According to the EPA, These Top Industries Should Have Bed Bugs on the Mind
July 23, 2019
With the rising prevalence of bed bugs, we all need to be aware of bed bug prevention, but several industries are proving more vulnerable. If you work in the following trades make sure you and your employer are aware of the threat, read the compiled resources, and develop an action plan for both prevention and infestation.
Health Centers/Hospitals
With large numbers of people in and out of hospitals, many staying in beds, hospitals and other health care centers are prime targets for a bed bug invasion.
Retail
Bed bugs are excellent hitch hikers and retail shopping gives them plenty of opportunity to jump hosts. Thrift shops, where furniture and clothes are coming in and staying, are particularly bed bug susceptible.
In K-12, backpacks, coats, and kids can all carry bed bugs from home to school and spread them to other students and teachers. At the university level, sharing of beds from semester to semester is an obvious cause of bed bug infestation.
Travel and Transportation
Hotels are hopefully very aware and highly trained on recognizing bed bugs, but transit workers may not be.

I had TRS Extermination come out to my home for a bed bug inspection and the service tech Ryan was very professional and he did show me an active infestation in my home he gave me a very reasonable quote to do a heat treatment two days later he came back out did the heat service and I’ve been bug free for the past few months now. I also now use them for my quarterly pest control service I would highly recommend them for any of your pest control needs.
