Although, bed bug bites can cause considerable discomfort and loss of sleep, bed bugs do not transmit disease, therefore, there are currently no regulations or resources available to assist with control of bed bug infestations. |

Bed bugs do not transmit disease after feeding on multiple hosts. Bed bugs are spread through the acquisition of infested second-hand furniture or by hitch-hiking on items. Bed Bugs can be found even in very clean environments. There are other bugs that look like bed bugs. Before treating an infestation, it is very important to correctly identify that bug. Insect repellents are not effective against bed bugs. Bed bugs feed at night. No one is at school during the night. Hitchhikers may be possible but infestation is not likely. For more information
