Bed Bugs in Ohio: Why Chemical Treatment Still Works Best
Ohio ranks in the top 10 states for bed bug reports. Here's what actually gets rid of them without tearing your house apart.
Ohio has been in the top 10 states for bed bug reports for over a decade. Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, and Dayton all sit near the top of the national rankings, and the Miami Valley sees them in single family homes, apartments, and hotels alike.
Bed bugs don't care how clean a home is. They hitch rides on luggage, used furniture, and clothing. Once inside they hide in mattress seams, box springs, headboards, baseboards, and outlet covers.
Proven chemical treatment is still the most reliable method for full elimination. It works on eggs, nymphs, and adults, penetrates the cracks bed bugs actually hide in, and leaves a residual that keeps working for weeks after the visit.
Before treatment, strip and bag bedding, vacuum thoroughly, and pull furniture away from the walls. After treatment, follow the re-entry instructions and skip the urge to move mattresses back into another room, because that spreads the infestation.
