" Bed bugs Erie problems are similar to other Pennsylvania bed bug problems. There are government resources available throughout the state to help tenants understand their legal rights. For home owners, we recommend using an exterminator. Doing it yourself, is a lower cost alternative, but is difficult."
An increase in bed bug control problems has been reported in Erie County, Pennsylvania. As reported in the Erie Times and News, bed bugs have been reported at Erie Pennsylvania locations such as the Methodist Towers and dormitories at Gannon University.
According to Steve Jacobs, a Pennsylvania State
University entomologist, the infestations not only reflects a global
trend, it is due to several factors including changes in pesticide use,
bed bug resistance to insecticides and the purchase of used furniture
which contains bed bugs.
