Project status as of June 12th, 2024
This team sought to address a persistent issue with bed bug infestation at a selected housing site. As a part of their project, they organized a 1-hour information session for tenants regarding bed bugs and how tenants can help facilitate effective treatment. In addition, they worked to build a stronger relationship with their third-party pest control specialists to ensure that tenants receive consistent, unified messaging about the bed bug problem from all staff on site. The team will continue building long-term solutions to their challenges with bed bugs.
