Earlier this year <a href=\"http:\/\/www.floridatoday.com\/story\/news\/local\/2015\/04\/09\/cocoa-beach-public-library-eradicates-pesky-bedbugs\/25517697\/\" target=\"_blank\">bed bugs\u00a0turned up in a Florida library<\/a>, showing that no public place is immune.<\/p>\n<p>In January, a patron of the Cocoa Beach Public Library spotted an insect in a study area that was subsequently identified as a bed bug. Director Ray Dickinson then closed the library for three days and brought in a pest-control team to perform a thorough extermination.<\/p>\n<p>The team conducted an initial treatment, then returned twice more for follow-up treatments. Two chairs believed to be harboring the insects were also discarded. Since that time\u00a0there have been no further <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/blog\/2013\/01\/25\/bed-bugs-in-libraries-it-stands-to-reason\/\" target=\"_blank\">bed bug sightings<\/a>, so officials are optimistic that the pests were effectively removed.<\/p>\n<p>As a precaution, the library has received\u00a0inspections every other week. Dickinson says the Cocoa Beach branch, which receives\u00a0approximately 20,000 visitors per month, is the only one in the 17-branch Brevard County system to report bed bug sightings.<\/p>\n<p>A visit to the local library or any other public building could result in bed bugs hitching a ride back to your Toms River home. Our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/locations\/toms-river-new-jersey.php\" target=\"_blank\">professionally-trained staff<\/a> is experienced at safely eliminating bed bugs or any other pest found in the Toms River area.
