newyorkshitty.com » ‘Tis The Season: Don’t Let The Bedbugs Bite!

miss heather of newyorkshitty.com shares a current photo of suspected bed bug refuse at the Astral Apartments in Greenpoint, and shares an article from exactly 121 years ago, decrying the need for “quality affordable housing”, free of vermin.

Glenwood Springs Post Independent - Valley News (Colorado)

“Tom Cornwell, president of the Colorado Pest Control Association, will be speaking to representatives from hotels and motels, … and public and housing personnel from 11 a.m. to noon Friday, Dec. 7.” Public education is the key to beating bed bugs.

Stamford, CT: The Advocate - Flooding and failing health leave residents seeking help (flood evacuees get bed bugs in hotel)

“During the spring nor’easter, a Stamford senior housing complex was flooded, and residents were forced to move to a hotel temporarily. Upon returning home, residents discovered their building was infested with bed bugs.”

Some Crazy Garbage: Away, ye critters

A blogger’s first-hand account of a Pest Control Operator’s visit. Yes, google alerts sends me multiple such posts a day from various “newbites” around the world. But this one was entertaining to read, even as it conveyed the tale of woe you have come to expect.

  • Clip of the Day:

    TheStar.com | Public Health must declare bedbug war

    “The problem is spreading like flames all over town. Where are the people who will deal with this problem as if they were firefighters in front of a burning building?”

    Bedbuggers, Are you all reading Joe Fiorito’s articles in the Star? You really must. He has been doing the most amazing series of articles on people suffering from bed bugs in Toronto. Article after article as documented in recent news posts here.
    I wrote him a fan letter.

  • If you’re a tenant of Pistilli Realty’s beleaguered Astral apartments, in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, you can join this new MySpace group and talk to your neighbors.
  • “A recent problem was an infestation of bedbugs, which Freeman said was remedied with donations of new beds and bedding.” This kind of lacadaisical reporting sends the wrong idea. New beds and bedding did not eliminate bed bugs from a homeless shelter.
  • “Now Tropicana will have to ‘get bedbugs headlines out of people’s minds,’ (William J. ) Yung (III) said.”
    There’s one way to get them out of our heads: make sure they’re not in any of the beds!
