I'm shocked that globalwarming wasn't to blame!
Bring back DDT
In a surprise development, on July 28 the New York City Council and Mayors office released the report of the New York City Bed Bug Advisory Board and announced the funding of certain educational components of the boards recommendations. We at New York vs Bed Bugs are extremely relieved and hopeful. To be updated. For now, you can download the report: New York City Bed Bug Advisory Report (April 2010).
Well, it’s way past time the government tackled this problem. After all, they are supposed to be taking care of us from the cradle to the grave!!
I’m more concerned about the White House infestation......
Bush’s fault
Send that turkey Bloomberg to every home for an inspection and fumigation.
This is awful for tennants and a no-win for the landlords. The landlord my daughters had was an asshole but even good ones have to spend thousands and another tennant can bring bed bugs back in.
In our daughter's new place in Manhattan, we put Ditomecius (sp) Earth around the baseboards. When the exterminator visited he said that was a good a preventative measure as we could take. As good as anything he had to offer.
Some students from Rutgers came up with a mechanism to spoof bed bugs. Dry ice in a can mounted inside a dog dish. The inside of the dog dish is greased so the bugs can't climb out. As the dry ice vaporizes, it emits CO2 and the bed bugs think it's a human breathing. Come to think of it, Sex Poodle Gore and friends would probably object to using frozen CO2.
My solution? Bed bugs can't survive freezing temperatures. During a freezing cold snap every building in Queens should open all the windows and let the temps plummet (turn the water on a drip so the pipes don't freeze). Two days of that and they'd all be dead.
I gather they are talking about democrats! ;-)
the pests have been discovered in theaters, clothing stores, office buildings, housing projects and posh apartments
