Removing Bed Bugs

 

Bed Bugs occur nearly worldwide. Although they became relatively scarce during the latter part of the 20th century, their populations have resurged in abundance in recent years. Health Officer for the East Orange Department of Health and Human Services Rochelle Williams-Evans offers suggestions to assist in eliminating bed bugs. She recommends spraying 70% isopropyl rubbing alcohol on bed linens, mattresses and cloth-covered furniture, and particularly keeping sleeping areas free of clutter.

 

For complete information on bed bugs, and ways to eradicate the problem, please visit the East Orange Department of Health and Human Services located at 143 New Street (behind City Hall) or call (973) 266-5481.
