US $3.50
Many US states are now setting up special task forces and hot line to handle bed bug complaints within their public housing sector or health departments.
After calling several state offices, (it took me a while to find the right person to speak to) I was able to get in touch with the people who handle the actual bed bug calls. Some states sent me their bedbug statistics and also gave me information about the types of inquiries that are made. Many of the states put up guidelines or educational presentations on their websites with targeted information for schools, health aids, social workers, nurses and home.
For example, in Hamilton County Ohio alone, with a jurisdiction of 450,000 people, I spoke to Jeremy, a state official. He told me that they get 3-5 calls per week mostly from multi-housing tenants who are renting. Only 3% of calls per year were regarding cases at hotels.
Total complaints rose from 2003-2008 and then dropped in 2009 and 2010. It is supposed that these reports decreased because people are now dealing with the issues more or are too embarrassed to report them.
98% of the complaints were against landlords. The city then does an inspection and contacts the landlord and tells them they need to contact an exterminator specializing in bedbugs and should get several quotes to compare.
Hamilton is on the front edge of bedbug response, with a very hand-on approach in addition to over-the-phone advisement. The complaint calls come from men and women, and the elderly.
20-25% of confirmed cases said that the bedbug infestation has been going on for a while, with more complaints are made in the spring then summer and in the fall then winter.
Cincinnati did not get many complaints from public transportation, although public transportation was a big problem in NYC. Some reports were regarding movie theaters which were not confirmed. Cincinnati, Hamilton County and Central Ohio combined their efforts and became one task force in Ohio. The department of health puts out guidelines.
Furthermore, there are local city Bed bug conferences for the public. New York, Philadelphia and Cincinnati even hired entomologists specializing in bedbugs to give a lecture open to the public. Some top task force recommendations include tenants getting exterminators and mattress covers to protect their bedding and control the problem. Only in extreme circumstances do they advise throwing out the mattress or box spring.
More Bed Bug Task Force Housing and Nuisance Departments
In Kentucky, at the Division of Environmental Health, complaints mostly come from rental properties. As a service, they enforce management to get their building sprayed. Tenants need to be educated when moving in and out of apartments about how to handle the risks or spreading of a bedbug infestation. The department did a complete search of every apartment in the Town Plaza Project consisting of elderly people. They then worked with management and the tenants to handle any infestations that had swept the apartment complex.
Baltimore also has a healthy home division which deals with such calls and infestation reports.
In the San Francisco Health Code there are Director's Rules and Regulations on How to Control Bed bug Infestation.
The Inspectional Service Dept. (ISD) in Boston strives to educate inspectors, property managers, exterminators and the general public on the nature of bed bugs, bed bug prevention and the proper extermination of bed bugs. They personally attend extermination visits and assist with the preparation for the service call by sharing their knowledge and experience on best practices.
- They require written extermination reports, within 14 days of a notice of violation, and prior to closing a case. They will work with owners providing they have contracted a licensed Pest Control Operator and have a written treatment program in place. The owners of building need to inspect all units in the dwelling and treat all horizontally and vertically adjacent units to the infested unit. Over the past few years, Boston ISD has reached out to the community at large through the media where there has been a high concentration of infestations offering certain assistance for control of the problem.
There have even been state acts passed. For instance, the State of New Jersey Assembly Act 3203: which established procedures to prevent and eradicate bedbug infestations in certain residential areas. Three bills were passed by the City Council in New York between 2006-2008.
Some North America cities have set up focus groups to tackle the problem. In Canada, The Toronto Bed Bug Project takes a collaborative approach. Instead of passing accusations of who is to blame, they get businesses and residents to work together in order to protect its citizens from the economic impact and diminished quality of life due to the rapid growth in bed bug infestations.
Toronto Councilor Fletcher's went as far as writing a letter to Board of Health requesting they declare Bed Bugs a Health Hazard.
Bedbug Community is reaching out across the web to help consumers like you prevent and eliminate bed bugs.
