Prevention of Bedbug Infestation

The best approach to bedbug management is to prevent infestation from occurring. You can assist by doing the following:

• Checking for bedbugs on luggage and clothes when returning home from a trip.
• Looking for bedbugs or signs of bedbugs on secondhand items before bringing the items into the unit.
• Reporting all signs of bedbugs if found in your unit.
• Reducing clutter where bedbugs can hide.
• Regular checking of beds and laundering of linens.

Residents are expected to fully cooperate with the treatment efforts of Management and/or third party pest control contractors, including heat treatments. This also includes refraining from placement of infested furniture or other items in common areas such as hallways or breezeways. Resident cooperation is necessary in order to expedite the control of bedbugs and prevent spreading of infestations.

Management requires that Residents immediately report any signs of bedbug infestation in the apartment and fully cooperate with Management in their attempts to keep the apartment and complex free from bedbug infestation. Failure to report an infestation or cooperate with remediation will be deemed a substantial violation of the lease agreement and grounds for termination of the lease.
