“Pate urged the public to cooperate with Port Health Officers at points of entry in the course of their surveillance activities.

“Bed bugs are small, flat reddish-brown wingless insects that infest beds, sofas, luggages and other furniture. They often crawl onto people’s body or luggage to travel to new surroundings.

“While they are not known to cause any illness, their bites cause discomfort, itching, anxiety, sleep disturbances, depression and allergies.

“Early detection is key to controlling their infestation, as they are capable of putting everyone at risk.”
