Tape won't deter them. I hope you are getting effective professional help so you don't have to live with bed bugs much longer. Bistec,

You should contact them and see if you can get their data set. I think it's a great idea. I also know that the recent NYT article had a graphic showing reports over the last few years and where they occurred, so this work may already have been done. You might contact the author of that piece to find out who's tracking it and if you can get ahold of it. Jenny,

I am also a recent bed bug victim in nyc. I'm wondering if any of you have come across nyc records of bed bug occurences. I'm interested in doing some analaysis of the data set. Thanks, jenny hi.
