Bed Bug Central released results from its ongoing bed bug surveys. Results show that in April bed bug activity compared to March demonstrated a significant slow-down in bed bug business in the Northeast, a busy April for the Southeast and Eastern Midwest (Ohio, Michigan and Illinois) and a busier West Coast.
In the Northeast in March, only 5% of the companies that completed the bed bug survey reported bed bug business being "down" but this number increased significantly in April (close to 28%). Close to 90% of companies in Regions 2 and 3 (the Southeast and Eastern Mid-West) reported business either being "up or flat." Lastly in April, about 45% of companies on the West Coast reported business being "up" compared to March where only about 25% reported being "up."
