The Greenpoint HPD Bed Bug Seminar was last night.
I was not able to be there, but Miss Heather has an excellent recap on the evening.
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.

David Segal’s article in the Washington Post was frustrating on many levels, but most of all because the actual data presented was erroneous and misleading.
Kudos are now due to Renee of NewYorkvsBedbugs.org, who was surely the party responsible for convincing the Washington Post via this campaign to correct the erroneous information used by David Segal […]

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 […]

This Columbia Spectator article focuses on the personal plight of some folks with bed bugs living near Columbia University. It’s a nice article bound to raise some awareness of the problem. But what interests me is the section citing HPD statistics on bed bugs in NYC.

Three articles on bed bugs appeared today in the Washington Post. One gives a first-person account of what was apparently a not-so-serious bed bug case, and the second shrugs away the problem as a bunch of media hype.
“Yes, Tiny, Evil–and in My Bed” is the first, and provides yet another first-person account from […]

The first of three bed bug seminars planned by the city of New York happened last night. NBC Channel 4 did a brief recap on the 11 o’clock news, but video is not available from wnbc.com as of this writing.
