Dear Parents, This communication is regarding the recent discovery of bed bugs at HSES. Modern Pest has shared with us their recommendations. Modern Pest shared in their report that no bugs were found but there was a “hit” from the dog, indicating that there may have been a presence of bed bugs at one time. This means the scent was there but no actual bugs or eggs were found. Modern Pest does not recommend treating the schools at this time unless an evident infestation was found. At this point, there is no infestation. Steps moving forward include having the custodial crew in each building conduct a deep cleaning in rooms where the K-9 got a “hit” to prevent any type of spread. There will be other rooms that will receive a deep cleaning to avoid the spread. Modern Pest shared in their conversation with our Building and Grounds person that bed bugs are very slow moving and inactive during the day or when exposed to any light. Infestations outside of beds, homes, nursing homes or places where people normally sleep are unlikely. Please be assured we are taking proper steps and precautions to make sure our staff and students are safe. We are relying on the experts in this field for guidance and their knowledge to help us resolve this problem. The following policy and protocol are being followed.
