Bed bugs are a global epidemic and can be found in homes, stores, movie theaters, office buildings, hotels and residence halls. Adelphi University’s Garden City Campus houses over 1,300 students in seven different residence halls and like anywhere else, is not immune from the threat of bed bugs. For this reason Adelphi has trained its staff to quickly identify and respond to bed bugs cases.

The University’s protocol in the residence halls include:

• Trained residence hall and facilities staff
• 免费洗衣服务(可选;dry cleaning is not included),
• Free bed bug treatment by professional exterminator
• 免费使用可以杀死臭虫的加热室和烘干机。

Education is an important part of insuring a bed bug free community. The Office of Residential Life and Housing educates students about bed bugs by providing literature (flyers and pamphlets,) and residence hall programming.

Do …

• Consider buying a mattress encasement
• Wash and dry your clothes regularly
• Clean your room regularly
• Learn how to identify bed bugs
• Report a bed bug problem if you think you have them
• If you are traveling and staying is a hotel, check your mattress and furniture for beds bugs before you settle in.

Don’t …

• Ignore bed bugs
• Treat bed bugs on your own
• Sleep on someone else’s bed or in someone else’s room if you believe they have bed bugs
• Visit your family until your treatment is complete
• Pick up furniture from trash and bring it back to your room to use as furniture or decoration
• Throw away all your belongings if you have bed bugs. Your belongings can be saved if treated by a professional

Resident Assistants and Hall Councils continually put on events within the residence halls. These events range from social events to educational. Educational programs focus on topics such as alcohol and drug awareness, fire safety, health and wellness, cultural awareness, academics, and many other topics. Examples of some social events may include ice cream socials to themed dance parties. If you are interested in seeing a particular event, you can talk to the staff or get involved in your Hall Council.

Residents can attend these events and meet other people from their building and get to know them. It’s a great opportunity to make new friends. These events are covered by the resident activity fee so that you can enjoy the events throughout the year without worrying about paying for them.

You or your belongings may not remain in your room over the summer. You must move everything out of your room for the summer break.
