Bedbugs are coming to office buildings.
The annoying — and extremely costly — little bugs are apparently creating lots of issues for corporate offices across the country.
This USA Today report today says that one in five exterminators have found bedbugs in office buildings. And just four years ago the number was 1 percent.
The story explains that the bugs are creating a ton of issues, including lawsuits from employees who have taken the bugs home with them.
This is a strange, but fun story to consider some localization for:
• Contact a few local exterminators and find out if they have discovered any bedbugs in offices recently? What's the cost to treat for bedbugs in an office if they are discovered? And are there any ideas on what has led to the wild increase?
• Talk to a law firm about the likelihood of workers who got bedbugs in the office and took them home with them, winning a lawsuit against their employer.
• Are the cases of reported bedbugs also increasing in homes? What are public health officials experiencing on this topic?
