A news channel station from upstate New York posted a segment where the landlord is stepping in and helping tenants with their bed bug issues. Not all apartment complexes are cover under bed bugs because althought they are a bug nuisance, they do not pose as a health threat.

Our friends over at K-9 Sweeps posted a news video on eliminating bed bugs. Like New York, Las Vegas has been battling the bed bug epidemic too. One tenant in a condo complex got fed up when bug bugs continued to bite her night after night. News 13 was called in to help. Management agreed to spray her condo but that is not enough to kill them. Spraying the room does not get rid of the bed bugs. Heat is the best approach. Temperatures that exceed 114 degrees will kill the bugs in any stage. K-9 Sweeps brought in their bed bug sniffing dog, Sarah, who can detect where all the bed bug hot spots are. We have a similar dog, Trixie. The canine dog can sniff where bed bug eggs are, unlike humans that cannot see the tiny particles. Check out the video!
This morning, an ongoing bill passed that will hopefully manage the bed bug discrepancy between landlords and tenants in New York City. The new bill is an amended bill from a previous bill which required landlords to inform the tenants of bed bug infestation only in the past five years. The new bill, which was made by an assembly member Linda B. Rosenthal, now requires landlords to inform the tenants of bed bug infestations which in the past 12 months. The consequences for the landlord are still undetermined if they don’t comply but the penalty will be imposed once the bill becomes a law, which will be in the near future. Only New York City has passed this type of law, which is the first recorded in the country, so if you have a bed bug problem or would like a inspection feel free to contact us by phone, 800-479-2284, email, live chat, twitter or facebook. Remember, don’t let the bed bugs bite!
