Spread of Bed Bugs
Finding out you have any sort of insect infestation in your home can be very frustrating and upsetting, but it can be especially trying when you have bed bugs. These small insects can be a nightmare to deal with, not only because of their knack for living in your bed and other parts of the bedroom, but also because of their growing resistance to pesticides. These bugs feed on human blood and can bite you all through the night without waking you.
Bed bugs have increased significantly in the United States over the past decade – close to an 81 percent increase since the year 2000. If you and your family have suffered from a bed bug infestation while staying in a hotel or other form of public lodging, you may be eligible for financial compensation.

How You Can Get Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are constantly becoming more resistant to certain pesticides like DDT, making it much harder to get rid of them. Bed bugs can hide all over your bed, in between the carpet and wall, as well as in drawers. Some of the most common ways houses get bed bugs is from:
- Furniture that is brought into the home that is already infested
- Wild animals like certain birds and bats
- Bugs and even eggs that get carried in on luggage or clothes
- Infested people visiting your house
Bed bugs can cause a significant amount of stress and discomfort, but fortunately, individuals who are victims of bed bug bites may be able to secure compensation for their pain and suffering.
