College apartments, universities and dormitories
Dorm rooms act as breeding grounds for bedbugs since they experience high rates of student turnover. Furthermore, the hustle and bustle of student life and the fact that these residences are often small, untidy and cluttered contribute to the epidemic.
A key contributor is both the overuse of used furniture (notorious for harboring bedbugs) and the excessive traveling back and forth to one another’s dorm rooms, apartments, parents’ homes and vacationing at frat houses, hostels and resorts – help spread bed bug infestations.
An integrated program is key
The Journal of American Medicine1 states that pesticides alone are not the answer. A bed bug response program should involve a multi-disciplinary approach to managing infestations that includes ’student education’ and the use of certified bed bug management products.
