.........Hotels contacted by The Washington Times about bedbug reports either referred calls to their corporate headquarters or didnt return messages.
Charlotte has a long way to go before its bedbug levels approach cities such as New York, Cincinnati and Washington, D.C., where recent infestations have made national news, but a study this year by pest control company Orkin shows activity there has been on the rise.
The survey, released in March, rated Charlotte as having the 33rd-most bedbug reports of any city in 2011. The list was topped by Cincinnati, Chicago and Detroit.
By contrast, the GOPs choice for its convention last week, Tampa, Fla., didnt make the list of the 50 most-infested cities.
Jung W. Kim, environmental senior specialist for the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, said that bedbugs are on the rise, but about half of cases go unreported because victims dont react to bites.
Mr. Kim said upon checking into a hotel, guests should inspect their mattress, box spring and the back of their headboard for bedbug fecal matter in the form of tiny black dots......

So they have a problem with a bunch of blood sucking parasites coming to town ... and they have a bedbug problem.
Many of the cheaper hotels evacuated their long term residents and forced them to go in to temporary shelters
until the DNC was over. One women resisted being temporarily
evicted and she took a dump on the floor when the cops showed up.
So they have a problem with a bunch of blood sucking parasites coming to town ... and they have a bedbug problem.
I didn’t think parasites could live off other parasites...
Go Bedbugs!
Easy, one is a blood sucking pest
The other is a bug....:^)
.....”Major donors will experience a very different convention than rank-and-file delegates who will fill the arena on Tuesday and Wednesday night and the Bank of America stadium on Thursday. Besides getting credentials to the sessions they also have access to the best hotels and VIP finance lounges and finance staff who will provide concierge-type services for them.
While VIPs are discouraged from using limo services downtown will be crowded with lots of security there will be an Obama Victory Fund Finance Fun Bus.
The best VIP perks go to those who donated at least $75,800 to the joint Obama campaign/Democratic National Committee fund-raising committee with more perks going to donors who have a track record of giving at least $122,400 from Feb., 2009 to June 1 or who raised $350,000 from Jan. 1, 2011 through June 1.
For those who raised between $500,000 to $1 million between Jan. 1, 2011 and June 1 for the committee the Chicago Sun-Times has learned the perk package includes:.............”
pimps and prostitutes at night...
Ah so these hotels were supposed to go to the delegates, not the Press...
I’ll tell you what, the bedbugs are not happy about the competition arriving in town for the week.
How can you identify the delegates?
(Answer: They’re larger.)
I think bedbugs are a great opportunity for an entrepreneur.
A big problem with bedbugs is that they and their eggs often escape fumigation by hiding in tight crevasses and in air pockets in furniture.
However, they are very sensitive to heat. Just 115F for an hour will kill them and their eggs. So if a room is sealed, using a ground level air convection heater to raise the temperature in the room, down to the floor, to say 120-125F would wipe them out.
If it’s unpractical to heat the room, then put all the furniture in a heated semi truck. Very few of such dry goods are so sensitive to heat that they would be damaged by such temperatures for just an hour.
The use conventional fumigation in the empty room.
Chrissie’s gonna be having itchy leg tingles.
As a plus, delegates have drugs & whores right at hand. A win-win for everybody.
Sounds like a simple mix-up of hotel assignments. The Kennedy crowd were supposed to get the whores & drugs, while the Napolitano crowd were supposed to be staying at the hotels with all female butch staff, vegan menus, & Trojan Twisters in every room.
Yep! Pay to Play is the Chicago Way.
Freezing also works. The Fairfax County library system brought in reefer trucks to freeze their books after it was discovered that bedbugs had infested the spines of many children’s books. Funny how there has been no follow-up on whether or not that was effective.
“Mr. Kim said upon checking into a hotel, guests should inspect their mattress, box spring and the back of their headboard for bedbug fecal matter in the form of tiny black dots......” Another trip to Obama’s Paradise. /s
Sandra Fluke should feel right at home.
