New York vs Bed Bugs members were there spreading word on how to get some change on the bed bug issue in NYC.
The presenter was Ed Brownbear, the only […]

Miss Heather of NewYorkShitty.com knows that the war on bed bugs needs a little Bill Murray, Caddyshack-style.
She also reminds us there’s a bed bug seminar coming up in Greenpoint next Tuesday.

I know the NYC Housing and Preservation Department’s bed bug seminars are not perfect. But wouldn’t you rather your neighbors had access to one, rather than not?
I say yes, especially if you live in Greenpoint. Greenpointers and their Williamsburg neighbors are seriously bedbugged.
So, Miss Heather of newyorkshitty.com and her friend Ann Kansfield (the Co-Pastor of […]

Remember this guy?
Well, he’s back. And it’s hard to believe, but he sounds even less charming than last time. He updates the world that his dorm bed bugs have come back, and he is now moving to a non-bed bug-infested apartment in Greenpoint.
(Dude, no bed bugs in Greenpoint?!? Maybe that old landlord […]

Bed bugs in Brooklyn. Well, I’d guess they were. You can never be sure. But I have lived in New York for many a year, and one did not used to find the sheer volume of mattresses one does today.
Many of them look shiny and new,
Others are streaked with bed bug pooh!
(These […]

New York Magazine has a new bed bug story dated November 12th (print edition of 11/19), by Melissa Kirsch.
It contains lots of solid advice about not picking up curbside furniture, being wary of Craigslist finds, and searching for fecal spots and blood stains. But it also contains some advice we don’t normally […]

There is so much bed bug news now, that blogging even half of the major articles that come across my web browser is too much. I offer a selection, as well as an interesting tidbit from a NYC blogger. More news forthcoming, including an update on Cincinnati, and some exciting developments in San […]

That’s the plea on a discarded sofa, the photo of which is posted on the wonderfully-named Greenpoint blog, newyorkshitty.com.
