Central Ohio Bed Bug Task Force

Central Ohio United States

NGO / Public Service

The goal of the task force is to prevent bed bug infestations through education and serve as a resource to those struggling with an infestation. The Central Ohio Bed Bug Task Force formed in November 2008 because of the growing number of bed bug infestations in Franklin County. It is a collaborative endeavor including representatives from local governments, health departments, social service agencies, pest control applicators, landlord and tenants rights groups, fire departments, the Ohio Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Health, and the Ohio State University Extension.
