Bed bug infestation becomes major problem for local family

CLINTON, Tenn. (WVLT)-- Danae Phelps is worried about her mother living at The Village of Carriage Hills in Clinton because she has a big problem: bed bugs.

"It's been going on and off for almost a year and my mother said that they [the apartment complex] have come out and sprayed. However, to my knowledge that's not how you handle a bed bug problem, you use heat," said Phelps.

The site manager at the complex wasn't allowed to go on camera because of company policy. But she did tell us they follow the guidelines set by Rural Development of Tennessee.

In Phelps mother's case, they got the complaint and wrote a formal letter to the mother with a checklist of things to do within 5 to 7 days.

After that, the complex came in and sprayed cedar oil. And according to reports, most of the times it does the job for the complex - but Phelps said the cedar oil didn't work for them.

We contacted Mark Nadolski from Russell's Pest Control for expert advice concerning bedbugs and cedar oil.

"There's some studies that say cedar oil does work. It's enviromentally safe but it's also a product that you can apply without having a licenses through the state of Tennesse," he said.

So what's the best solution to get rid of these pesky bugs?

"They can't survive over about 115 degrees so we use a steamer- something you;d find in a clothing store and that will typically kill the bed bugs we see and it will kill the eggs. We also use a pesticide after the steam treatment," Nadolski said.

But it's not a one time deal, he notes - sometimes it takes numerous treatments because bed bugs are stubborn and can hide in the smallest places.

Bed Bugs Conference on HUD Requirements By AudioSolutionz Gets a Tremendous Response

Durham, NC (PRWEB) January 07, 2015

Shattering all previous records, the webinar titled What does HUD Say About Bed Bugs?, hosted by AudioSolutionz on December 17, 2014, with expert speaker Debbie Hixon, was attended by more than 500 participants across the United States.

Debbie, an industry veteran with over 25 years of experience in the Affordable Housing Industry, spoke at length about the problem of bed bugs and the HUDs take on the problem. She provided guidance to attendees on the rights and responsibilities of owners, management agents, HUD and tenants on the topic.

The session was attended by 300 live attendees and more than 200 DVD and transcripts orders poured in during the duration of the event. Post-session, AudioSolutionz is also witnessing a great interest in the pre-recorded version, DVDs and transcripts of the webinar. Mainly promoted through the website http://www.assistedhousingalert.com, a part of AudioSolutionz, a 100% increase in traffic was witnessed on the website within the period of Nov 5 to Dec 17 (the day of the conference).

Debbie Hixon, who travels throughout the country to train people on various HUD topics, commented on the great response the webinar received, The response was overwhelming but not unexpected. Since HUD has released two notices and much written information on this issue, owners, management agents, tenants, and HUD-insured or assisted housing staff must be certain that they are carrying out all requirements. She also added that in accordance with project Regulatory Agreements and Section 8 HAP Contracts, a housing area must have no evidence of infestation, and HUD will monitor O/As to ensure this is a reality.

One attendee from Florida, Erin McKean, an assisted housing staff added, We learned a lot about bed bugs. The session was really enlightening and put down many of my worries to rest knowing that I have now all the information to comply with the regulations. We currently have the heat machine we purchased, but we learned that the steam works well too!

What does HUD Say About Bed Bugs? provided much needed guidance to owners, management agents (O/As) and residents of HUD multifamily insured and assisted properties to remind all parties of the importance of prevention, identification, and treatment of infestations in HUD-assisted and HUD-insured rental housing. It covered topics such as Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPM); staff training; responding to inspection findings; Bed Bug prevention and removal; Bed Bug control in multifamily housing; effective methods for control and more.

For general awareness and information, the session is still available on-demand, and in DVDs and transcripts. For more information, visit http://www.audiosolutionz.com/public-housing-compliance/huds-take-on-bed-bugs.html

Health and Family Services Cabinet Be Aware of Bed Bugs

The Kentucky Department for Public Health (DPH) encourages Kenuckians to learn more about bed bugs, a pest that could be lurking in their homes.

During the 1940s and 1950s, the bed bug was a common pest in many homes, said Guy Delius, acting director for the division of public health protection and safety. Although annoying, the bed bug has not been known to carry disease.

The bed bug is a small, brownish insect that feeds on the blood of animals. It gets its name primarily because it is most active at night and often hides in the tuffs and folds of bedding. Reactions to the bite vary by individual but are generally mild, resulting in itching and swelling at the site of the bite. The most significant health concern stems from scratching the bite, which can lead to secondary infection in rare instances.

Signs that you may have a bed bug infestation include unexplained bites after sleeping; blood spotting or staining on mattresses or bedding; and the observance of insects or their discarded skeletal casings.

Public Health Commissioner William Hacker, M.D., recommends that people who think they may have a problem with bed bugs seek advice from their local health department or health care provider.

Accurate identification of the insect followed by treatment by a licensed pest control company is the most effective means for addressing bed bugs. DPH has developed information to help citizens understand more about these insects.

Additional information can be obtained from the local health department, area pest control specialists or the DPH Web site at http://chfs.ky.gov/dph/info/phps/enviromgmt.htm.
