\"\"<\/a>Continuing from Wednesday\u2026<\/p>\n

The couple claims that after their arrival home from the hotel, their home was then infested with bed bugs.\u00a0 The infestation came to light approximately four weeks after returning home from the hotel, which signifies a relatively new infestation.<\/p>\n

The couple reportedly then posted a comment about their experience with the hotel on Tripadvisor.com.\u00a0 The hotel claims that the comments are completely false and that the hotel is bed bug free.\u00a0 Due to the negative commentary, the hotel in question has since filed a lawsuit<\/a> claiming defamation, invasion of privacy, and tortious interference with business.\u00a0 The hotel is seeking $30,000 in damages for loss of business and loss of reputation.<\/p>\n

The trouble for the hotel remains because bed bugs<\/a> can be lurking in any crack or crevice and even in the hotel room next door.\u00a0 They can travel through walls with great ease, strike their victim, and disappear back into their hiding spots.\u00a0 Nobody knows how well of an inspection was completed by the maintenance staff or the pest control professional.\u00a0 Questions will surely arise as to whether a bed bug sniffing dog was used to determine if an infestation was indeed in the hotel room.\u00a0 Questions will also arise as to whether bed bug traps or monitors were used before or after the guests used the hotel room.<\/p>\n

For the hotel guests, bed bugs are hitchhikers that can be picked up anyplace that people frequent.\u00a0 It\u2019s entirely possible that since the luggage was thrown away and the clothing was laundered in hot water and dried on high heat upon their arrival home, maybe no bed bugs came home from the hotel.\u00a0 Bed bugs have recently been found in airplanes and can be found in other sources of travel like rental cars, taxis, buses, subways etc.\u00a0 The problem with bed bugs is that it is always difficult to pin-point the exact time when you encountered the critters.\u00a0 Staying in a hotel where you found an actual bed bug though certainly does put you at high risk.<\/p>\n

Bed bug related lawsuits are fairly new to our court system.\u00a0 It will be interesting to see who will win this bed bug battle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
