Bed bugs have become a problem nationwide. Since Sarasota County is a travel destination, we are concerned about this issue. Those who are traveling to the area or returning from other communities are encouraged to follow the guidelines in the factsheets provided below.
Although bed bugs and their bites are a nuisance, they are not known to spread disease.
