Bed bugs have become an increasing issue in Ohio government facilities over the past seven years. Employees can unintentionally transfer bed bugs between their workplace and home. The organization's facilities management team began preparing for potential bed bug issues in 2010, informed by the closure of a Manhattan store due to infestation. The first bed bug was reported within months, beginning a process of education, communication, and cooperation with pest management professionals to properly address issues as they arise. Ongoing education of employees helps prevent the spread of bed bugs within facilities and between work and home.
