March

This month's big thing was bed bugs. We had four elder apartment with bed bugs. We suspect that one apartment was infected and then through exchanges, the other apartments got infected. I had never seen a bed bug but the elder in Thomson, GA managed to capture two and put them in a plastic bag. They were about 1/8 of an inch long, probably in the 3rd instar so still juveniles and not likely to be laying eggs. We believe that the elders discovered them early and by aggressively cleaning and using Permethrin we think we have beat the bugs back for the time being. Time will tell.
