Bed Bugs in Beltsville Apartments

Hitchhikers by nature, bed bugs get into apartments in Beltsville, Adelphi, College Park, and other areas by borrowing rides on clothing, luggage, and other belongings. Hiding places include mattress seams, mattress corner protectors and sheet seams. Although they are prone to live on and around mattresses, bed bugs can venture into other areas, hiding in crevices along walls and between baseboards and carpets. An apartment that looks immaculate when you move in could have bed bugs lurking in these hiding places. How long the apartment was vacant may not matter since bed bugs can survive up to a year or more without feeding.

Bed Bugs Can Infest Hotel Rooms in Beltsville

When you check into a Beltsville-area hotel, you should not expect to be pestered by bed bugs or bring them home with you. However, bed bugs can stow away in luggage, briefcases, and purses. When returning home from traveling, it is not unusual to place luggage or other bags on or near a bed before unpacking. Stow-away bed bugs will hide and reproduce in your home and typically go unnoticed until they need to feed and begin biting you or your family members.

Identifying Bed Bugs in a Beltsville Hotel or Apartment

Here is what you need to know about bed bugs if you stay in an apartment or hotel in the Adelphi or College Park area. Bed bugs are nocturnal, meaning that they usually come out at night. The size of a mature bed bug is similar in size to an apple seed. Baby bed bugs are about the size of a poppy seed and appear almost transparent until they feed on blood. The blood they consume is what gives bed bugs their brownish-red hue; after feeding, a bed bug appears darker. During a careful inspection of a hotel mattress where bed bugs are present, it is not unusual to see blood spots, bed bug feces, bed bugs, skins, and whitish bed bug eggs.

Emotional Distress From Exposure to Bed Bugs in Beltsville

Bed bug bites cause itchy welts, bumps, and irritation resembling mosquito bites. After being bitten by a bed bug, an individual can experience intense itching. Scratching the affected areas can break the skin, leading to bleeding, infections, pain and slow healing. After experiencing the bites, you may find it difficult, if not impossible, to get a good night’s sleep. Discovering bed bugs on the body can be a traumatic experience for adults and children. Sleep deprivation due to bed bugs is dangerous and carries over into other aspects of your life, putting you at risk for being unable to concentrate at work and while driving or operating machinery. Individuals who have experienced bed bug infestation as a result of traveling sometimes become fearful of staying in hotels.

What Should Someone Do If They Find Bed Bugs in a Beltsville Apartment or Hotel Room?

One of the problems with addressing bed bugs is that owners of places with infestations will often not admit that there is a problem. Hotel and apartment owners and managers try to dismiss bed bug bite claims, even when there is evidence. They deny the presence of the insects, ignore the concerns of travelers or tenants who have been affected, and sometimes go as far as blaming the victims. Trying to rid your home of bed bugs can be frustrating, and professional extermination is costly. If you have been exposed to bed bugs at apartments or hotels in Beltsville, you deserve compensation for your injuries or losses.
