Bedbug bill causes rash of debate in House subcommittee

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

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.

UNL Housing cooperation during bedbug situation raises concerns

Since the afternoon of Jan. 23, Amanda Wekesser has not been able to sleep in her own bed, have access to all of her clothes or complete her homework.

Wekesser is a Selleck Quadrangle resident assistant at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln whose room was infested with live bedbugs. And she said she wasn't allowed to tell her residents.

"It's not fair that I'd be asked to hide this from them," Wekesser said. "(My residents) could be at risk and not even know it, because Housing is trying to hide it."

"It's like the Iron Curtain," she said.

On Jan. 24, University Housing reported on its website that "a single dead bedbug was found" in the Selleck Quadrangle 8000 building.

But Wekesser said what transpired in her room was far from "dead."

When she came back from winter break for spring RA training on Jan. 6, she said she began noticing bites on her neck, shoulders, back, arms and legs.

"At first, I thought it was some sort of allergic reaction to the swimming pool," Wekesser said. "They started getting better after a couple of days and putting on calamine lotion. I didn't consider going over to the health center."

But some of the bites got to be so bad, she used green masking tape on her bites to prevent from scratching as she slept.

Two weeks later, Wekesser caught two tiny bugs crawling around her room. She killed the first on her futon and caught the second in a Styrofoam cup. Wekesser taped clear plastic wrap over the cup so the bug wouldn't escape.

She contacted Selleck residence director Corrine Gernhart via email on Jan. 23 about finding what she called "mites" in her room.

"Please contact facilities today and let them know about the bugs in your room," Gernhart wrote back. "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."

Facilities confirmed the "mite" had all the traits of a baby bedbug and gave Wekesser a laundry card to thoroughly do her laundry, she said. She was moved to a temporary room on a different floor.

Brooks Exterminating Service did not come until Jan. 24, and Wekesser said only a few things were sprayed, not the entire room.

"They figured a heat treatment would be a better option," she said.

In the days leading up to the heat treatment scheduled for Jan. 28, Wekesser said she asked about holding a floor meeting or sending a letter to her residents. The answer was no.

She said her instructions were to tell her residents her room was under extensive repairs, and only if her residents asked her.

"So I wrote it down briefly (on both of my doors) so I was doing what they said and so I could think about it," Wekesser said.

In an email, Gernhart wrote that she wouldn't recommend Wekesser sending a letter to her residents.

"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," Gernhart wrote.

But the deal was Wekesser could only inform her residents if she was asked directly.

Wekesser said on Jan. 25 she wrote on both her temporary and original rooms' doors that her room had been confirmed: It had bedbugs.

She also posted a note on her group's private Facebook page and slipped notes under a few of her residents' doors.

"I am not dirty or nasty," she wrote on her doors. "I feel that y'all should know about the situation though. I would want to know what was going on if I were in your position."

Wekesser only left the notes on the board long enough for her residents to see them and before a Housing employee could notice the notes.

"I'm willing to lose my job if need be, because this isn't right for them to not let the truth be known," Wekesser said. "I don't think it's right."

On Jan. 27, Gernhart sent a draft email to Wekesser, Residence Life associate director Keith Zaborowski and two others. The email told Wekesser's residents that "one dead bed bug was found" in Wekesser's room and a heat treatment would occur the next morning.

Gernhart wrote that the email needed to be sent because "I don't want them to think we are hiding anything from them when they notice the team on Saturday morning."
