She wants the health department to investigate whether they’re a health hazard:
Toronto Councillor Paula Fletcher (Ward 30, Toronto-Danforth) has received so many calls from constituents she’s asked the health department to declare them a […]

Last week or so, I was complaining when the Times (UK, not New York) ran a story about how bed bugs are taking over Los Angeles. As if they were not also taking over the UK.
This week, they’ve gone a step further, with Michele Kirsch’s three-page story on how Britain is “Infested” (not just […]

I was perplexed by this article from August 20th in the Times (London, not New York) about the spread of bed bugs, mainly because it was only about the bed bug epidemic in the USA.

New article and video from National Geographic today. This is one of the more scientific videos we’ve seen, and true to National Geographic’s style, includes footage of “traumatic insemination” (the nasty bedbug’s form of procreation), as well as eerie footage of bedbugs crawling on a person in bed, in the dark.
Also footage of Lawrence […]
