If you live in Ohio and you're currently struggling with a bed bug issue, you're not alone.

Exterminators say the state is experiencing an “epidemic” of the parasite, especially in northeastern cities.

Dale Pluck, an exterminator and owner of Dale’s Pest Control, told Cleveland 19 News he's noticed a rise in cases involving the blood-suckers in Lorain, Sandusky and West Cleveland.

“They’re everywhere,” he said. “Stores have them. Doctors offices have them. You can almost pick them up anywhere.”

Wayne Minor, who works for Dale’s Pest Control as an exterminator, told the news station bed bugs are also a problem in schools.

"A lot of kids [are] bringing home bed bugs in their backpacks," he said.

Columbus, the Cleveland-Akron-Canton metro area and Dayton are some of the worst cities for bed bugs

Sounds like exterminators are trolling for business.

Ain’t diversity wonderful?

Add bed bugs to the resurgence of tuberculosis, measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough, mumps, bubonic plague
and other diseases, parasites and ailiments thanks to uncontrolled illegal immigration.

Absolutely correct statement. One of my in-laws had tuberculosis he brought up here from Mexico from working in an unsanitary dairy operation. The government lies about it and covers it up and we pay the price. Lies, lies, lies. Constantly.

What I pay annually for pest control is worth it.

If this is true in Ohio just think of how bad it must be in San Francisco and DC!

Right, and some of them are even running for political office.

All the decades we did not have to worry about bed bugs. Now influx of people from $h!thole counties and bedbugs are back on page 1 with no DDT to control it.

So is your in-law Mexican — or just an American doing a job Mexicans don’t want to do?

Think of all the regulatory obstacles associated with bringing a pet or other animal into the us from abroad.

For some reason, allowing 10’s of thousands of people unimpeded and wholesale access to the US is OK, but not an animals.....??

Hmmm? Not very good logic coming from the same clowns who try to force-feed us their ‘climate change’ BS, based on ‘scientific studies’

So now, I guess we have ‘situational science’...sheeeeesh!

Or, try bringing in a bag of oranges in from anywhere else in the world to any US International airport. They are more concerned about the Florida and California citrus crop than they are about your child being expose to bubonic plague.

Remember the scene in Godfather II when poor little Vito Corleone was held in a isolation cell at Ellis Island because he had TB or some or infectious disease. We are literally killing ourselves with political correctness.

Thanks for the heads up on the bedugs/ohio issue. WE had occasional issues at the hotel I worked at. Of course this mortified the owner/manager and we were all to keep it quiet.

Nothing can kill a hotel quicker than bedbugs
