ADD Bed Bug Infestation – ECG threatens to disconnect …

Regional News of Saturday, 13 December 2014

The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) is threateing to disconnect power from the Ashanti School for the Deaf for owing the company accumulated electricity bill of GH?80, 127.96.

The school authorities told Ghana News Agency (GNA) in an interview that the school is financially handicapped to settle such a whopping amount.

Mr Ofosu Boachie, Headmaster of the school who expressed worry over the disconnection threat said when it is carried out the pupils would not be able to communicate or study at night.

The schools only source of income is government feeding grants of GH?2.20p per pupil per day, which has, in recent times, been raised to GH?3.30 but has not been effected.

It is the feeding grant we rely on. It does not come regularly, that is what we manage to do maintenance, buy fuel and fire wood etc. We cant even pay our creditorsthey are always on us and we have to lie to them all the time, Mr Boachie said.

He said though the school has a standby generator donated to it by Sokpo, a non-governmental organisation from the Netherlands, the authorities could not afford to pay the GH?75.00 worth of fuel required to run it.

The cooks use fire wood, though the school has Liquefied Petroleum Gas tank which has been empty for nearly a year due to lack of funds.

The 595 disability students are living in bed-bugs-infested dormitories for two years and the authorities say they are financially weak to fight the pest-ridden creatures, because the charge for the fumigation process is GH?1,200.00.

Company Trains Dogs to Detect Bed Bugs

Posted on December 17, 2014 by admin Click Here For Article

STEAD, NV - Vigilant Canine Services International has a background in training dogs to detect explosives and narcotics for both the military and law enforcement. So when the company started getting calls from hotels and exterminators to ask whether their dogs could detect bed bugs the handlers got right to work. Despite the fact that this is a new service for the company, owner and CEO Buck Dikes says it was not a difficult process.

"We imprint the odor of live bed bugs through the normal imprinting process that we've used for our bomb dogs and our drug dogs for many years," he says.

That's right, they use real bed bugs to teach the dogs how to find the scent. The handlers are sent in to random rooms, some of which have bed bugs, while the others are blanks. VCSI trainer Steve Holidy says the dog will make it clear when it has found its mark.

"The dog will have a change of behavior, which could be a change in breathing or body posture. What we would like is for the dog to go into a sitting position to pinpoint where the bugs are," he says.

According to Dikes, VCSI is the only company in northern Nevada to offer this kind of service. It can be beneficial to not only homeowners, but hotels, hospitals and day cares as well. It also makes life a little easier for exterminators. Dikes says early detection is very important because it means reducing the bed bug population.

"These bed bugs are hiding in walls and in carpets. They sleep during the day and come out at night to feed. So, to find them is difficult at times," he says.

The handlers at VCSI say that in addition to training their own dogs they can also train your dog how to detect bed bugs.

Some state workers sent home after bedbugs found in Docking building

Posted on December 17, 2014 by admin Click Here For Article

State workers tried not let the bedbugs bite Wednesday, after the itch-inducing insects were discovered in the Docking State Office Building and employees in the affected area were sent home.

John Milburn, spokesman for the Department of Administration, said there were reports of bugs on the third floor of the building and that facilities management, a division of the department, was investigating.

The Kansas Department of Revenue resides on the third floor. Department spokeswoman Jeannine Koranda said an exterminator confirmed Wednesday that bedbugs had been found.

Rebecca Proctor, executive director of the Kansas Organization of State Employees, said revenue employees on the third floor were told about the bedbugs in a meeting Wednesday morning. She said an employee who was in the meeting who had spoken with her indicated bedbugs were initially found before Wednesday, but that a nest had now been found in an office chair in a cubicle.

The employee who called us was really concerned about it, because its not like the bedbugs are only going to be in that cubicle, Proctor said.

Koranda initially said the department became aware of an issue on Tuesday.

What I was told was that they were alerted to it yesterday, and we brought in the exterminator, Koranda said.

Koranda then called back later to say a supervisor had identified a suspected bedbug on Monday and at that point an exterminator was contacted. She then said an exterminator examined the area on Tuesday and found bedbugs.

A Revenue employee who works on the third floor, whose name was withheld because of fears of reprisals, said the first bedbug had been found in late November. The individual said department leadership spoke to employees about the bedbug issue for the first time on Wednesday.

Proctor said she had been told by an employee that the area will be isolated in plastic and that the heat will be increased in an effort to kill the insects. Bedbugs die when their body temperature exceeds 113 degrees.

Bed Bug Report for Hyatt Regency Newport, Newport, RI

Posted on December 17, 2014 by admin Click Here For Article

anonymous on 07/06/2012

Stayed at Newport Hyatt May 10th & 11th, 2011. Can't remember the room number. Rash on feet and legs over past few weeks. Just discovered bed bugs. Called hotel. They stated they had no problems and that it was "too long" from period of my stay.

Hyatt Regency Newport on 05/19/2012

We take bed bugs and all forms of pest issues very seriously at the Hyatt Regency Hotel and Spa in Newport Rhode Island. Any sitings of pests are immediately acted upon and remedied. When we saw the post about room 516 a week after the guest had stayed here we immediately took action and called in our pest control company (Eco Lab) to inspect the room. The results were negative for any type of pest infestation. For any guest to accuse a hotel of a bed bug infestation and not report it to man

agement during their stay is beyond our comprehension.

Regards

The Hyatt Regency Newport Hotel and Spa
