UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - New York City's bedbug epidemic has spread to yet another landmark in the city that never sleeps -- the United Nations, officials at the world organization said on Wednesday.
The pests appeared at places like the Empire State Building and Bloomingdale's before reaching the city's center of international diplomacy on the East Side of Manhattan.
The U.N. press office said a bedbug-sniffing dog had confirmed the presence of bedbugs in furniture in the basement of the Dag Hammarskjold Library, where the offices of the team overseeing the U.N. headquarter's $1.9 billion renovation project are housed.

How can they tell the difference between the bloodsucking bedbugs and the bloodsucking UN diplomats?

bed bugs just want a little blood. The UN isn’t happy until everyone has been sucked dry

Gotta love the irony of that: Chickens (or bedbugs) coming BACK HOME to roost. Only fair since we nearly had them whipped until our alleged “leaders” began allowing unrestricted immigration.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving group although I am surprised the bedbugs didn’t show their fellow parasites some professional courtesy.

The UN has had the unpublicized bug problem for several years. Could the UN be the original source? Urban Reclamation Project anyone?....anyone??...eminent domain under KELO??

Comin’ home ..... to ROOST!
For years, New York radio/TV commercials for mattresses have advertised a money back guarantee, I think for 90 days following delivery. I've often wondered what happens to the returned mattresses and how much the return privilege has contributed to the bedbug infestation.
