In case you haven’t heard yet, bed bugs are back! These pesky creatures have once again become an epidemic. Bed bugs thrive in areas that are filled with clutter and people. The more people, the more hosts available for these parasitic creatures; making dormitories the perfect breeding ground for bed bugs. Not only do they have thousands of students, faculty and janitorial staff to feed on, but they also have plenty of carriers available to spread this vicious pandemic across the nation. Because bed bugs can reproduce so quickly, entomologists and extermination experts agree that it is considerably cheaper and much more effective preventing a bed bug infestation in contrast to removing them once a dormitory is infected.
The bed bug pandemic is sweeping across the nation infecting colleges from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans. As stated earlier, this resurgence is greatly attributed to dormitories being the perfect breeding ground for bed bugs; a multitude of hosts and cluttered areas that experience a lot of hustle and bustle on a daily basis. According to various campus newspapers as well as national newspapers, bed bugs have been reported in many campuses across the nation, including:
The scariest thing is that these are just some of the colleges where bed bug infestations have been reported! The reality is that even if you don’t see your college listed here, it does not mean that the college is bed bug free. Another thing to keep in mind is, just because there was an infestation, doesn’t mean that these facilities currently are infested; however, college campuses tend to have many international students that travel frequently so there is a good chance dormitories can become re-infested!
Although colleges have developed some decently effective measures of dealing with bed bugs, it is extremely costly and time consuming. By taking these preventative measures, you will drastically reduce the chances of getting infested and bitten by bed bugs, in-turn keeping you away from many sleepless nights, emotional and physical stress. You will already be stressed from school work, papers and exams; don’t let bed bug bites and infestation add to that stress!
