\"\"<\/a>Bed bugs<\/a> continue to plague people from coast to coast.\u00a0 People who encounter bed bugs are understandably looking for an end to the problem.\u00a0 Many times those who are the cause of the bed bugs refuse to take responsibility for the problem.<\/p>\n

Wsbtv.com reported on March 22, 2012 that an Atlanta woman is claiming that she received bed bug<\/a> infested beds from a nationwide furniture rental company.\u00a0 She claims that she and her children began receiving bite wounds soon after the delivery of the used furniture to her new townhome.\u00a0 A pest control professional soon confirmed the existence of bed bugs throughout the used bedding that was delivered.\u00a0 A call to the furniture company did not yield an apology, but they did pick up the infested goods, claims the tenant.\u00a0 The tenant is suing the rental company for her bed bug encounter.<\/p>\n

According to reports, the tenant is not the only victim of the bed bug debacle.\u00a0 The landlord claims that he has been unable to rent the new townhouse and he claims that he has lost 20 new prospective renters because of the bed bug situation.\u00a0 He claims that once he advises would-be tenants that the townhouse has had or still has bed bugs, that they are no longer interested in living there.\u00a0 He is seeking compensation from the furniture rental company for $195,950, but has not filed a lawsuit yet!\u00a0 You may read the article<\/a> here.<\/p>\n

Renting used furniture can be a tricky endeavor.\u00a0 Bed bugs are fairly easy to see because they are about the size of an apple seed but bed bug eggs are extremely difficult to detect because they are about the size of a pin-head and are translucent in color.\u00a0 Even if a company follows a good quality assurance protocol, it would be very easy for anyone to miss bed bug eggs that are laid in the confines of a mattress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
