Bed Bug Discovery Shuts Down New Jersey Dental School
Last week, discovery of a single bed bug shut down a waiting room and exam room at the Newark facility of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. The bed bug was found in a patient’s belongings. The two rooms were treated promptly by New Jersey pest control professionals and reopened the next day.
This incident is one of an exploding number of bed bug infestations being reported daily in northern New Jersey and across the country. In nearby New York City, Ground Zero for America’s bed bug invasion, bed bugs are being found not just in residential buildings, but in upscale retail establishments, office buildings, schools and hospitals. New York state has recently passed two bed bug notification laws that require:
- Landlords to notify prospective tenants of current and previous bed bug infestations.
- Schools to promptly notify parents when bed bugs are found at school (effective July 1, 2011).
In northern New Jersey we’ve had our own problems with these blood-sucking pests. Infestations have been reported in apartments, homes, office building, hospitals and senior facilities.
