Workshop:
How to get rid of bed
bugs?

Location:
Rosemont Recreational
Center


During the Saturday Academy I spoke
to students and parents about bed
bugs. We read articles and watch
videos that showed how to identify
them. Also, we read about important
procedures to follow once bed bugs
have been identified.
Bed bugs have become a big epidemic
in the Rosemont apartments.
Currently, we are working with
landlords and parents to help control
the spread of this critter.
