Although these bed bug facts can be interesting to outsiders, residents of Los Angeles and the surrounding areas should not be happy about these rankings. With bed bug infestations growing in residential areas as well as commercial areas, it is important for local tenants and landlords to understand what causes bed bugs and how to eliminate them.
One of the best resources for local residents living in Los Angeles is the Department of Public Health. This government organization is designed to help residents deal with issues that affect their health and safety. If you have a dispute with landlord/tenant about bed bugs you should contact your local office to have an inspector come to your residents.
When you have submitted a report with the Department of Public Health they will send an inspector to your home. According to this Yelp review, the investigator needs to actually find a live bed bug in your home in order to fill out an official report. If you dont have a competent investigator there is a good chance that they will miss signs of bed bugs. It is important to understand how to thoroughly inspect a home for bed bugs to ensure that the investigator does a thorough inspection.
When it comes to removing bed bugs in a home, the burden of responsibility often falls on the landlord. If there is a dispute between the landlord and a tenant you should consider contacting your local health office at the contact below. A recent NBC investigative report helped a tenant finally get her landlord to remove the bed bugs that were infesting her home.
