Purchasing your first home is definitely a major milestone and an exciting moment.  Although you may think you have thoroughly prepared for whatever comes your way, a home is still a huge responsibility.  Some risks that could occur may even be invisible to the eye.

According to the Lexington Herald Leader, the Lexington Public Library doing whatever it takes to eliminate the bedbugs from the Central Library on East Main Street. 

A pest control company from Evansville, IN brought bedbug-sniffing in and found evidence of the insects inside "isolated pieces of furniture" on the first, third, and fourth floors of the of the building.  In addition, the library has begun a twice-a-day regimen of vacuuming, and a carpet- cleaning company will come to steam-clean carpet and upholstered furniture throughout the area.  The most effective method of control is to heat-treat furniture in a portable heat container that gets to 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

Although bedbugs haven’t been around this area of the country for years, it is thought that the reappearance of their presence is due to a combination of factors, including more international travel, coupled with less effective chemicals.  They are increasingly encountered in homes, office buildings, theaters, hotels, dormitories, schools and public transportation.
