ROSEMONT, Ill. (AP) - Bedbug experts gathered in a Chicago suburb this week to talk about the pests that are running rampant in the Northeast. Athletic clothing and shoe maker Nike Inc. said Sunday it was temporarily closing its Niketown store in New York City after it became the latest victim of the bloodsucking pests. Reports of bedbugs have surged in recent years as they have become resistant to common pesticides.

New York is the epicenter of all liberal vermin outbreaks!
Taking blood-sucking vermin to Chicago is like taking coals to Newcastle.

DDT the weapon of choice.
I’m wondering if these creatures aren’t being seeded by other creatures; i.e., by proponents of the ROP as a weapon of economic warfare.
Now if we could just get rid of the bloodsuckers in D.C.
Exactly, FRiend, but we live in a post-modern, liberal upside-down world!
But things will change soon!
Be of good heart!
I am not a conspiracy nut, but wouldn't put it past the ROP, but it's probably a liberal anti-sanitation problem!
Undoubtedly caused by global warming..:=)!
“the latest victim of the bloodsucking pests”
Chances are we will vote a lot of these bloodsucking pests out of office in about a month.
Who’s Hugh?
My Troop’s Scoutmaster is an independent pest control specialist. He’s got a degree in entymology (sp?) from Michigan State and years of experience. We are in the Chicago suburbs. He says he’s absolutely swamped with bedbug work. He had 100 cases two years ago, 500 cases last year, and around 800 so far this year. They’re all over. He visited a company today that says they operate 500 apartments and that they’ve got one with bed bugs. He told them “No you don’t. If you’ve got one apartment with bed bugs you’ve got between 50 to 100 right now, and will have more if you wait.”
Hugh is the brother of Series
These Bedbugs are Mexican Illegals.
FReeper Lore, FRiend, dig deeply!
Diversity! Diversity! command the elite. Diversity good!!!
So that we can all become alike.
We now have in Palo Alto (home of Stanford) and Oakland (home of Berkeley) businesses that can cure your hair lice.
Ah, yes, Diversity! Now we all have lice and bedbugs.
I’d say that’s progress.
Actually bedbugs began to develop DDT resistance many decades ago and apparently many modern bedbug populations are 100% resistant to DDT.
Thank Rachael Carson for this ....
How would bed bugs get from one apartment to another?
What do they do to cure hair lice?
Are you a scientist?
Just asking, thought DDT was still applicable to these infestations, if not, what is the alternative?
” it’s probably a liberal anti-sanitation problem!
Undoubtedly caused by global warming..:=)!”
You know, that wouldn’t surprise me.
Hotel bedding is probably merely washed with lukewarm water, if that. Many hotels are, in the name of conservation of course, cutting back on doing laundry at all. Add the trend nowadays of multiple pillows all over the beds and you have a lot of bedbug refuges.
Then there is the tolerance of homeless folks practically living in public areas like libraries, public transit, and sleeping everywhere they can find a place, all defended by rights groups.
Add in poor hygiene habits from people who no longer have any self-respect and who carry their little friends from place to place.
I would includenclude low-flow showers, low water use washing machines, environmentally-friendly but weak laundry soaps.
It seems clear to me there are a lot of reasons why bedbugs are making a comeback, besides the DDT issue.
