Bed bugs are very popular again now. I am writing this post in order to share a bed bug policy for apartments that can help you (and your occupants) understand what the manager’s rights are in case there is a bed bug infestation or at least provide you with some information on the matter. Many apartment buildings do not provide tenants with any written information on what the leasing company will be doing to address any bed bug problems. This policy is in violation of Massachusetts law, although the Lease and Rental Agreement stipulates that the landlord “will exercise reasonable care to keep the premises in a fit and habitable condition.” When you’re searching for an apartment, you have probably not thought about Bed Bugs yet, but as soon as you start moving in all your belongings and unpack your bags, then it will occur to you that now that you’ve found a great apartment, the last thing you need is some creepy crawly roommates.

Bed Bug Policy For Apartments

We are committed to making sure all of our tenants are safe and comfortable in their homes. We have a specific policy designed to best deal with bed bug infestations.

We are committed to making sure all of our tenants are safe and comfortable in their homes. We have a specific policy designed to best deal with bed bug infestations, and we want to make sure you understand how it works.

Bed bugs are not a health hazard, since they do not carry disease; they are simply a nuisance. By taking steps to prevent an infestation from occurring in your apartment or unit, steps that can be taken by all tenants regardless of where the insects came from (e.g., through luggage), you should never need our assistance for treatment with chemicals or heat treatments. In fact, these treatments may even cause damage if applied incorrectly by untrained persons!

We’re here to help you get rid of bed bugs fast—and ensure that it doesn’t happen again!

First, we want to make sure that if you suspect bed bugs, please contact us right away. We will send a trained person to your home to inspect for the presence of bed bugs and confirm the extent of any infestation.

If you suspect bed bugs, please contact us right away. We will send a trained person to your home to inspect for the presence of bed bugs and confirm the extent of any infestation.

If you are able to confirm that you have a bed bug issue, we will work with you on next steps, including ensuring that all units in your building are treated as quickly as possible.

If you believe there may be an infestation, but cannot fully confirm it (for example because finding live or dead bed bugs has not been possible), we also encourage you to contact us immediately so that we may begin working with our pest control company and take appropriate action.

If there are bed bugs, we will then begin our 2-part treatment process. First, we will treat individual units with pesticides to eradicate any problem areas. Second, we will make sure your building is treated to prevent the spread of bedbugs.

If there are bed bugs, we will then begin our 2-part treatment process. First, we will treat individual units with pesticides to eradicate any problem areas within that particular unit. Second, we will make sure your building is treated to prevent the spread of bedbugs.

This process works because it requires both parties: you and us (the landlord). To make sure this second step happens successfully, you need to be willing to cooperate with us by keeping your apartment clean while we’re working on treating your building. This means no sleeping in your apartment during this time; unfortunately this means that if you have a pet or children who sleep with you at night, they won’t be able to spend the night in their own beds during this time either! We know this isn’t ideal but it’s necessary for proper treatment success rates and overall healthiness around apartments—and especially in yours where bugs may already be present.

If there are no problems after two weeks (which should happen quickly), then congratulations! You’ve successfully defeated Bed Bugs!

Treating individual units with pesticides is effective for keeping these pests at bay IF the rest of the building is also treated and monitored for signs of new infestations. If your unit is being treated, but you have noticed any signs of bed bugs in other parts of your building, please let us know so that we can schedule a treatment.

Bed bugs are not limited by walls. Bed bugs can travel from apartment to apartment in the walls, so if your unit is treated but you notice signs of new infestation in other parts of your building, please let us know so that we can schedule a treatment for those areas as well.

Our bed bug treatments are effective if tenants take part in the process. This means preparing for treatment by removing all clutter from floors before treatment day, carefully coordinating the timing of treatment with your techncian, and following up on directions about pesticide application in effected units.

Bed bug elimination is a collaborative effort. Our team will do everything we can to make sure you have a successful bed bug treatment. However, as with any pest control program, we cannot guarantee complete elimination if tenants take part in the process. That’s because preparation is key to success: it’s vital that all clutter be removed from floors before treatment day and that proper coordination takes place between our technicians and tenants. In addition, we ask that tenants follow up on directions about pesticide application in effected units after treatment has been completed (this is especially important).

If you think you might have a bed bug problem or issue with a tenant who does, please contact our office right away so that we can help get things back on track quickly and efficiently!
