\"\"<\/a>Bed bugs<\/a> are not new to American households say New Jersey pest control<\/a> professionals.\u00a0 Nearly eradicated completely in the 1950\u2019s thanks to the availability of the strong pesticide DDT, bed bugs have returned to our landscape with what looks like no real hope of eliminating them from the United States completely.<\/p>\n

All levels and types of schools are quite susceptible to having a bed bug infestation, despite what some people may think.\u00a0 Bed bugs are master hitchhikers that will easily hitch a ride into a school via a coat, hat, gloves, textbooks, notebooks, backpacks, or even the very clothing that a person is wearing to school.<\/p>\n

WYMT TV reported on January 26, 2012 that a teacher first found a bed bug last month at the Hunter Hills Elementary School in Kentucky.\u00a0 Since the discovery of the first bloodsucker at the school, \u201cother bugs have been found in isolated areas which prompted school officials to take precaution and alert parents.\u201d\u00a0 There was no mention of the school in question utilizing the services of a licensed pest control company to eradicate the \u201cisolated areas\u201d where the bed bugs had been found.\u00a0 You may read the article<\/a> here.<\/p>\n

School administrators often state incorrectly that schools are not a hospitable environment for bed bug infestations to continue to thrive.\u00a0 Schools are hospitable for a number of reasons\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Bed bugs are able to abstain from eating for over a year so they are not affected by long summer, winter, or spring break sessions.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Bed bugs thrive in cluttered filled environments. Classrooms and administrative offices with stacks of paperwork provide the perfect hiding places for bed bugs to lurk.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Bed bugs can survive in school lockers which are often shared by students in elementary school grades.\u00a0 It is not uncommon for students to unexpectedly bring bed bugs home with them because of the shared space.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Just like in the home environment, bed bugs will live inside school walls and pass from classroom to classroom via electrical wires, plumbing, or cable wires.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Bed bugs feed solely on blood, which is vastly available when students and schools staff members occupy a school.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0In a college environment, students often visit different dorm rooms, off-campus apartments, make frequent trips back and forth home, and spend time in the student lounge.\u00a0 Because of the transient nature of college life, students are likely to encounter bed bugs at some point in time.<\/p>\n

Any child or adult can bring bed bugs home from school at any time.\u00a0 Educating yourself about what bed bugs look like, how to find bed bugs, and what their habits are is the first step in avoiding being a victim to bloodsucking bed bugs.\u00a0 If you are battling bed bugs in New Jersey, contact Allison Pest Control.
