Summary:This article is designed to provide factual information about bed bugs to protect families, colleagues, and clients from these pesky little creatures and the devastation they leave behind. Part II provides an overview of how bed bugs have re-entered the society and outlines information that everyone should know about this pest. Part III explains the history and biology of bed bugs. Part IV highlights how bed bugs have impacted the hotel industry and addresses how to keep the workplace safe to keep productivity up and liability claims down. Part V provides an overview of the growing field of bed bug litigation. Part VI discusses the relevant statutes and regulations that impact employers and protect employees from bed bugs in the workplace environment. As a result of the increased number of claims made by bed bug victims, new questions have arisen about whether claims related to bed bugs are covered by insurance.
