They cause a variety of physical, mental health and economic problems. They are hard to get rid of because of their small size, high reproduction rate and resistance to many pest control methods. No property is safe from them – and that very much includes affordable housing units. As a landlord or someone responsible for room hygiene, you need to comply with HUD’s policies by getting rid of bed bugs – and ensure they never return. it's imperative to know about the best practices regarding the prevention and control of this widespread problem.
The phrase “Don't let the bed bugs bite” may be used mostly in a light-hearted way, but bed bugs are nothing to joke about. Although the appearance of these pests has greatly declined since the early 1900s, many families every year still find them in their homes. There are many different methods for getting rid of bed bugs and preventing them from returning. HUD's bed bug policy and IPM is in demand these days.
