Dispatchers relocated as Honolulu police deal with bed bugs – KHON2

Posted on July 8, 2017 by admin Click Here For Article

The Honolulu Police Department is dealing with a case of bed bugs.

The pests were found in the communications division of HPDs main station on Beretania Street earlier this week.

Im only speculating, but the source seems to come from the outside rather than an infestation within the station, said acting Chief of Police Cary Okimoto.

The department is hiring an exterminator to treat the area.

In the meantime, 911 and police dispatch services have been relocated to HPDs alternate communications center in Kapolei, which Okimoto says is normal procedure.

One of the easiest ways to know if youve got a bed bug infestation are the tell-tale bites on the face and body.

Check along the folds of your mattress or sheets. Thats where they normally hide.

They also leave behind rust-colored blood spots.

Even if you get rid of it 100 percent, unless you have something thats going to keep killing them, they can keep being reinfested from the source that they already came from. So if somebody has them in their home and you get rid of them at the center there. If they come back with the bedbugs on they will reinfest the place. So thats what makes it so extremely difficult in cases where you have multiple people that could be bringing them in, said John Speed of Kilauea Pest Control.

If you think you have bed bugs, call an exterminator immediately.

NEW YORK Old apartment buildings unlike hotels are often not made for short term stays, particularly when it comes to bed bugs crawling from one wood framed apartment to the next.

You can imagine this problem might intensify in buildings where tenants are illegally renting out their units for short term rentals.

Getting to the bottom of this situation isnt easy.

Many AirBnb hosts are rent stabilized tenants. They dont want to talk about bed bugs, or AirBnb out of fear theyll be evicted.

Enter Ari Teman, co-founder of Subletspy.com.

The companys research team began looking at AirBnb complaints from its landlord clients and bed bug complaints filed by city residents to the 311 line.

At the very least, where you find AirBnb in a building, you find the neighbors and the other tenants complaining about bed bugs, said Teman.

Subletspy.com found with a sample of 100 buildings across New York City between January of 2014 through this July, that 89 percent of those buildings had at least one documented bed bug 311 complaint around the time of an AirBnb rental.

Is this a coincidence? Or does AirBnb have a bed bug problem?

AirBnB spokesman Peter Schottenfels called out the study.

This irresponsible and inaccurate study was written by someone who profits by attacking middle class AirBnb hosts," Schottenfels said. "This report is not based on actual addresses of AirBnb listings, relying instead on misleading data and false assumptions, and therefore cannot in anyway determine if host addresses match those on the City's website. Whenever a guest has an issue, of any kind, our global customer experience and trust and safety teams work to address them immediately.
