Ellis Co. Extension

In recent years, bed bug infestations have increased. While these pests are most often associated with clutter and filth, they have also been reported in the finest hotels and living accommodations. There is no specific explanation for the resurgence of bed bugs, although increased international travel and pesticides with reduced residual activity are thought to have contributed.

On Thursday, September 15th, at 7:00 PM, the Ellis County Extension Office is hosting an informational bed bug program called “Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite!” This program will take place in the back meeting room of the Ellis County Extension Office at 601 Main St. in Hays. K-State Research and Extension Entomologist, Dr. J.P. Michaud, will provide information on the life cycle of bed bugs, what to look for, and steps to take if you find some.

This program is free to the public but it is requested that those interested in attending pre-register with the Ellis County Extension Office at (785) 628-9430, no later than Tuesday, September 13th.

If the thought of bed bugs makes your skin crawl, then this program is for you. Plan to join us on September 15th for “Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite!”
