NJ and NYC bed bugs are very good at hiding. When an apartment owner in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan or Queens has a bed bug infestation they typically have the bed bugs infested units treated and leave most of the other units untreated. This can be a major problem. Typically there are other apartment units that have a small infestation and the tenants are unaware of the uninvited blood sucking guests. Apartment owners are being naive to think only the residents that are complaining about the critters have bed bugs. Some owners are aware that bed bugs might be in other units but they just don’t want to spend more money.
Perhaps NJ and NYC should follow the guidelines established in Boston. The Boston Inspection Services Department requires that apartment owners treat all the horizontally and vertically adjacent units and inspect the entire apartment building. At a minimum, this should be done and in the long run the extra expense might save the landlord a larger expense of having to deal with a huge infestation of a large number of apartment units.
