Bedbug bill causes rash of debate in House subcommittee

Posted on February 1, 2012 by admin Click Here For Article

Little bugs opened a big debate in a House subcommittee hearing this afternoon.

Lawmakers heard conflicting – and at times graphic – testimony on legislation that would rewrite landlord-tenant law concerning bedbug infestations in rental housing.

The bill in question, House Study Bill 520, would add new requirements for tenants to report bedbug infestations to landlords, and potentially impose much more financial responsibility on tenants for exterminating those infestations.

Bedbugs are tiny parasites whose bites can cause itchy rashes. They thrive in furniture, linens and clothing, and are particularly problematic in multi-unit residences, where infestations can spread from one unit to adjacent ones.

(The specifics of their feeding habits on sleeping humans were described in graphic detail by one witness, prompting subcommittee Chairman Walt Rogers, R-Cedar Falls, to admonish him that some people had not yet eaten lunch.)

Infestations have become more common across the country in recent years, and several landlords and landlord groups testified this afternoon that lawsuits over bedbug remediation have become more common and costly.

Landlords describe current law as far too onerous on the owners of rental property, and said the remediation responsibilities and lawsuits now result threaten their ability to provide housing at a reasonable price.

“We are not attempting to put all burden and responsibility on the tenant,” said Iowa Landlord Association Vice President Rex McClaflin. “Rather, we want them to accept responsibility in addition to our own so that we can successfully deal with this appropriately and economically.”

“This is a very serious burden to the state of Iowa because … this has the potential of bankrupting landlords,” McClaflin added. “So it has to have some kind of resolution that’s fair and economical.”

The state Attorney General’s Office, however, views the bill as throwing the burden of bed-bug remediation far too heavily on the tenants.

Bill Brauch, the director of the office’s Consumer Protection Division, said he had “never seen legislation so unbalanced on one side against the other.”

Measures in the bill require tenants to inform landlords of bed-bug infestations within seven days of moving in or within 48 hours of noticing the presence of the insects, and put the tenant on the hook for the entire cost of exterminating the pests – including for other units in an apartment building – if they fail to comply within those time frames.

The takes away incentives for landlords to address the problem at all, and is particularly threatening for elderly, handicapped or less sophisticated tenants who may not understand their requirements for addressing an infestation, Brauch argued.

“We need the landlords to work with the tenants to try to find a way to prevent this,” he said. “But to shift this burden, legally and cost-wise, to the tenants is just wrong. It’s just wrong.”

The meeting adjourned after about an hour with no action taken by the three-lawmaker subcommittee. Rogers said the subcommittee members would discuss the issue further, and suggested another hearing could be held before a vote is taken on sending the bill to the House’s full Judiciary Committee.

More bedbugs discovered at North Mianus

Posted on February 1, 2012 by admin Click Here For Article

Exterminators called to North Mianus School after a bedbug was discovered there Wednesday found a few more of the insects Friday.

District spokeswoman Kim Eves said workers from Parkway Exterminating, based in Valhalla, N.Y., worked over the weekend to search and treat the area. The bugs were first found in a staff bathroom Wednesday, and three other live bugs were found in a classroom, in and around carpet squares stored near a wall that separates the staff bathroom and the classroom.

The exterminators discarded the carpet squares and also opened up a section of the wall between the two rooms to steam clean and vacuum it, Eves said.

The high heat from steam cleaning kills bedbugs and is often used to treat large areas, such as schools.

Eves said the exterminators also brought in bedbug monitors, which use carbon dioxide to attract the insects, which feed on human blood.

Parents were notified of the developments Monday via letters sent through the district's ParentLink system.

According to the letter, no further evidence of bedbugs was discovered after the building and bedbug monitors were checked on Sunday.

"The exterminator believes that the problem has been resolved," wrote North Mianus Principal Angela Schmidt. "However, as a precaution, we will continue to use the bedbug monitor every night this week to determine if there is any possible concern."

