AddThis Social Bookmark Button

The CAA hosted an updated Bed Bugs 101 education session on December 8th. Bill Willis with Willis Law Firm, LLC instructed this session, topics incuded:

  • Debunking of common myths.
  • Who is responsible for the cost of treatment?
  • What can I do if the resident isn't prepared or doesn't cooperate in the treatment?
  • Why bother?
  • Training for apartment staff.
  • Are we responsible to pay for new furniture for a resident?
  • Identification & prevention.
  • Good language to add to your lease agreement or Rules & Regulations.

>> Review the course materials.

The CAA is taking an active role in educating members on the importance of bed bug prevention.  In turn, we ask that CAA members educate your residents on how to identify a bed bug and how to take precautions when traveling to prevent future bed bug infestations.  As an association working together, we can ensure that bed bugs do not unnecessarily spread from one community to another and we can work hard to prevent their introduction into communities at all.

The first generation of the Apartment Staff Bed Bugs Training Manual that was developed in conjunction with the Central Ohio Bed Bugs Task Force (COBBTF) is now available. This is a work in progress and what was referenced during the seminar at the CAA Expo on April 7th. After approval from the COBBTF a finalized copy will be available shortly.



CAA would like to get your feedback on our plan. Click Here to take a quick survey. You can also visit our bed bug training comments section.
