New Study Examines NJ Bed Bug Infestations in Multi Unit Dwelling
Researchers have found that they were able to detect about 75 percent of bed bug infestations in juts 10 minutes or less per apartment unit, which would cost about $12 per apartment or less.
Dr. Changlu Wang and colleagues from Rutgers University have examined 43 low-income apartment buildings with a total of 2,372 individual units and found that about 12% of the apartment units had bed bug infestations.
Out of the 193 residents who had existing bed bugs 47% were aware they had bed bugs, 49% were unaware they had bed bugs and 4% unsure if they had bed bugs.
Lets break down the cost 2,372 X $12 $28,464 to perform an inspesction devide that by 43 building of 55 units each that’s $661.95 per building labor is $8.5, monitors $3.5 per unit.
The majority of the 291 units infested were unknown to the housing authority personnel in Hackensack, Irvington, and Paterson.
The only Housing Authority had accurate information about the status of their bed bug infestations was Bayonne.
