students didn't have a concern or issue, said Interim Dean of Students, Jenifer Hanson.

MMU said contracts with a local pest company to handle these situations.

Hanson said dealing with bed bugs is becoming more of an issue at universities across the country. She says its a good idea for colleges to have a proactive plan in place for getting rid of the bugs. But Hanson said even the best laid plans can fall apart without cooperation from tenants. In this case, she applauds the students for alerting their resident quickly.

"Our students have been really open with us and that makes all the difference in our ability to respond proactively, she said.

MMU officials say they only found one apartment with evidence bugs, but the pest company proceeded to clean every unit in the building. The chemical treatment displaced the thirteen students for about 48 hours.

Randy Barber with Quality Pest Control says treating the entire building is the right move in a multi-unit complex.

"Ninety percent of the rooms don't have insulation between them, so they can just follow the wiring to the next room, Barber says.

According to the pest expert, a treatment can be costly and many companies charge by the hour.
