Bed Bug Lawyers In Syracuse

Bed bugs are not new to Syracuse. The official Syracuse site refers to the city as the “Region’s major metropolitan center.”

This makes the area potentially ideal for bed bug infestations as people travel in and out of the area and as residents move in and out of Syracuse. In fact, the Cornell Cooperative Extension Onondaga County says, “They have become increasing common in Onondaga County…”

Misconceptions About Syracuse Bed Bugs

Sometimes bed bugs are misidentified as ticks, carpet beetles or small roaches. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) explains that misidentification “Gives the bugs more time to spread to other areas of the house or hitchhike a ride to someone else’s house to start a new infestation.” This ultimately results in multiple damages as people suffer from Syracuse bed bug infestations.

The misconception still likely exists that people only discover bed bugs on mattresses or box springs. However, bed bugs infest just about any area of a Syracuse home, apartment or hotel.

An individual may unknowingly carry bed bugs home in luggage or personal belongings after staying at a Syracuse hotel. A family may move into a Syracuse area home or apartment only to have their entire household of furnishings and personal belongings destroyed from a bed bug infestation due to negligence of landlords or property owners.

Diseases Caused By Bed Bugs

Although sources sometimes state bed bugs do not cause disease, this is not at all true. Multiple studies and researchers concluded that bed bugs are pathogen-carrying vectors of more than 40 illnesses and diseases.

The devastation of a bed bug infestation also causes mental health issues, with the National Post reporting, “Doctors should be aware of the possibility of psychological distress in bed-bug patients…”

How Do I Recover Damages with an Attorney in Syracuse for my Bed Bug Case?
