Bed bug cases on the rise in Arkansas | thv11.com

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV)- You may feel a tad itchy after hearing that cases of bed bugs are on the rise here in Arkansas.

Pest Control companies have reported more customers finding the bugs in their homes.

It's a dubious distinction. Arkansas has been named as the state with the largest increase in bed bug activity.

Steve Adams, owner of Adam's Pest Control in Little Rock, said it's a rising problem.

"I would say since the last 3 years it's just gotten more and more each year," said Adams.

Adams said the parasitic insects were once thought to be eradicated from the United States, but have made a comeback.

"I'd say they're pretty much established here in central Arkansas." A recent study conducted by Terminix claims Arkansas has seen a 46 percent increase in bed bug customer calls in the past year.

Adams said he went years without a bed bug complaint from customers, but now, he said he gets 3 to 4 a week.

"Typically they're in the bedroom. That's usually where the first sightings of them are."

Adams said the faster you address the problem, the better results you'll have getting rid of them.

State Investigates Misuse of Pesticide for Bed Bug Control

Posted on November 3, 2014 by admin Click Here For Article

Agriculture Agency and Health Department Working to Contact Customers

News Release: July 10, 2013

Contact: Vermont Department of Health 802-863-7281

Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets Alison Kosakowski 802-272-4547

The Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets has summarily suspended the license of a pesticide applicator, Cary Buck of AAA Accredited Pest Control of North Clarendon, for misuse of a pesticide in treating a residence for bed bugs.

This action was taken after the Agency discovered that the company had wrongfully applied an organophosphate insecticide called chlorpyrifos to a home in the Rutland area. All indoor uses of this pesticide were cancelled by the U.S. EPA in 2001.

The Health Department is working together with the Agency of Agriculture to individually contact customers of this company who may have had their residence treated with this pesticide in 2012 or 2013, and is offering laboratory testing at no cost to determine if the pesticide is present. The Agency has collected a number of samples already, and will continue to sample in the coming weeks.

According to records obtained from the company, an estimated 50 or more residences may be affected, although the extent to which this pesticide was used in any application by the company, which operated in the greater Rutland region, is not presently known. Test results will indicate the presence of chlorpyrifos and any detected levels will determine the advice given by the Health Department for further action.

The discovery of misuse of chlorpyrifos by an applicator in Vermont is troubling, and we are working quickly to identify any customers who may have been exposed through this companys action, said Secretary of Agriculture Chuck Ross.

We are concerned about possible health effects,said Health Commissioner Harry Chen, MD. This pesticide can persist in the indoor environment, and exposure to high enough levels can affect the central nervous system and can be especially harmful to pregnant women and children. While we dont have any indication at this time that health effects from such exposure caused by this company have been widespread, we do recommend testing the residence of any customer identified so that we can take proper steps in the event we discover chlorpyrifos in the environment.

Bed bugs discovered in the Finance Building in Capitol …

Posted on November 3, 2014 by admin Click Here For Article

Beds bugs have been discovered in a ground floor office suite assigned to the Treasury Department in the Finance Building.

A few bugs were initially discovered last week in the small confined area, said Treasury spokesman Gary Tuma. Exterminators were brought in last Wednesday evening to fumigate that room.

But the problem didn't go away.

A few more bed bugs were found on Monday and Tuesday of this week, prompting the department to have the exterminators return to perform another treatment of the same area on Tuesday evening.

Forty-four people work in that bureau, which Tuma declined to name.

"We believe we've identified the source and we are taking measures to address the problem in both our office and at its source," Tuma said. He declined to be more specific about the source of the problem, citing human resources restraints.

Nevertheless, Treasury and the Department of General Services will continue monitoring the situation and will take additional steps if necessary, he said.

He said staff in the affected area were informed of the problem once it was discovered last week and have been briefed on developments since then. A decision was made to alert all Treasury employees to the problem around mid-day Wednesday because more of the bugs were spotted this week, Tuma said.

Bed bugs are not known to transmit diseases but their bites can cause pain and itching.

In 2012, a bed bug infestation was reported at the Department of Labor and Industry building. Two years before, the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency had a report of bed bugs. Several school buildings since then also have had problems with them.
