Bed bug control in public housing

Last month the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) published its official guidance for public housing authorities and managers of Section 8 (federally subsidized) housing. If you do pest control work for public housing, you should be familiar with this new document.

Click here for the guidance notice PIH-2012-17 and here for guidance on prevention and safe removal of bed bugs. Thanks to Allison Taisey and her blog on IPM in multifamily housing for this update.

It's easy to become part of the Insects in the City blog. All you have to do is add a comment. Go to the bottom of the post and click on the link that says either "Post a comment" or "x comments" at the end of a blog post, and a screen with a window for viewing and posting comments will open. You will have to type the letters of a squiggly word (a block for spammers) into the word verification box and click "anonymous" or "name/URL", depending whether you want your name to be associated with the comment or not. Once I approve your comment, it will show up behind the story. Questions are fine, but unless they are relevant to the post I may choose to respond to you directly. Spam, empty flattery (easy to tell from heart-felt sentiment) and shameless plugging of a company or website will, of course, be trashed.
