Residents and retailers of NJ and NYC and elsewhere, may be interested to know that according to the Boston Herald a federal judge cleared Bob’s Discount Furniture of any negligence in a lawsuit brought by a family who claimed the furniture store was responsible for bringing a bed bugs infestation to their home. This should indicate to residents of NJ, NYC, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens and even Manhattan that it can be difficult to prove to a judge where a bed bug infestation actually came from.

The plaintiffs claimed a white maple bedroom set they purchased from Bob’s Discount Furniture came to their home infested with bed bugs. The plaintiffs claimed the family had to sleep on the kitchen floor. It seems that bed bugs can find people sleeping on kitchen floors and not just find their victims in beds.

The judge determined that strong evidence was not provided which indicated the bed bugs came in the frame instead of finding their way into the frame from another source in the house. That makes sense. This might be an important case for retailers in NJ, NYC and other parts of the country.

If you have NJ, NYC, Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens or Brooklyn bed bugs ask a NJ, NYC bed bugs pest control company to eliminate the odious insects.

Cockroaches usually do not show up during the day because they are nocturnal insects. Since they are rarely seen, you may not be aware that your home is infested with cockroaches, even if it is. If you happen to see cockroaches during the day, it is likely that your home is already heavily infested.

It is important to detect the presence of cockroaches in your home as soon as possible. Cockroaches usually hide in dark places during the day, behind sinks, stoves, refrigerators, and washing machines, as well as in narrow cracks in the walls or underneath mats or furniture. They always try to avoid well-lit areas in the house, and they are rather difficult to spot.

However, cockroaches do leave some marks around the house when they come out at night. Fecal marks are one of the sure signs that your house is infested with cockroaches. The droppings of adult cockroaches are cylindrical in shape, while young cockroaches leave feces that look like black powder. You can judge the level of cockroach infestation in your home by the amount of droppings you find.

Some cockroaches also emit a musty and oily smell, which will become stronger as the infestation becomes more severe. Another sign that shows that cockroaches are present in your home is cockroach egg cases. These cases are oval-shaped, and they can be found in hidden places such as gaps between books or behind furniture.

Long term residents of a motel situated in Staten Island have filed a lawsuit against the motel owner. They claim they have been attacked by bed bugs and are asking for unspecified monetary damages. Bed bug lawsuits are becoming more common.

The owner of the motel claims that any bed bugs in the motel were brought there by the residents themselves. Since bed bugs can’t talk they make terrible witnesses and thus it’s very difficult to determine who brought the little critters to the motel. The owner also stated that they spray the rooms every day. He didn’t mention if professionals were spraying the rooms or if amateurs using standard bug spray were providing the treatments. Bug sprays don’t kill the annoying bed bugs.

NJ and NYC hotel and motel owners used to be concerned about cockroaches, spiders and perhaps some mice. I’m not sure they are concerned about getting slapped with a cockroach lawsuit but bed bugs lawsuits can be expensive and bad for public relations. It’s not easy being a NJ or NYC hotel or motel owner.

If you have NJ, NYC, Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx or Brooklyn bed bugs ask a NJ, NY bed bugs pest control expert to destroy them.

The population of squirrels in New York and New Jersey has been increasing this year because of the warm weather. Furthermore, the effects of El Nino-La Nina in the northeast will reduce the amount of snowfall during the winter months. The warmer conditions will bring about a drastic increase in the population of squirrels. In fact, many local residents have reported that more squirrels are showing up around their homes.

The most common type of squirrel that is found in New York and New Jersey is the grey squirrel. While most ground squirrels hibernate during the winter months, grey squirrels remain active. These squirrels usually dwell in trees, but they will move to warmer places during winter. Homes and buildings that leak heat will be the prime targets for these animals.

Squirrels are intelligent animals, and they will work on any possibility to get into a home. If there is a damaged trim around the house that reveals a small opening, they will make a hole that is big enough for them to get through. They can also get into a house through an exposed soffit. Once they get inside the house, they can cause a lot of problems, and it is difficult to get rid of them.

