It’s been reported that Rihanna and Jay-Z’s record label Def Jam closed its New York office due to a bed bugs infestation. According to the New York Post, three floors received fumigation treatments but the problem returned in the offices of  celebrity talent agency ICM downstairs.

Bed bug infestations are not bragged about buy building owners in New Jersey or New York City or anywhere else in the country. There are probably a large number of buildings in the nation that have bed bug infestations but the property owners are keeping it quiet which is understandable. However, they need to get bed bug treatments so workers and visitors of the building don’t unknowingly take the odious insects home with them.

It’s not easy being a building owner when bed bugs move in. They have to deal with the cost of pest control treatments, potential lawsuits, the building’s image being harmed with the public, and frightened employees and visitors.

Building owners and others may want to purchase some bed bug monitors in order to discover a bed bug infestation as soon as possible.
