Don't Let the Bed Bugs Bite!
Once just a distant memory or a reference in a popular bedtime phrase, Bed Bugs are real, and are making a comeback in the United States. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services has gathered experts from across the state government, local municipalities and industry groups to develop resources and materials for Michigan. The resources below will be updated periodically as more materials are developed and become available.
The University of Minnesota also has a bed bug informational telephone hotline and website for the public. The "Let's Beat the Bed Bug" website provides information about bed bug prevention and control, and includes instructional videos. The UMN telephone hotline can answer many questions about bed bug prevention and control, call: 612-624-2200 or 1-855-644-2200.
