Customer tells her side of bedbug story

ASHEBORO An Asheboro woman charged with dumping bed bugs on furniture at an Asheboro store last weekend says she was upset because her daughters had been bitten by the bugs.

Kacey Renee Bodine of Peachtree Street was charged Saturday with injury to personal property for dumping the bugs and ordered not to return to Rent-A-Center at 1509 N. Fayetteville St.

The charge came after Bodine showed up at the store to return a used bunk bed set her girlfriend had rented two weeks earlier and which she says was infested with bed bugs.

Common bed bugs are insects that feed on blood. The bite of a bed bug can cause a skin rash or other adverse health affects. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) all consider bed bugs a public health pest, but bed bugs are not known to transmit or spread disease.

An adult bed bug is about the size of an apple seed. Eggs are the size of a pinhead.

According to Bodine, the store manager refused to send someone to pick up the rental property, telling her that he would send someone to disassemble the bunk bed and move it to her front yard. A couple of store employees came to her residence and helped her take apart the furniture but told her they could not haul the infested furniture in the company truck.

Bodine said she figured if they would not come get it, she would deliver it.

The bed frame would not fit in her vehicle, so she took the mattresses to the store and carried them inside. Then she opened a bottle and dumped bed bugs she said she had collected from the mattresses onto a couch and loveseat in the store

Why did she dump them in the store?

They were going to come in with the mattresses anyway, she said. The store needs to be shut down for inspection. I had told the (police) officer (I dumped the bed bugs) because this store needs to be shut down.

Housing authority: Five Monaca apartments treated for bed bugs

Posted on September 24, 2014 by admin Click Here For Article

MONACA -- After Joyce Townsend saw bed bugs on a mattress in a Dumpster, she told other neighbors -- eager for free furniture -- not to take anything, she said.

They quickly backed away, she recalled.

A four-story building for the Housing Authority of the County of Beaver, Monacatootha Apartments, had five units treated for bed bugs in the last month and a half, the authoritys assistant executive director, Brian Yaworsky, said.

In our region, were starting to see more instances of bed bugs, Yaworksy said. Say a decade ago, that wasnt an issue. Its just something now thats becoming more prevalent.

Bed bugs, small wingless insects that feed on the blood of warm-blooded animals, typically seek out hosts at night to painlessly sip a few drops of blood, according to the Allegheny County Health Department.

Those living in multifamily housing can be particularly vulnerable. The bugs can wander through walls and holes where wires and pipes are, according to http://www.achd.net/pr/bedbug.html, an Allegheny County web page that describes how people can address the problem.

Bill Todaro, a medical entomologist for the Allegheny County Health Department, said people often dont realize they have bed bugs because bites may not appear until several weeks or even a month later. So people might first think a mosquito or other insect bit them and spend time going to a dermatologist to assess the problem.

But a simple precautionary measure is to place climb-up insect interceptor traps to determine if bed bugs are climbing frames of a bed, Todaro said.

Other problem areas include seams of chairs and couches, between cushions, folds of curtains, drawer joints, electrical receptacles, screw heads and several other areas, according to a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency web page.

Across Beaver County, the housing authority has had other units affected in Beaver Falls and Aliquippa, but the total that needed treatments was less than 10 this year, Yaworsky said.
