“You can control the infestation of bed bugs, but you can’t eliminate them,” said Scott Palatnik, a bed bug control specialist in New York with from the Parisian.
Measures included in the law

The law also requires owners to inform tenants or potential buyers of the presence of bedbugs over the last twelve months, even when the problem has since been resolved. In addition, if a resident wishes to get rid of their mattress, they must absolutely wrap it in a plastic cover.
Same line for hotels, for example, which have implemented strict protocols by asking specialized companies to inspect their bedding several times a month.
