BED BUG INFESTATIONS IN APARTMENTS

Bed bugs can quickly infest entire apartment buildings in Bethesda, Rockville, and Silver Spring. When bed bugs are able to enter one apartment, they can spread throughout the building and infest multiple units. In the state of Maryland, apartments are required to be free of insect infestations at the time that a tenant moves in. Landlords owe a duty of care to promptly treat and eradicate bed bugs when they are discovered. A landlord who rents an apartment that is infested with bed bugs to a tenant or who fails to treat and eradicate bed bugs that are found during the term of the lease may be responsible for the resulting damages.

BED BUG INFESTATIONS IN GERMANTOWN HOTELS

Hotels are another common place where bed bug infestations can take hold. Bed bugs can catch rides on people’s clothing or luggage and infest a room. Like apartment complexes, hotels that have bed bugs in one area can quickly become completely infested. Hotel operators and owners must treat infested rooms and avoid booking them until they are pest-free. They should also promptly treat any bed bug infestations that are found throughout the property. When they fail to do so, they may be liable to pay damages to guests who are bitten.\

IDENTIFYING BED BUGS

Bed bugs are tiny insects that feed on blood. The adult bugs are oval-shaped and reddish-brown. They are approximately the size of apple seeds. Bed bugs are nocturnal and hide, so people often do not see them. They leave telltale signs such as reddish-brown stains on mattresses and sheets, and people may wake up with bites after sleeping.

If you think that you might have bed bugs, you can use a flashlight to check between the seams of your mattress and along the edges of your upholstered furniture. Bed bugs can also be found in electrical outlets and behind loosened sections of wallpaper. They might be found anywhere there are tiny cracks or places for them to hide.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF YOU HAVE BED BUGS?

If you believe that you have bed bugs in your apartment or hotel room, you should immediately report them to your landlord or the hotel’s front desk. You may also want to notify the Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services. Bed bugs need to be treated immediately to prevent them from spreading. If you are a tenant, you may need to discard upholstered furniture and your mattresses and replace them. Bed bug bites can result in a great deal of emotional distress as well.
