BED BUGS

Bedbug infestations

CDPHE DOES NOT investigate bedbug infestations because they're considered a nuisance and not a health problem.

Information about bedbugs is available from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Recommendations for addressing a bedbug infestation:
- Contact a licensed pest control operator who's experienced and knowledgeable in the inspection, identification and extermination of bedbugs.
- Using insecticides on your own can be dangerous and ineffective, and may even spread the infestation.
Colorado organizations involved in housing regulations and tenant-landlord mediation include:

Denver County Environmental Health and Housing
720-865-3200
(Denver residents only)

Jefferson County Landlord Tenant Issue Line
303-237-0230
(Jefferson County residents only)

Check to see if your county's local public health agency has additional resources
