Veterans living with bed bugs in building not zoned for residential use

Posted on December 16, 2014 by pcenet Click Here For Article

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. -

Bed bugs, broken doors, and a moldy bathroom describes the condition that Local 10 News found some South Florida veterans living in a Pompano Beach building zoned for "heavy business" use and recently cited for renting a unit which the violation read is an improper use.

Several were stacked in a room; another veteran was sleeping in a closet.

The veterans who spoke with Local 10 said they were placed there by the Veterans In Need Foundation, which is located on the first floor of 1350 S. Dixie Highway.

Michael Janet, a Navy combat veteran in Vietnam, told Local 10 the organization is not delivering the services it promises when it solicits money from people at rest stops all across South Florida.

"These are veterans who have served with dignity and honor and deserve better treatment," Janet said. "They deserve a clean place to sleep (and) a clean mattress to sleep. Take some of that money that is given to you and give it to the veterans, provide better living conditions, doing things that you say in this brochure."

On a Veterans In Need Foundation solicitation card obtained by Local 10, the organization writes that donations collected will provide "free temporary housing assistance for homeless veterans." Janet said he was asked by the organization's leader, Joseph Haddy, to pay more than $500 in rent from his Veteran Affairs-issued benefits check.

When Haddy "found out how much I get from my veteran's check, then I was told I need to pay $535 a month to live there," Janet said. "I asked the other veterans who received veteran's checks. Some of those guys would pay $400. He charged you what he wanted to. It wasn't no set price. I thought that was unfair. I had to move out. The bed bug infestation was so bad. It was so bad I just had to move out. I would rather sleep out under the stars out on the streets than have to sleep in a place like that."

Vietnam veteran Roger Jones told Local 10 News consumer advocate Christina Vazquez that he was currently paying $400 in rent from his $1,000 a month VA check to live in his upstairs unit. He said the four other men sharing two small bedrooms covered their rent from donations they collected from the public.

Bed bugs are biting: Can Casper stop them?

Posted on December 16, 2014 by admin Click Here For Article

CASPER, Wyo. Christopher Stratton lives on the second floor at the Star Apartments. There is no artwork on his walls. He has no furniture, no bed. He sleeps on a military blanket and pillow on the floor. Since moving in on March 7, he claims he hasnt had a good nights sleep.

Strattons apartment is infested with bed bugs. Squished bodies of those hes killed stick to his walls. Festering open wounds cover his arms. The outlines of old bite marks are still visible on his neck.

Theyre hungry little buggers unfortunately, he said, surveying the apartment. Really, we didnt want to bring anything in.

Stratton has a girlfriend who lives at her grandparents' in Casper. She has two children. They dont bring them by the apartment.

Its hard to live that way, he said. Its not an environment that anyone should live in.

The number of reported bed bug cases in Casper is rising, according to the Casper-Natrona County Health Department. As Stratton's case demonstrates, there is little the city can do about it.

Stratton reported his case to the Health Department after a visit to the emergency room Saturday. The department took his complaint and said it would be in touch with the apartments management. He was offered this recommendation: Leave the apartment and go to the Central Wyoming Rescue Mission, a homeless shelter.

A cook at McDonald's who pays $600 a month to live at the Star Apartments, Stratton was insulted.

I have a job. Being told I should go to a homeless shelter, he said, Id rather see the problem fixed.

John Drinnon, environmental health division director for the Health Department, called Strattons case pretty alarming, but said there was not much his department could do.

Bed Bug Report for Wilderness Hotel & Golf Resort …

Posted on December 16, 2014 by admin Click Here For Article

Anonymous on 10/16/2014

My family and I recently stayed at the Wilderness Resort for a weekend vacation. I almost always inspect a hotel for bedbugs, however for this trip we didn't arrive until very late Friday evening. My niece was already sleeping in the room and our infant was ready for bed when we arrived, so we quickly got settled and went to bed. I woke up Saturday morning with two bites on my neck, which I assumed to be either spider or mosquito bites. We didn't think too much of it and went about our day.

Sunday morning I woke up with several more clusters of bites on my arm and neck. After doing research on the pattern and type of bites, we discovered they were identical to that of bedbugs.

I called first thing Monday morning to discuss the bedbug situation. The woman I spoke with stated that she would speak to housekeeping and would call me back. After waiting 24 hours with not hearing back, I decided to send an email and include pictures of my arm and neck. After about 6 hours from sending the email, I received a phone call from Josh Jones, manager at the Wilderness. He did report that there was some spotting found and one dead bug, that there was most likely a minor infestation in the room. He stated that the room had been taken out of order and was going to be heat treated and exterminated. He apologized and stated the cost of our room would be refunded to us. He also asked if there was anything additional they could do to help us out.

Kudos to the manager for admitting they had found evidence of bedbugs and for the positive customer service. Unfortunately, I just don't think I can stay here again after being through this. Even though they are following correct protocol to treat the bedbugs, I'm completely grossed out by the thought of bedbugs, especially after being bitten several times and dealing with the after effects of the bedbug bites. I'm just praying that my infant daughter doesn't have bites emerge in the next couple days or that we somehow brought any creatures back home (we made sure to launder every item we had with us, including luggage).

If you go to the Wilderness, the waterpark area was great...please though, make sure to thoroughly inspect the room prior to unpacking and sleeping in the beds.

Bitten on 01/20/2014

Stayed there January 11, 2014. Didn't even think about bedbugs for the amount we paid to stay there. First bites didn't show up for a few days, then more. Met two out of town friends there and they both had bites show up later as well, so we are sure that we all got them from the Glacier Canyon lodge at the Wildnerness - we stayed on the third floor.

Anonymous on 01/15/2014

July 18-21, 2013. We stayed in a two-bedroom condo on the fourth floor of Glacier Canyon Lodge. While we did not see bedbugs when we were there, we subsequently had an infestation in our home. While we are not 100 percent sure that they came from this hotel, it is our best guess.

Bed Bugs in Arizona

Posted on December 16, 2014 by admin Click Here For Article

If you look around, there are a lot of websites offering a variety of different "do-it-yourself" products for people who can not afford to have an exterminator take care of the problem professionaly. However, this may wind up costing you lots of time and money while not really solving the problem. True, you could spend less money, but after considering the likelihood that you will actually get rid of those pests, you may be inclined to just let the pros handle it. In Mesa and Phoenix, Arizona Arizona Bug Busters specializes in removing bed bugs, and they highly recommend their bed bug heat treatment to do away with bed bugs for good.

When trying to treat your room by yourself, several questions come up. Are you going to treat your pillows and sheets? You may want to just throw them away. And what if the bugs are not in your mattress at the time that you seal it in a cover? What if some of them are actually in the bedframe during your treatment? The truth is, you don't know for sure where all of them are at the time that you treat your room.

This is why it is highly recommended to just pay the cost for your room or entire home to be heat treated with extreme heat from direct-fire propane heaters. Arizona Bug Busters does this at a fraction of the cost of most of their competitors.
