Subject: The City of Chicago Needs Policy to Control the Spread of Bed Bugs


Honorable City of Chicago Aldermen:

Bed bugs are spreading across our city and are likely afflicting thousands of Chicagoans. Infestations are very difficult and prohibitively expensive to eradicate, creating conditions that threaten the quality of life in our city. There is an urgent need to identify best practices, disseminate bed bug prevention and control information, and coordinate resources to help Chicagoans struggling with intractable and financially draining bed bug infestations.

Other North American cities, such as Boston, San Francisco, Toronto, and Cincinnati, have already developed policy to control the spread of bed bug infestations-- solutions and strategies that include the tracking of infestations, trash collection protocols, bed bug hotlines, coordinated public education efforts and regulatory and enforcement tools to aid prevention and control efforts.

I respectfully urge you to help create policy to control the spread of bed bug infestations in the City of Chicago; to promote the formation of a task force comprised of entomologists and other industry professionals to help develop and implement this policy; and to introduce and/or support related legislation.

Thank you for your consideration.
