Bed Bugs
Currently, Neighborhood Services & Enforcement does not respond to bed bug complaints.
According to the St. Joseph County Department of Health, bed bugs are not known to transmit disease to humans and are, therefore, considered a nuisance pest. Because of that reason, the Department of Health does not investigate bed bug complaints. The Department of Health recommends having the apartment, house, etc. checked for pests prior to moving in. The Department of Health suggests contacting a professional exterminator if bed bugs are found.
