Central Ohio Bed Bug Task Force

Posted on April 24, 2009 by Renee Corea

The Central Ohio Bed Bug Task Force is entirely a volunteer organization according to this article about the task force in The Other Paper. They have a $5K grant. That’s it.

It’s humbling. They’re just simply doing this.

Jessica appreciated the scope of their new website.

I like their presentation for schools, Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite: What Every School Community Needs to Know (PPS download), see the last link on this page.

  • When I’d go home, at three A.M. let’s say, I’d get into the dry bathtub, overcoat, shoes and all and undress by stages, dropping each garment on the floor outside the tub after I had inspected it. I’d find three or four riders each time I’d do it. — William Carlos Williams
