Social Housing & Shelters
Are you dealing with a bed bug problem in one of your Shelters or non-profit housing complexes? Over the last five years, this has become a common phenomenon. Public health officials have seen a rise in reports of bed bug infestations in social housing since 2005.
Bed bug infestations in Social Housing spread quickly
Bed bug infestations are often difficult to detect and shelters and public housing complexes are particularly challenging. Social housing is typically a ‘hot spot’ for bed bugs because residents are often unaware that they are infested because apartments and suites often go unchecked. As a result beg bugs multiply rapidly and travel from room to room – through pipes, vacuum cleaners, old furniture, on clothing and luggage.
Bed bugs & used furniture
The more people have used a bed, sofa, headboard, side table or pillow, the more likely the occurrence of bed bugs. Since Social housing furniture is often donated and has multiple users, bed bug occurrences can be prevalent.
Prevention & quick response is key
Do you have adequate procedures in place to deal with the threat of bed bugs? You need to act fast! Pesticides are not as reliable as you would think. According to the Journal of American Medicine1, your bed bug prevention and response plan should include an integrated approach, which includes a variety of products to destroy eggs.
