In nearly every area, a landlord has the obligation to provide a rental that is habitable and safe. Bed bugs (lice and similar nasty critters) are a serious health hazard. They often require fumigation of the living space. Mattresses and carpets can be full of lice and their eggs. That sounds like something for a professional, but it is doubtful that there is any specific requirement that he must hire someone.

Is it the landlord's responsibility to get rid of cockroach infestation?
First, this responsibility can be different in each jurisdiction. However, most jurisdictions have some stipulation in their version of the residential tenancies act that the landlord is responsible for treating all infestations within an apartment. Now the next part is where it gets tricky. Where I live, it is the landlord's responosibility to treat the infested apartment; however, it is not the landlord's responsibility to pay for the treatment. The treatment costs can be billed to the tenant. The tenant is not usually charged for the treatment for the sake of good relations; however, this is at the discretion of the landlord. What is comes down to is that it is usually the landlords responsibility to have a professional treat the suite, but, depending on where you live, the tenant may be responsible for any charges related to the extermination.

Can i get bed bugs from my neighbor?
Yes, bed bugs can go from one apartment or townhouse to another if they are also not treated in your townhouse. You can take a chance and not treat for them, but usually when a person in apartment or townhouse gets bed bugs, there is a chance that you could end up with those little fellows too. If your neighbor comes to your townhouse, they can have bed bugs on their clothes and leave them behind for you to enjoy. Call a professional to come over to see if you might have them and usually they will treat your townhouse to be cautious, but you will have to pay for this treatment unless you can prove that you don't have them already. Check to see the laws in your area to see who has to pay, some states are different then others.
Will tea tree oil help with bed bugs in a mattress?
Probably not. If you have bed bugs, you need a professional pest control operator to treat your home. Put your mattress and box springs each in a sealed (zippered) cover. Seal the zipper with tape. Launder all clothes, linens, and bed clothes, and keep them in sealed bags. And call that pest control company, and make sure they know how to kill bed bugs (some don't!)
