The Council on Aging is hosting an informational session on bed bugs on January 27, at 10 a.m.

Instances of bed bugs have been steadily on the rise over the past decade with no indications that this trend will stop. They have been detected in every state. Cleanliness is no deterrent for these creatures. Bed bugs have popped up in five star resorts, schools, libraries and even movie theatres. They remain one of the most challenging pest to treat.

Join Erica Hanks, Public Health Nurse, and learn how to detect bed bugs, how bed bugs travel and enter your home, how to treat bites, and how to eliminate bed bugs.

The Council on Aging is located at 628 Dartmouth Street.
