Bed Bugs Invade Ohio

Bedbugs have become a problem in areas throughout the United States and Ohio, said Susan Jones, entomologist with Ohio State University Extension.
The bedbug problem appears to be growing. There doesn’t seem to be a single reason as to why bedbugs are making such a surge, Jones said. However, bedbugs have always been a [...]
Your bed bug questions answered
Bed bugs tend to aggregate together when they are resting. It is possible that you are on the “bed bug side” of the bed. Bed bugs don’t switch back and forth from one host to another so if they find you first, you may be the only one bitten. It is also possible that your husband is getting bitten but does not have a significant reaction to the bed bug bites.
Landlords vs. Tenants: Who Pays When Bed Bugs Invade?
Under current New York and New Jersey law, apartment owners bear the responsibility and financial expense of providing housing that is rat-free, roach-free and now bed bug-free.

Bed Bug Travel Tips
Before booking a hotel room, you may want to read user reviews of the particular hotel and location — frequently, guests who’ve had bug problems report them online. Check the National Bed Bug registry http://www.bedbugregistry.com. Bear in mind that a report about one hotel does not mean the issue wasn’t isolated to one room, or that hotel management hasn’t since exterminated.
