Clients have also claimed emotional damage from bedbug exposure, as Virag noted that the resulting trauma is “super significant.”
The attorney urged resort owners to prioritize guest safety by using housekeepers who are “very adequately trained” in recognizing and eliminating bedbugs.
“Typically, guests don’t put two and two together right away if they have bites on their bodies,” said the attorney representing the travelers.
“They need to maintain proper pest control procedures and protocols,” he said. “And they just have to make sure that when they turn over a guest room, it is free from bedbugs.”
He added, “You want to try to get to a bedbug infestation as early as possible, because bedbugs reproduce at a really high rate.”
