Rescuing a free mattress or recliner from an alley can be tempting if you’re looking to furnish your apartment cheap. However, it can also lead to uninvited pests. In particular, these free furniture pieces may carry Bed Bugs and their eggs, which are permanent until Tucson pest control services are contacted. If you are currently dealing with an apartment Bed Bug infestation, Arizona is one of the few states that has developed laws on the appropriate way to address bed bugs in apartments.
In Arizona, there are specific Bed Bug rules that a landlord and tenant must follow. Bed Bugs can easily spread to more than one apartment, so managers are legally required to hire a licensed exterminator to treat the problem.
The sooner you notify your apartment manager, the sooner he or she can hire a Tucson exterminator and prevent the Bed Bug infestation from spreading. Your apartment manager will also be able to brief you on the apartment complex’s specific protocol for treating Bed Bugs.
Trying out over-the-counter treatments on your own can actually make the problem worse. Many of the Bed Bug insecticides or hardware pesticides won’t be able to effectively remove the infestation. In the meantime, waiting to notify management gives the Bed Bug infestation time to spread to other nearby apartments. If you fail to follow correct legal procedures of promptly notifying your manager, you may be liable for the costs of treating other affected apartments.
Your manager will work with you to treat your Bed Bug infestation. Once you notify him or her of the infestation, you can also ask for advice on treating your personal items, like clothing and furniture. It’s usually recommended that you treat your clothing and sheets in hot water.Essential Pest Management has developed a Power Pest Program to deal with unwanted desert invaders.
