- Passengers on flights from Newark Liberty International Airport to India are complaining about bed bug infested seats.
In one case this week a family complained their infant was covered in bites and bleeding by the time the 17-hour flight landed in Mumbia.
Pravin Tonsekar tweeted Air India photos of his seat with apparent bed bugs on them.
Air India replied with a comment that it is: "sorry to hear this. Sharing the details with our maintenance team for corrective measures in this regard."
Another passenger tweeted to the airline that his family few out of Newark on July 18 and his wife and three children were covered in bed ug bites all over their body. He asked, "Is this what we paid $10,000 for???"

Did anyone going to Newark, NJ expect anything less??
If fact, the Newark Tourism Department is considering renaming them “hug-
a-bugs”!!
Have not figured out how post links by cell phone.
Infestations have been reported on different aircraft.
And New Jersey is right next to New York.
It has been noted people who attempt to persuade people that there is not a bedbug problem in NYC are exactly the same people often filmed asking someone to “hold muh beer” right before the YouTube video recording their demise is shot.
If you find bed bugs in your house, I suggest burning your house down. Possessions included.
I never gave much thought until my daughter stayed at a hostel in Poland that had them. They left after they woke with bites the first night. They came home and had to keep all their stuff in a freezer (taking turns because it was a small euro freezer). It took something like a month to rotate all their stuff through.

A 160 degree oven works better and more quickly.....fabric, leather, computers.....
DDT can be obtained through “back channel” sources. Repackaged as Diatomaceous Earth it hides in plain sight in the tool shed.
Hair drier on High setting or a heat gun on Low will kill the adult concentrations when found. The DE swept under base boards is good too for longer term defense for all insectivora.
I didn’t say there wasn’t a bed bug problem in New York. On the other hand, if there were a bed bug problem with American air carriers flying in the New York city region, I would expect to see cases on well known airlines from the US. EWR is a United hub. There are lots of United aircraft that fly in and out of EWR every day. Why weren’t bedbugs spotted in United Airlines aircraft at EWR?
[Actually, bed bugs are an American problem, not a Third World problem. The Third World isn’t controlled by environmentalists who have gotten DDT and other effective pesticides banned - they will spray down their planes, hotels, etc. and kill the bugs. Bed bugs have become a real problem in American 5 star hotels and now apparently in planes because we have banned DDT.]
YES. The handling of those chemical can cause cancer, however we have gloves and other gear that keeps the chemicals work on the bugs. Bedbugs are up more than 300% in past few years, and it is due to filth and importing of them from airplanes, hotels, and other places infested to government agencies, other hotels/motels, and into places set up to hold illegal immigrants.
Diatomaceous Earth is a natural product (ground up shells) that penetrates the majority of bug shells, and works on all types of bugs, spiders, and creep things. In the garden or the home, just vacuum up each week, and replace for a month, and bug free! Hard to do in a Hotel... white powder looks suspicious. LOL

Add China and N Korea for DDT manufacture and export.

India, another $h!thole country.
[it is due to filth]
Bed bugs should be the least of their worries. Now days, passengers pee on the seats.
Oh my! There’s a new sign at a restaurant down the street. Up close, you can tell it is supposed to be a piece of steak. Further back down the road, it looks like a limp dingleberry. You can’t tell me they didn’t do that on purpose. It is way to defined.
Hartz dog flea shampoo will get rid of lice. The powers that be made them take that off the label because people were using it instead of the more expensive Rid shampoo.
Doesn't much matter. The US is now infected with all those once foreign diseases, germs, bugs and other ickies.
[Well what did he expect flying on Air India. It’s such a bad airline, the Indian government can’t even find buyers. Seriously, the Indian government was going to privatize Air India this summer, but no companies were interested in putting in bids to buy it.]
Also all the Indian political elite were UK-educated and Fabian socialists. So by having such leading luminaries managing the national economy for 50-60 years any economic advances from decolonization were going to be strangled at birth! In recent years that type of socialist thinking has not been as strong as it once was consequently India has taken off economically like a shot out of a cannon.
