.........Hotels contacted by The Washington Times about bedbug reports either referred calls to their corporate headquarters or didn’t 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 GOP’s choice for its convention last week, Tampa, Fla., didn’t 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 don’t 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......

I think we’re underestimating the character of the bed bug. What makes everybody think they’d be caught dead in a bed with a democrat?!
Not that simple, but many things that could work are illegal: http://www.conservapedia.com/Bedbugs
Please do not dishonor bedbugs by in any way whatsoever associating them with Jackasses.
I feel sorry for the bedbugs.
Cincinnati, Chicago and Detroit? All dem cities... very telling.
Those were just members of Valerie Jarrett's advance team, taking a break after a week of hard convention preparations.
Pelosi’s relatives.
This is actually pretty clever on the part of the hotels involved .... it will solve their bedbug problem because they know that the bedbugs will decide to go home with the democrats.
The delegates should not fear the bedbugs.
They will not bite out of professional courtesy.
“Charlotte gave me crabs, pass it on...”
There will be a lot of extra “skid marks” on the hotel linens from the DNC poofters.
Pimps, Prostitutes and Drug Dealers? That’s like a Democrat trifecta. They should feel right at home.
>>> The Knights Inn was the worst hotel I have ever seen, and I’ve stayed in many bad motels in my life. Two guys were dealing drugs in the room next to me, and a prostitute was working out of the parking lot. And this was in the early afternoon. The room itself was dirty, full of other people’s stuff, etc. <<<
That sounds just like the Democrat base. Probably delegates who arrived early. :)
I dunno if it’s just me, but places called, Knights Inn, Just Blue Inn, or Hot Cots Hotel, sound just a tad off.
Sounds racist to me.
Hey you congresscrooks, you outlawed DDT.
You buttered your bread now lie in it.
COMMENT FROM A WASHINGTON TIMES READER: Blood sucking parasites at the tax and spend free-for-all? How utterly appropriate.

Were the bedbugs concerned about the infestation of ‘Rats? ;)
