A bed bug was found in a classroom at a local school. The discovery caused some chaos at the Monroe elementary school. Experts say it isn't that rare to find bed bugs in a school.
A teacher at Arborwood South Elementary School in Monroe, Michigan found a small bug last Friday that turned out to be a bed bug. Over the weekend, professionals cleaned and treated the classroom, but on Monday more bugs were found in a locker. Assistant Superintendent of Elementary Education, Julie Everly, says "The student where these were found, he does have siblings and so what we have done, although there haven't been any other insects cited since Monday we have continued to monitor the area."
Everly says that student and his siblings have not returned to school just yet. "When the students do come back there will be a return to school plan that follows several other of our protocols."
Officials believe the bugs more than likely hitchhiked to school through one of those students. Eric Zgodzinski, Environmental Health Director in Toledo, says "Sometimes we'll get a call saying you know the house must have been really dirty because they have bed bugs, well, no it's not really dirty. What it is, is they just carry from one house to another or one school to another."
Zgodzinski says usually the bed bugs live under a mattress or in the lining and feed at night. But they can travel on a number of things. "In suitcases, gym bags and on clothes. So if you're sitting in a chair for an extended amount of time you could get them on your clothes and take them someplace else."
The school says areas where the bugs were found are being inspected several times a day and no additional bugs have been found since Monday. Experts say one thing to keep in mind is that the little pests are not a public health risk.
Experts say if your child brings any bed bugs home, you don't have to throw away all their clothes and sheets. There are ways to get rid of them. One way is by washing linens and clothes, then putting them in a hot dryer. Experts say once you think the clothes can't get any drier, put them back in for a second round. The heat will help kill them. But the best solution to get rid of bed bugs is to call a pest control professional.
