For the third time in recent weeks, bed bugs have invaded another Nebraska college campus!

This particular invasion had spread over at least 94 rooms, costing more than $100,000 to decontaminate the affected rooms. The costs to eliminate bed bugs can be devastating and the reputational harm that follows is detrimental.

It has been predicted, with study abroad programs, spring break vacations and the transient nature of students that college campuses are becoming a hot spot for these pests and it will only get worse. Several recent reports indicate that within the next few years, nearly every campus will have some type of encounter with the creepy nighttime crawlers.
