School takes precautionary measures for bed bugs

Toronto, OH -

Parents of Toronto High School students were informed of a bed bug being found on a student on Tuesday, leaving them with questions about what the school is doing to make sure the school is clear of bed bugs.

Toronto City Schools superintendent Fred Burns wants parents to know that they have taking all the necessary precautions and he wants to bust the myths about bed bugs.

We have confirmed a case of bedbugs. It occurred here on Tuesday. We actually took it and had it analyzed by Rose Pest Control and they confirmed it was a bed bug, Burns said.

On Wednesday, a dog trained to find bed bugs came to sniff the school buildings for signs of these pests and Rose Pest Solutions came to make sure there were no signs of any bed bugs.

The dogs sniffed out the fact that it could have possibly had the odor of being on somebodys shoe. They definitely didnt find anything in searching the area in both buildings, Burns said.

Local exterminators said its a difficult process to get rid of bed bugs and anyone can get them.

Definitely a difficult process, one of the main things that I think is the biggest problem with the bed bugs is people not being aware that they are here, its a very big issue. Theres stigmas that go along with bed bugs as far as people being dirty and other things like that and thats totally untrue. Anybody and everybody is susceptible to getting bed bugs, T.J. Wright, a lead exterminator for the Pest Detective said.

Burns wants parents to know that their children are safe in the school.

Bed bugs had long been infesting the US mainland. New York and Cincinnati are among their top city destinations. However, it seems that the blood-sucking pests have plans of taking over the world as they had also been discovered in Guam just recently.

A Guam entomologist has said that the first bed bug incident in the island happened in 2007. After that, reported bed bug cases continuously increased in the following years.

It is believed that the pests found their way to Guam through the travelers. And because they are known for a lot of not-so-good things, officials are afraid that they will scare potential tourists away. To counter that, the islands Public Healths Division of Environmental Health Supervisor seeks cooperation among various local departments and associations.

Additionally, a database of reported bed bug infestation is also on the work to get a scope of the problem about the pests. Trainings for hotel housekeepers to identify the pests are also being conducted.

=====================

Its been a major problem in large cities like New York and Cincinnati in the U.S. mainland, but now it seems the pesky problem has made its way to Guam. Some visitors to the island might have some locals losing sleep.

Sleep tight and dont let the bed bugs bite is a saying most of us are familiar with. But now the question is should island residents be sleeping tight or worrying about bed bugs biting? The parasite that feasts on human blood has made it way to Guam. Dr. Aubrey Moore is an extension entomologist at the University of Guam and said, The first incident that I know of occurred in 2007 we had one indication that bedbugs were here on island and then the year after there were a few more and the year after that a few more.

Dr. Moore says currently they are getting about one detection of bed bugs per month. Public Healths Division of Environmental Health Supervisor Rosanna Rabago says cooperation is needed to fight against a spreading infestation, saying, What we wanted to do is establish some sort of partnership amongst all the stakeholders from the University, the Cooperative Extension Services, the Guam Hotel Restaurant Association the pest control companies, Public Health, the Guam EPA, everybody has a vested interest in this in one way or the other.
