This article reports that bed bugs are getting around in Orange County, Florida:
“Our inspectors are saying in recent months, even the last year, we’ve been seeing more complaints of bed bugs in our area,” said Dain Weister of the Orange County Health Department.
Even the most popular hotels are not immune.
WFTV channel 9 reports that one […]

“… when bedbugs spread to her apartment, and when the Toronto Community Housing Corporation could not respond to her complaints…, she booked a fumigator on her own and paid… to take care of the problem. She has now been reimbursed by TCHC.” This […]

We were part of a radio station’s answer to a trivia question, and we had no idea!
It was 1015 The Point in Tampa, Florida’s Nearly Impossible Question, and we have no idea when, but suspect it was after Tampa’s News 10 mentioned us last April.
Anyway, this is old news. Eight months later, bed […]

The University of Florida News reports on tests being run by U of F researchers on bed bug dogs:
Nine-pound Nudie’s feet skitter across the concrete floor as she speeds by, keeping her tiny nose to the ground. She scurries around the perimeter of a bed, then hops on top.
“Find your B’s, find your B’s,” handler […]

Oh dear, yesterday’s news round-up missed the Tampa Bay CBS news website’s article about bed bugs, which kindly directed many Tampa residents here.
Well, I wish I’d seen it yesterday, so I could have warned more of the folks from Tampa. The CBS article isas originally posted, was wrong: do NOT use […]

I’ve heard reports from various areas that haven’t seen many cases of bed bugs yet that Pest Control Operators often don’t know how to deal with them. We’ve heard this from readers near Yellowstone Park, and in Yorkshire, England. It makes sense of course, but the reasonable response is to do your homework. […]

Doug Summers of Mold Dog Environmental, who is a reader of the blog as well as a bed bug dog professional, sent us a clip from the news in Tampa, in which he’s interviewed about his bed bug dog Abbey, the training process, etc. Most interesting is the footage of Abbey being put through […]

Got some information today on DC and FL laws vis-a-vis extermination (whose responsibility it is to pay does depend on locality in the US). I added this to our FAQ for tenants, but I am also putting it here, so people can see the update, especially because DC’s laws are different from those […]

Oy, Bradenton / Sarasota / Manatee Florida: Bradenton Herald business reporter Robin Roger is steering you wrong. The article “Mattress sweeper prevents the bed bugs’ bite” is about dust mites.
Back in August, there was a local station which covered the NYC City Council hearing on bed bugs and used a photo of a […]
