Days Inn O'Fallon sued following alleged bed bug infestation

A couple from Nashville, Tennessee is suing an OFallon hotel for more than $250,000 following an alleged infestation of bed bugs during their stay. The hotels attorneys are fighting to dismiss the case and the hotel manager says bed bugs are not a problem.

Antwaine and Woodrow Ross allege the Days Inn OFallon hotel knew the critters Cinex lectularius, commonly known as bed bugs due to their tendency to be found in bedding, infested their rooms. The suit claims hotel employees did not warn guests of the bugs before they stayed in the hotel from March 19, 2010 through May 21, 2010, according to court documents.

The Rosses seek more than $50,000 from each of five counts, which include claims the hotel violated the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Practices Act by concealing the infestation. Days Inn attorneys have filed a motion to dismiss four of the five counts claiming in part that the Rosses misapprehend what constitutes a nuisance and a concurrent suit to stop an alleged nuisance and they fail to show the Days Inn acted with deliberate intention to harm.

Current hotel manager David Boan said the company has a different owner since the Rosses stayed at the hotel, located at 1320 Park Plaza Drive. He said bed bugs have not been an issue since he began employment with the company in November 2011, but noted the nuisance can be commonly treated.

Bed bugs feed off the blood of sleeping humans, causing itching and bumps to their victims. The lawsuit was filed against the hotels owner group, Caseyville Hotel Investors LLC, on March 21 in St. Clair County court. The manager of the owner group is Sanjay T. Patel, according to a database hosted on the website of the Illinos Secretary of State. Patel did not respond to a request to be interviewed.

The Rosses allege the bed bugs hitched a ride in their luggage from the hotel to their home in Tennessee. The couple claims the infestation forced them to destroy clothing, furniture, bedding, a mattress, and to fumigate the home. Along with reimbursement for those alleged losses, the couple also claims the infestation caused extensive emotional distress and loss of sleep and seek compensation for medical treatment and residual scarring from the bugs.

When the couple complained to the hotel, they claim the property manager at the time and other employees confirmed some rooms in the hotel had bed bugs, according to court documents.

The Better Business Burea has rated the hotel a C+, mostly due to three allegations of bed bug-related issues since 2010. The complaints stem from stays in October 2011, November 2011, and March 2012.

In the October 2011-related complaint, representatives with Days Inn OFallon say the company takes complaints of bed bugs very seriously since it could destroy us in a very short period and point to a national epidemic of the pests in 2010.

To prevent bed bug issues, the hotel states a program was instituted in 2010 that included:

Bed Bugs Back in School

Bed bugs closed a school in Luzerne County Friday for the second time in a month.

Officials with the Wyoming Area School District said an office at J.F.Kennedy Elementary School in Exeter must be retreated for bed bugs.

The school was closed for a day late last month when the parasites first showed up.

Exterminators treated the school but not the bugs are back.

Sioux Falls raising awareness to bed bugs

Good night, sleep tight, and don’t let the bed bugs bite. The well-known nursery rhyme is more of a reality than you might think or hope. On Thursday the Sioux Falls Health Department held a bed bug panel to raise awareness about the pests.

If your skin isn’t crawling yet it will be soon. You also may want to double check your bed sheets tonight. Bed bugs are on the rise across the country, South Dakota is no exception.

“We have seen a steady increase of bed bug samples being sent in to our clinic.” Said Buyung Hadi, an entomologist with SDSU.

In the pastfour months theSDSU entomology clinic has identifiedfive bed bug samples. A yearly total of three is considered abnormally high.

“Our message today would be for tenants to talk with landlords, heyI got a problem here can you take a look.” Said Kevin Smith, director of building services for Sioux Falls.

Afew Sioux Falls hotels and apartments have seen bed bug cases and the city health department wants people to be aware.

Tim Nicolai was just one of the landlord’s who stopped by for more information on the pests.

“The main reasonI came down today is to see what our next step is in controlling the issue we have before it gets out of hand in Sioux Falls.” Said Nicolai.

The health department says the first step is finding them.

“The bed bugs themselves will congregate in areas close to their host, which is mainly a bed, you’re stationary, not moving, you’re easy to get to and they have nice little corners and tucks in your mattress where they can hide.” Saidhealth program director Denise Patton.

Bed Bugs Take Over Whitehaven Job Corps Campus

Posted on: 6:34 pm, May 10, 2012, by Daniel Hight, updated on: 06:35pm, May 10, 2012

(Memphis) Students gathered at the front gate of Benjamin Hooks Job Corps Center in Whitehaven. They protested an ongoing problem there; bed bugs.

Im not going to say Job Corps is a bad place, but we want our voices to be heard, said Latoya Daniels who is a student there.

But our conversation was cut short when center directors came out to break up the students gathering.

I was able to see one student had bites all over his arms. Latoya Daniels stuck around and talked to me after everyone else left. She says not enough is being done to get rid of the bed bugs. When she came to center three weeks ago, she was warned by staff.

They told me to bring my own sheets, they were infested with bed bug, said Daniels. I always thought bedbugs were a myth until I got here to Job Corps and then I got bit and people had them in a bag and were showing them around.

Directors of the center say theyre working to get rid of the problem. John Colenberg offered up a statement, The center director along with the regional office and health inspectors are working towards a process to eliminate those issues.

A different director told me off camera they sprayed chemicals as well as used heat treatments to try to get rid of the bugs but he says it has not fixed the problem. A request was made to let the students out early for their summer break so they can get rid of the bugs without putting the health of their students in danger.

I prefer not to get eaten up, Daniels said, as she laughed.

She says shes grateful for the education Job Corps is giving her, but hopes they stand by their word and get the bed bugs out.

Your Stories: Bed Bugs On Park Ave

Rochester, N.Y.Kayla Holcomb doesn’t care for insects.

“I like dragonflies and butterflies, but I dont like anything else, explained the talkative 8-year-old.

When she noticed bed bugs crawling on her arms last fall, she panicked as did her mother, Marie.

One or two at first and then it just kept getting worse, explained Holcomb a tenant of roughly nine months at 85 Park Avenue.

Holcomb complained to her landlord, Joseph Kennedy. An exterminator was called but Holcomb said the bugs soonreturned.

Its disgusting, its horrible, I wish someone would just take care of it fully, said Holcomb.

Bug bites are visible all over her ankles.

She took photos, video and even kept some specimens in plastic bags to prove to the landlord that they existed.

Kennedy declined an on-camera interview with 13WHAM News but acknowledged that bed bugs had been a problem in the past.

He feels this tenant spoke out because he threatened to evict her for not paying May rent on the first.
