| Linn County Public Health has received increased calls from the pest control companies, hotels, property owners, and the public concerning bed bug infestations. Bed bugs are not known to spread disease but reported effects include anxiety, insomnia, and systemic reactions. As bed bugs are prevalent in our community, precautions should be taken to protect yourself and your family.
Please see the associated files section below where we have included more information. We will update this site and our Facebook site as information becomes available.
