Quinnipiac University Hosts 'Bed Bugs Meet the Law’ Forum

Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station (CAES) and the Connecticut Coalition Against Bed Bugs will present the forum event November 8.

NORTH HAVEN, CT – The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station (CAES) and the Connecticut Coalition Against Bed Bugs (CCABB) invites the public, media and other interested parties to attend the forum, “Bed Bugs Meet the Law,” which will take place from 9 a.m. to noon on Tuesday, November 8, in the Center for Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences auditorium at Quinnipiac University, 370 Bassett Road.

On October 1, 2016, the Public Act 16-51, “An Act Concerning the Rights and Responsibilities of Landlords and Tenant Regarding the Treatment of Bed Bug Infestations” took effect. It provides a legal framework for landlords and tenants to respond to bed bug infestations in buildings and appropriate timely remedies. The forum will explain the law and how it dovetails into the biology of the insect and best management practices. The forum will offer an opportunity to answer questions and for public discourse.
