Certificate In Public Health Inspection (CIPHI) BOC Practice Test

What should you do with items that cannot be cleaned during bed bug treatment?

Keep items Throw out items/furniture unable to be cleaned Donate Store in attic

Correct Answer:

Throw out items/furniture unable to be cleaned

Explanation:

When bed bugs can’t be effectively cleaned from an item, discard it to prevent re-infestation. Bed bugs hide in seams, stuffing, and hidden corners, and some items can’t be treated thoroughly or safely. Keeping or reusing such items risks surviving bugs that can quickly reinfest the home, while donating could spread pests to others, and storing the item in an attic doesn’t remove the problem. The practical move is to remove the uncleanable item from the living space and dispose of it according to local guidelines, so the treatment can succeed and the infestation won’t rebound.
