Bed bugs are becoming a bigger problem around the country, and New Jersey is no exception. The Jersey City Municipal Court recently dealt with a bed bug infestation this past summer after battling these tiny pests back in 2010.
Bed bugs in the court were detected using dogs that are specially trained to sniff out these biting pests. Although the extent of the infestation isn’t known, the court took steps to handle it and help prevent NJ citizens who visit or work in the location from bringing bed bugs into their homes. Since these pests are known for having bites that cause skin irritation, dealing with the infestation promptly was crucial. The court isn’t certain how the bugs were brought into the building, but there are many ways that this can happen. Bed bugs can enter buildings in bags and boxes and end up going home with unsuspecting people by climbing onto their clothing or into their bags.
The infestation at the Jersey City Municipal Court highlights the importance of detecting bed bugs as early as possible and promptly dealing with them. Otherwise, they can become much harder to get rid of and end up causing ongoing skin irritation and rashes.
