In a country where tobacco is still being sold and 100 innocent people can die in a nightclub in RI, I don’t think any municipal government would be able to legistlate disclosure about bedbugs in a way that would have immediate financial impact on business–the tourist industry, the hotel industry, the college dorm industry … no, I don’t see it happening. The board of health inspects restaurants and reports, in writing, if there are rodents and roaches. I wish there could be similar rules about inspecting hotels and dorms for bedbugs. Once the pheremone traps come out, we would at least have a way of better detection and maybe legislation could follow that. It has to be considered a board of health issue, and right now it isn’t because “bedbugs are not known to transmit disease.”
