Pests We Treat - Bed bugs on molding in Forked River
In this apartment, evidence of bed bug activity was was widespread. The property manager was right. This was a nightmare situation. Bed bugs had coated the apartment with dark stains of fecal matter everywhere - on the door frames leading into the bedroom, around the closet door frames, on the baseboards, and even on the heater (see photos). In the same bedroom, there were fecal stain accumulations around the window frame, and another cluster of deposits to the left of the window frame where curtains had been hung.
We will also be inspecting other units to determine whether the infestation has stayed localized to this one unit. We can't ignore the likelihood that the infestation may have spread. One problem in multi-unit dwellings is that bed bugs could have entered common areas like hallways and the laundry room where they could be picked up by an unsuspecting tenant. Everyone in the building will need to be put on alert for possible bed bugs - all because of the negligent actions of a single tenant.
