Tenants in Nashua New Hampshire, dont have to let bed bugs control their lives. To help prevent the spread of bed bugs in New Hampshire, new legislation concerning the management of bed bugs by landlords and tenants was enacted in 2013 and 2014. Under the new laws, landlords are required to take action within seven days after bed bug infestation is reported. Willful failure to investigate or address the problem is a violation that may result in a charge of contempt and contempt damages. After being notified of an infestation, a landlord is allowed emergency entry into the affected unit for 72 hours. Tenants must be given written instructions for unit preparation prior to remediation, and in most cases, landlords are required to pay for all remediation costs.

Signs of bed bug infestation include the presence of live or dead insects, black specks of fecal matter and blood stains in and around your mattresses, linens, upholstered furniture, baseboards and window coverings.You may also notice unusual odors emanating from your bedding and skin lesions that appear overnight. Bed bug infestation is a common problem in hotels, resorts, dormitories and airports. Current bed bug sightings are documented by theNew Hampshire Bed Bug Registry.If youre planning a trip to the area, its a good idea to check the registry for updated reports before making your travel arrangements.

Because most bed bugs gain access to your house by hitchhiking in your luggage or inside furniture or boxes, preventing infestation requires diligent care when traveling or bringing new items into your home. Before unpacking your suitcase, inspect delicate items closely, and wash all other clothing in hot water. Never place your suitcase or other items directly on flooring surfaces when traveling. If youre already a victim of bed bug infestation, heat remediation is the most effective way to solve the problem. Chemical products may be useful in areas that cannot tolerate heat. To ensure the best results, contact a professional pest control company.

Central Illinois struggles to find solution for bed bugs – Moline Dispatch – Quad-Cities Online

Posted on July 27, 2017 by admin Click Here For Article

DECATUR, Ill. (AP) A resurgence of bed bugs has cities in central Illinois scurrying for answers of how to tackle the issue.

Bed bugs are becoming a problem in places such as Decatur because there's no funding for prevention and extermination, the Herald & Reviewreported. The small, flat, brown bugs that bite don't carry a disease, which causes them to be excluded from falling under the authority of governmental organizations, such as state health departments.

"Nobody in the city of Decatur and Macon County as a whole has jurisdiction over bed bugs," said Kathy Wade, Macon County Health Department's director of environmental health. "We don't have the funding to help, and the city doesn't have the funding to help. We can't track them. We have started keeping a list of how many calls come in, but we don't map them out."

The bugs are attracted to warm bodies, spread easily, and are difficult and expensive to eliminate. They've been found in a variety of places, including hotels, apartment buildings, homes, restaurants and churches.

"I don't think anyone saw it coming and hitting as hard as we got hit in Macon County," Wade said. "In the last week and a half, we've taken eight calls on bedbugs here. It is a problem."

To try and resolve the issue, Macon County formed the Bed Bug Coalition, which includes the city, landlords, business owners, schools, health and social service organizations.

Scott Fisher of Scottie's Pest Control in Decatur said bed bugs typically are eliminated through three treatments. Treatments prices range from $250 to $1,000 per treatment, depending on the size of the dwelling.

"It's not a one-time shot it's a procedure," Fisher said. "We use chemicals with residuals and direct-contact killing agents."

Fisher, who has worked in pest control for nearly 40 years, said he began seeing bed bugs pop up about seven or eight years ago. He said now he performs two bed bug jobs a week.

The suit states the leasing office sent someone to do an inspection, who confirmed the confirmed the presence of bed bugs in the apartment and told plaintiffs the infestation had been in apartment for a while.

"Defendants fraudulently and intentionally concealed the fact their property had a prior bedbug problem from plaintiffs in order to fraudulently induce plaintiffs to rent the property," the complaint said.

The plaintiffs claim because of the bed bug infestation it caused them to suffer personal injuries and property damages. The plaintiffs also say they have incurred cleaning, extermination, attorney fees and other costs.

The plaintiffs claim they are suffering or will continue to suffer past and future medical, pharmaceutical and hospital expenses, past and future pain and suffering, past and future mental anguish, past and future mental anguish, past and future physical impairment, lost wages, property damage, exemplary damages, plus court costs.

The complaint also claims that the defendants have had prior bed bug infestation problems and despite this knowledge, defendants have failed to take reasonable steps to prevent further infestations.

According to Wikipedia, bed bugs are parasitic insects that feed exclusively blood and preferably human blood. Most bed bugs are active at night and they feed without being noticed. Health effects include allergic symptoms, psychological effects and most notably skin rashes.
