A Survey of bed bug infestation in some homes and hostels, in Gboko, Benue State, Nigeria, was conducted from January to April, 2011.
Bed frames, bunks, mattresses, pillows, chairs, and clothes were inspected.
A total of 2,642 bed bugs were collected.
73.3% were from hostels while 26.7% were from homes.
There was a significant difference between in the number of homes infested and those not infested ( χ 2 = 61.44 , df = 4 , P < 0.05 ).
Nymphs were the most populated, with 292 (41.4%), followed by males 223 (31.6%), and females 190 (27.0%).
There was no significant difference in the number of infested hostels and those not infested ( χ 2 = 0.8 , df = 4 , P < 0.05 ).
The nymphs being the most populated with 901 (64.1%), followed by males 538 (36.1%), and then females 496 (35.3%).
The greater number of infestation recorded in the hostels was as a result of poor hygiene, lack of adequate knowledge of the best control practices and the high population density.
In homes, lack of the awareness of the resurgence of the emerging pest and lack of proper health education is responsible for the high infestation.
Proactive approach should be taken towards public health education against bed bug infestation.
Government and NGOs should take critical steps in preventing spread and stigma.
