Bedbugs
If you have ever been tucked into bed by your mother or father, odds are you have probably heard the saying, "Don't let the bedbugs bite." Of course no one actually falls asleep expecting to wage a battle with menacing bugs all night. In fact, many people do not even know that bedbugs actually exist. According to several leading pest control companies, however, reports of bedbug infestations are on the rise in recent years. The apple seed-resembling bugs, which are attracted by human body heat, are reportedly causing serious problems at hotels and motels across the country.
Bedbugs live on mattresses, carpets, clothing, luggage, bedding and furniture. Any infestation requires a professional chemical treatment, which can be quite expensive. Plaintiffs have filed several lawsuits accusing hotel and motel operators of negligence and fraud because they knew of bedbug infestations in certain rooms but failed to contact an exterminator or properly warn overnight guests.
Bedbugs can be a physical and financial nightmare for hotel guests sleeping in an infested room. Bites leave large red welts and have caused reactions in people allergic to the bugs' saliva. Using clothing and luggage as a method of transportation, bedbugs will reportedly travel home with a hotel guest after they have checked out. Several families were forced to hire expensive exterminators, throw out infested clothing and bedding and move out of their homes until a full extermination was completed.
If you have been the victim of bedbug infestation, it may be important to contact an attorney who can help you protect your legal rights. Please keep in mind that there may be time limits within which you must commence suit.
