Bed Bugs

TPPC engages regularly with EPA and other federal agencies to explore ways to prioritize, collaborate, provide technical resources and identify funding opportunities in support of tribal bed bug efforts.

In 2015, TPPC submitted a Bed Bug Issue Paper identifying bed bug infestations as a growing problem for tribal communities, and requested that additional educational and technical resources be made available for bed bug control.