Coincidentally, the insects were first found at North Mianus the same day that the district held a forum to address the discovery of bedbugs at Hamilton Avenue School late last year.

At the forum, Dr. Gale Ridge from the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, and chair of the Connecticut Coalition Against Bed Bugs, gave advice to families who are concerned about their children bringing bedbugs home from school. She said parents can have their children remove their clothes and put them in the drier for 20 minutes, since the high heat kills the bugs. Parents can also inspect books and backpacks for the insects, which are flat, brown and about the size of an apple seed.

John Goeller, who has three children attending North Mianus, said he wasn't too worried about the discovery.

"I understand you get that many children together, you're always going to have something like that happen," Goeller said. "I appreciate what the town is doing about it, and certainly our school."

Nearly eradicated in the developed world after the 1950s, bedbugs have rapidly made a comeback over the past decade. International travel is believed to be the main culprit behind the resurgence, though Ridge said at the forum she believes international trade was likely to blame.

Emails about bedbug situation

Subject:     Potential Problem

Hey Corrine,

 

I may have a potential problem in my room. I've been getting bitten up pretty bad by something in my room since the winter break. I've found some small mites crawling around my room the last couple of days. Tonight, I encountered two bugs crawling around. I killed one of them, but got to thinking and managed to capture the other one in a styrofoam cup. The bug looks nothing like the photos of bed bugs that I've seen and it is way too small to be a bed bug, but I'm wondering if there might be some sort of mite problem in there. Would it be possible to have someone check it out? If I need to, I can show you the bug if it doesn't escape overnight.

 

Thanks.

 

Amanda

Amanda,

Please contact facilities today(2-1083) and let them know about the bugs in your room. With so many concerns with bugs lately, I'm guessing they will want to come look around your room and maybe spray the perimeter again since doing so in December. I will also cc Jim on this email so he is aware.

Subject:     Re: Weekly Update

Hey Corrine,

I could use a bit of advice on a matter. It is becoming pretty apparent to residents that there's something wrong with my room and the major repairs note isn't working. I'm thinking about sending out a note to residents, letting them know that there may be a problem in my room and that facilities is being cautious and treating the situation as a worst case scenario just to be safe. Any ideas on how I can approach this? I don't want to make my residents panic or anything, but they said that they're going to be doing the heating method on my room, and it'll be hard to hide the problem when the entire hallway and surrounding rooms feel as if they're in a sauna.

I'm also unable to take stuff out of my room for fear of spreading stuff. Is there any way that I could get a copy of whatever we'll be using from our staff binders tonight?

Thanks.

Amanda

Amanda,

I wouldn't recommend sending out a letter but if your residents are asking and you feel ok sharing, you can let them know that facilities is treating the room just to be cautious. If they would like to have their rooms checked just to be safe they are welcomed to call facitilies (2-1083) to schedule something.

Binder stuff: you can share with another RA tonight-we'll mostly be doing an activity and reading portion isn't so important.

Editor's Note: On Jan. 25, Amanda Wekesser, Selleck 8200 RA, posted the following message on her floor's private Facebook group titled, "Selleck 8200 Chicas 2011-2012."

For those who saw my board, I told y'all because it was the right thing to do and the information on the web is incorrect. It may not have been the best idea, but at least I was honest with y'all once I grew fully aware of the situation. I am not dirty or nasty. They are spread in a number of ways including via classrooms and unfortunately, I hit the lottery this time. Facilities is doing their part and every precaution is being taken in the matter. For those worried about catching them by being around me, you have nothing to worry about. I have been working with facilities and have been learning about it. Any time I have come in contact with anything in my room I have taken a shower and done everything I can to prevent the spread (I took SIX showers yesterday, just to keep y'all safe). All I have in my possession is my shower stuff and a few changes of thoroughly cleaned clothes. No books, no coat, no music or dvds...nothing...all I have for shoes is a pair of flip flops. It has been a very cold day or two and looking like we'll have snow in the forecast soon.
