Preventing bed bugs from spreading in an apartment building starts with recognizing the signs of an infestation. If you notice bites, or stains on your bedding, or see bed bugs, contact your landlord or property manager immediately. Acting quickly not only protects your home but also helps safeguard your neighbors. Early action can stop the bugs from invading neighboring units.
It’s true that bed bugs can travel through a building with ease. Their habit of hitching rides on backpacks, luggage, and more makes it surprisingly common for them to move between infested apartments. Given their slow rate of spread, early intervention is key to preventing an infestation from spreading further. Regular inspections and prompt reporting of any signs can help keep the problem under control.
Typically, landlords are responsible for the cost of exterminating bed bugs if the tenant does not bring them into the apartment. However, this responsibility can vary depending on state laws. Most states have regulations requiring landlords to hire pest control services. It’s also important to know that renters insurance usually does not cover bed bug infestations.
The most effective way to keep bed bugs out of your home is to avoid picking them up in the first place. A close second is hiring professional bed bug exterminators to handle any potential infestations.
Action Pest Control will examine your home or apartment building and formulate a comprehensive plan to treat and prevent bed bugs.
