Editorial standards & accountability
How this site is researched. And what it is — and isn’t.
Most bed bug legal guidance online is wrong; we know, because we checked, and logged the errors. That only means something if we hold our own work to the same standard. This page says plainly who is behind the site, how each page is built, how to correct us, and the one thing we are careful never to claim.
Who compiles it
This site is compiled by Resultex Media Group LLC (112 Main Street, East Rockaway, NY 11518), the publisher named in the footer of every page. The research is the work of an organization rather than a single bylined author — and we’d rather say that plainly than invent a persona. What stands behind a claim here is not a name you’re asked to trust, but the primary source cited next to it, which you can open and check yourself.
The standard: primary sources, every time
- We read the enacted law, not a summary of it. Every state entry was built by reading the statute, regulation or reported case itself — the single practice that most published coverage skips, and the reason its errors spread.
- Every claim links its source. Each state page cites the exact section, and the 50-state audit and corrections log show what that turned up: 20 material errors in published guidance, including statutory duties that were never enacted.
- Practical guidance is sourced too. Identification, treatment and prevention pages draw on the EPA, the CDC and university extension programs, cited on each page — not on folk remedies.
What we do not claim: attorney review
No attorney has reviewed these pages. We think you deserve to know that in plain words.
What this is
Primary-source-verified information
We read the actual statutes and cite them, which is more than most sites do. It makes the pages a reliable map of what the law says.
What this is not
Legal advice
Reading a statute is not the same as a lawyer applying it to your lease, your local ordinance and your facts. Before withholding rent, terminating a tenancy or filing anything, talk to a tenant attorney or legal aid office.
So when you see “verified,” it means we checked it against the primary source on the date shown — not that a lawyer signed off on your situation. That distinction is the honest one, and we’d rather hold it than dress the site up as something it isn’t.
Our correction policy
- Found an error? Tell us. On a site whose whole argument is that others got the law wrong, a mistake in our own work is the thing we most want to hear about. Report a correction.
- We fix it in public. Corrections are logged, with the source, on the corrections page — the same standard we hold everyone else to.
- We correct our own numbers too. Where our summary statistics have drifted from the detailed record, we reconcile them to the primary count rather than leave two figures standing.
How current it is
- Every page carries a verification date, shown visibly and in its metadata. If you are reading a page long after that date, open the cited section yourself — legislatures amend landlord-tenant law every session.
- We re-verify at least annually, and sooner for states with pending or recently passed bed bug bills, and for license and city pages, where portals and ordinances change fastest.
Independence
There is no advertising on this site, and no affiliate or referral arrangement decides what a page says. If that ever changes, paid placements will be labeled and will never influence a legal conclusion or which official source we point you to. Independence is the point — a site that says other people got the law wrong cannot be for sale.
