About

Somebody had to read all of them.

This site exists because the published information about who pays for bed bugs is, across a large share of the United States, wrong — and the people relying on it are usually in no position to check.

What this is

A reference covering bed bug and habitability law in all fifty states and the District of Columbia, plus the tools that follow from it: a notice-letter generator, a license-verification directory, a guide to what actually kills bed bugs, and a record of every error found along the way.

Every state entry was written by reading the statute, regulation or reported case itself. Not by summarizing somebody else's summary, which is how the errors in this subject propagate.

What we found

Roughly two in five states had something materially wrong in the existing coverage. Not staleness or nuance — five statutory duties that do not exist anywhere in the enacted law, citations pointing at unrelated sections, remedies described as available that the state's highest court expressly refused to create, and three sites presenting themselves as legal aid organizations or national authorities while misstating the law.

All of it is logged, with the primary source, on the corrections page. That page is the reason to trust the rest of this site, and it is also the standard the site holds itself to.

How it is maintained

What this is not

It is also not a directory of pest control companies, and nobody pays to appear here. The license pages link to state regulators, not to businesses.

Who runs this

This resource is compiled through official sources by Resultex Media Group LLC, 112 Main Street, East Rockaway, New York 11518.

“Compiled through official sources” is meant literally, and it is the whole method. Every state entry was written by opening that state’s own code or the reported case and reading the section — not by paraphrasing another website’s paraphrase, which is how the errors documented on the corrections page spread in the first place. Every state page links back to the legislature or code site it was drawn from, so you can check the work rather than take it on trust.

We are a publisher, not a law firm. Nobody here is your lawyer, nothing on this site is advice about your situation, and reading it creates no professional relationship. What we can do is put the actual rule, the actual deadline and the actual citation in front of you in plain English, and tell you where to go next.

If something here is wrong, we would rather fix it than defend it. Send us the correction, ideally with the statute.

Every page links to the source

All fifty-one state pages carry a “Read it yourself” link going straight to that state’s own legislature or code site — every one on a .gov or .us domain, and every one confirmed rather than constructed from a pattern. All fifty-one license pages link the state regulator directly. The Section 8 guide links HUD and the electronic Code of Federal Regulations; the insurance guide links the NAIC directory of state insurance departments, since policy wording is not public law and there is no statute to cite.

This site exists because other people summarized summaries. The least it can do is show its working and hand you the primary source, so you can check us the way we checked them.

Corrections

If something here is wrong, we would rather fix it than defend it — a site built on other people's errors does not get to be precious about its own. Report an error, ideally with the statute.