If you need to get rid of squirrels in your home, you can get assistance from NY, NYC, and NJ pest control experts.

NJ and NYC residents and people living in Idaho and elsewhere may be interested to know that a Holiday Inn located in the Chicago area is being sued by customers who claim they rented a bed bug infested hotel room. They go on to claim that they unknowingly brought the bed bugs home with them which cost them money and caused them physical and psychological injuries. They want $50,000. They also state that the Holiday Inn did not exterminate the bed bug infestation and knowingly rented the room.

Well, it will be interesting to see if they can prove that Holiday Inn knew that the room had a bed bug infestation. I didn’t read anything about the visitors taking pictures of the bed bugs in the hotel room with a cell phone or a camera. Perhaps the bed bugs in their home originally came from a popular restaurant, a quaint book store or a movie theater. Yes, it is possible the insects actually came from the Holiday Inn.

It will be interesting to see if Holiday Inn settles out of court in order to stop the negative publicity.

If you have NJ, NYC, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens or Manhattan bed bugs ask a NJ, NYC bed bugs pest control expert to get rid of them.

Contrary to popular belief, cockroach infestation does not only occur in places that are unclean, although cockroaches do feel more at home in messy environments. They can live and breed in the cleanest of places because they can survive with very limited means. These hardy creatures only need a little food, water, and warmth to survive, and they can find these in just about any home.

There are a number of ways that cockroaches can get into your home. They can get into your grocery bag or briefcase when you are shopping or at work, and you may bring them home without knowing it. Cockroaches can also enter your home through pipes, small gaps around windows and doors, and other openings. They can pass through holes that are as narrow as one-fifteenth of an inch.

Once they are in your home, they will find a place that is warm and dark to hide and breed, usually behind cupboards, holes or cracks in walls, under the sink, and other places. They can multiply at a tremendous rate, with one female cockroach being able to produce hundreds of offspring in just one month.

To eliminate cockroach infestation in your home, you can call NY, NYC, and NJ pest control experts.

Stern Environmental to the Rescue

Stern Environmental is advertising pest control services on moving objects. No, not on the sleeves of pedestrians or hawks; on buses. The owner Douglas Stern is regarded as the region’s top bed bug expert and he knows how to eliminate the odious insects. He has also thoroughly reviewed numerous new bed bug products and has selected a collection of quality bed bug products which are available at this website.

Twenty years ago if people had seen city buses carrying advertisements for bed bugs services they might have been befuddled but now most people in NYC, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens and all over the country are aware of the terrible bed bugs and know that bed bug pest control services are in demand. When selecting a pest control service to eliminate bed bugs make sure they have a good track record.

By the way, Stern Environmental is now using bed bug sniffing dogs. These knights in shining fur are incredible at finding bed bugs. The pooches that work for Stern Environmental are highly trained at locating the odor of bed bugs. They notify their human handler of the location of the critters by a short text message. Nah, but if you have bed bugs these canines will find them.

Rats are not just pests in New York City; they are a threat to public safety. Other than doing all the horrible things that ordinary rats do, such as stealing food and spreading diseases, New York rats are known to attack human beings. These four-legged New Yorkers are not your regular timid little creatures that scamper to the nearest hiding place at the sound of a footstep. With a well-coordinated effort, they can bring down anything from a cat to a human being.

Many residents in New York City have seen rats attack children as well as adults in tenements and alleyways, even in broad daylight. While some people managed to escape with only slight wounds on their legs, others were hospitalized or even killed. A number of homeless people had died because of rat attacks. Efforts to bring in cats and dogs to combat the rat problem have failed miserably, because New York rats are big (just slightly smaller than cats) and fierce, and they can attack intelligently as a group.

As a safety measure, residents of New York City should try to stay away from alleyways and sewer openings when walking on the streets at night.

If you need professional help to take care of rat problems in your home, you can contact pest control experts in NY and NJ.
