Senior citizens living in a senior citizen high-rise complex in Bridgeton, New Jersey have been complaining about being attacked by bed bugs. A Bridgeton Housing Authority representative claims that whenever they receive a bed bug complaint they send an exterminator right away. That’s good news. When people wait to exterminate, the bed bugs have time to spread all over an apartment complex and attack more people. Also, by waiting, the bed bug pest control services become substantially more expensive.

Here is a problem faced by New Jersey apartment complexes, New York City apartment complexes and apartment buildings all over the nation: They exterminate the bed bugs and then someone unknowingly brings them back in the apartment complex and the horrible bed bugs infestations are back. Oh the horror! The Horror!

Apartment owners have a difficult time preventing new bed bug infestations. They may want to install bed bug monitors in all the units. The devices won’t prevent bed bug infestations but they alert the owners that they have a bed bug infestation and the sooner they get treatments the less money they will spend.
