Ellicott City Bed Bug Apartment Infestations

In Maryland, the law requires apartment owners to keep their apartments free from insect infestations at the time they are rented or leased. When people move into Ellicott City apartments and discover that they are infested with bed bugs, they might suffer economic losses, property losses, and emotional trauma. That’s not to mention the actual bed bug bites that could lead to scarring and other health issues. By filing bed bug bite claims, victims may recover compensation to pay for their losses, and they might also be able to break their leases. It’s not uncommon for bed bugs to spread from one infested apartment to another. That’s why landlords have the responsibility of eradicating bed bugs when they are found. If they fail to take remedial action, they could be liable to the tenants who suffered harm.

Bed bug infestations in hotel rooms can be particularly insidious. The bugs may hitch rides home with people on their clothing or luggage and subsequently infest their homes. Bed bugs can infest all types of hotels and do not discriminate based on their ratings. Hotels in Ellicott City have a duty of care to keep their rooms free of pests, including bed bugs. When a hotel rents out a room that is infested with bed bugs, this constitutes a breach of the duty of care.

Hotel guests might wake up when they are bitten at night or awaken in the morning with bed bug bites. When hotels discover bed bugs, managers are supposed to take immediate steps to eradicate them. Furthermore, hotels should not rent infested rooms until the infestation is ended.

The Appearance of Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are tiny insects with bodies that are shaped like apple seeds. They are reddish-brown and may either look flat or ballooned out, depending on how recently they have fed. Bed bugs feed on blood and are nocturnal. This means that they commonly come out at night to feed on unsuspecting sleepers.

Where Bed Bugs Hide

Bed bugs are not easy to find because they hide. You can check for bed bugs with a flashlight by looking in the seams of your mattress and your furniture. You can also check in cracks and crevices on your bed frame and nightstand. Bed bugs often hide inside of electrical outlets and behind loosened wallpaper.
