Bed Bug Bites on Leg

by Anna Gomez
(Garden City Kansas )

Bed Bug Bite

I just need somebody to please help me. I don't understand why the landlord can't correct this problem. I must have been bitten over 200 times.

Editor Response

Dear Anna,

We're sorry; that many bites is miserable. Please see a doctor if the bites are blistering, look infected or keep you from sleeping. See our guide to treating bed bug bites.

We're not lawyers. Kansas doesn't have a specific statewide bed bug law for rentals, but some Kansas cities address infestations in their property maintenance codes. Put your request to the landlord in writing and keep copies, then contact your city's code enforcement or neighborhood services office and ask about the landlord's obligations. A local legal aid or tenant rights group can also help. Bed bugs are hard to get rid of in apartments unless neighboring units are inspected and treated too. See how to get rid of bed bugs.
