How to Get Rid Of Bed Bugs | ARLA

Posted on February 13, 2015 by admin Click Here For Article

The Alberta Residential Landlord Association (ARLA) is working closely with the Edmonton Bed Bug Stakeholder Committee, Alberta Health and ARLA members to monitor and better understand the recent resurgence of bed bugs in Edmonton and throughout North America.

ARLA is aware that many Alberta Residential Landlord Association members are experiencing infestations of bed bugs as they spread throughout the City of Edmonton, including but limited to office and commercial space, hotels, hospitals, public areas, shelters, housing, etc.

ARLA recognizes that bed bugs are not associated with unsanitary living conditions in rental properties but rather are primarily spread as a result of:

ARLA is of the view that education is key in addressing the problem of bed bugs. ARLA continues to encourage its members to educate themselves and their residents on bed bug recognition, prevention and elimination.

ARLA believes that prevention and elimination of bed bugs is a cohesive partnership among ARLA members, residents and all levels of government. ARLA members should therefore encourage non-punitive reporting of infestations and joint cooperation in any treatment process to ensure effective results.

ARLA wishes to see members and their residents comply with treatment recommendations and protocol to prevent and eliminate bed bugs by including regular suite monitoring for bed bugs and initiating professional pest control treatment to eliminate bed bug populations.

ARLA is working to ensure that our members have access to the latest information on effective bed bug control treatments, tools and procedures through closely monitoring research as it becomes available, participating in bed bug information sharing initiatives and educating our membership through seminars, symposiums, handout materials, website and articles in the ARLA Rental Gazette Newsletters.

BY WORKING TOGETHER, WE CAN CONTROL THE SPREAD OF BED BUGS!

How to Avoid Bed Bugs When You Travel – HubPages

For most people, the worst thing about getting bed bug bites is the idea of the tiny pests in their bed, biting them. Bed bug bites themselves are not usually dangerous or harmful. Few people will experience allergic reactions.

Unlike mosquitoes, bed bugs do not transmit disease. You could get an infection from scratching bed bug bites, but that is usually the extent of any potential problem.

Do be aware that bed bug bites seem to take forever to heal, and also that bites may not appear until days after you are bitten. I got my bites over a week ago, and the red dots stubbornly remain covering my feet and legs. A few stay bites are visible on my arms and hands, too.

If itching is a problem, ask your doctor if you can take over the counter antihistamines like Benadryl and/or use a topical cream with cortisone. Should your bites get infected, you may need antibiotics. Again, consult a medical professional.

New Bed Bug Survey Shows Problem is Not Waning; Bed Bug …

FAIRFAX Va. - The new 2013 Bugs Without Borders Survey conducted by the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) and the University of Kentucky, found that bed bug infestations in the United States continue at high rates and the pest is as much, if not more of a problem than in years past. The survey of U.S. pest management professionals, found that 99.6 percent of respondents encountered bed bug infestations in the past year and that infestations have increased in the majority of locations in which pest professionals typically treat for bed bugs. The study is being released during Bed Bug Awareness Week (April 22 through 26), a national observance by NPMA and Chases Book of Lists to help spread public awareness about bed bugs and what people can do to help curb infestations.

This is the third survey from NPMA and the University of Kentucky which tracks the bed bug problem since the resurgence of the pest began in earnest about three years ago. The previous survey was conducted in 2011.

According to the survey, bed bugs are overwhelmingly found in private residences including apartments, condominiums and single-family homes and the incidence of infestations in these environments is slightly higher compared to the 2011 findings.

These results clearly show that there is still much work to be done in the fight against bed bugs, said Missy Henriksen, vice president of public affairs for NPMA. As Americans prepare for summer travel, enroll their children in summer camps and college students return home, we hope that these survey findings and Bed Bug Awareness Week observances will remind the public that bed bugs are still very much a problem and that with education and vigilance we can work together to decrease the easy spread of bed bugs.

Below are the top five findings from the 2013 Bugs Without Borders Survey:

1. Nearly all (99.6 percent) pest professionals have treated bed bugs in the past year, slightly higher than the 99 percent that reported the same in 2011.

2. The majority of bed bug infestations occur in residential settings, such as apartments/condominiums and single-family homes, with 98 percent and 96 percent of respondents treating these dwellings respectively. Two years ago, about nine out of ten respondents reported treating infestations in these settings.

School expects to find out today if bed bugs are back

Friday, February 13, 2015 4:05 AM EST

Titusville Herald

Ehrlich Pest Control returned to Main Street Elementary School on Thursday, at 3:30 p.m., to inspect the school's bathrooms after the discovery of a bed bug infestation in late January.

The infested bathrooms were treated Feb. 2.

Titusville Area School District Superintendent Karen Jez said Thursday night that she will receive a report from Ehrlich this morning, regarding the results of Thursday's inspection.

In a previous statement, Jez said that, in the event bed bugs are rediscovered, the district will repeat the pest control process, including having Ehrlich return for follow-up treatment and bagging personal belongings.

The process, Jez described, is the same as when lice are found at a school.

After the discovery of the bed bug infestation, most likely caused by the pests riding to school on a student, Jez posted a letter to the district's website, gorockets.org, advising parents to inspect their homes.

Just what are bed bugs?
