The Livingston County Health Center in Chillicothe has received several reports of bed bug infestations from local residents.
The health center reports bed bugs are becoming a problem in homes, apartments, hotels, cruise ships, dormitories, and shelters.
Bed bugs are not necessarily associated with unsanitary conditions and the problem may be found in the cleanest of homes, hotels, or other buildings.
The health center notes the latest research links infestations to people who travel a lot or stay overnight at different residences with the transfer of the bed bugs to multiple locations.
The center adds that it is important for residents to educate themselves about the signs of infestation, and then take steps to eradicate the bugs and prevent reinfestation.
