Cincinnati’s community press’s site released July 4th showed this poll: “A survey by University of Cincinnati’s Institute for Policy Research – the same folks who conduct the respected Ohio Poll – found that as recently as 2010, 18 percent of homes in Cincinnati reported experiencing trouble with bedbugs. That poll was commissioned by the Cincinnati Health Department.”

Also, “The pest control companies Terminix and Orkin released in May their lists of the top cities in the United States for bed bug service calls in 2011. Cincinnati topped Orkin’s list and was second only behind New York City on the Terminix list.”

Rep Dale Mallory also comments, “We all know that Ohio is in a terrible spot with bedbug infestation,” said State Rep. Dale Mallory, D-West End, and chair of the Cincinnati Joint Bed Bug Task Force. “It has gone beyond just some bug-infested home.”

Remember BBI will travel anywhere in the state of Ohio to do bed bug inspections. For the antire article, click the permalink.
