Bed Bugs in New York – A City Guide | Bed Bugs

When people think of bed bug infested cities, the first city that often comes to mind is New York. One of the reasons for this correlation is the amount of media coverage that New York has received in the past few years over bed bug infestations in apartments and hotels.

If you have ever had bed bugs in your apartment then you would realize how taboo it is to those who have never had them. People who have living with bed bugs in New York dont go around telling friends and family my apartment is full of bed bugs, unless they want to be looked at with disgust. Having bedbugs in New York is almost like being a Leper, except you dont have any visible signs.

Even with all the media attention that has brought bed bugs into the spotlight many New Yorkers view bed bugs as the bubonic plague, even knowing the fact that anyone can get bedbugs regardless of income level or the neighborhood you live in.

While bedbugs can be found in many buildings across New York, there are certain steps you can take to ensure you encounter any problems with bedbugs.

Tenants Rights

If you were living in New York 10 years ago, there would often be fights over who had to pay for bed bug infestations: the tenant or the landlord. Usually this argument arose over the chicken and the egg theory: Did the tenant bring bed bugs into the apartment or were the bed bugs there before the tenant arrived? Now people realize that one bad apartment can spoil and entire building and infest it with bed bugs. This is why the city of New York made it mandatory for the Landlords to cover all costs associated with bed bugs.

Landlords in New York have a responsibility to make sure the unit is bedbug free. They also have to let you know if any bed bugs have been found in the building within the last 12 months and what floor they were found on. This information is valuable because your unit might not have bugs, but if the unit adjacent to yours is infested, dont be surprise if they bugs decide to spread.

Traveler Tips

Before planning a trip to New York it is important that you do your homework ahead of time. Doing a quick search through the Bedbugs.net Registry will reveal an hotels that have recent reports of bed bugs in them. It is important to look for reports that are recent and have not been resolved. You should also do a quick search through tripadvisor.com to make sure you dont see any reviews that claim bed bugs at the hotel.

2014 Top Bed Bug Cities in the USA

Chicago tops the 2013 Bed Bug Cities List, released today by pest control leader Orkin. The Windy Citys bed bug problem was serious enough that the City Council passed an ordinance in July 2013 requiring condo associations to have a formal management plan in place for the detection, inspection and treatment of these pests.

In the South, two major cities had the biggest jumps on the list from 2012 to 2013 Nashville moved up 17 spots while Charlotte climbed 18 spots. Other cities that made notable leaps up the list include Champaign/Springfield, Ill., Pittsburgh and Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville, S.C. On the other end of the spectrum, Omaha, Neb., Colorado Springs/Pueblo, Colo., Lexington, Ky. and Buffalo, N.Y. settled into significantly lower spots on the list than last year. Of the five new cities on the list, three are in the Midwest Toledo, Ohio, Peoria, Ill. and Davenport, Iowa/Moline, Ill. New Orleans and Kansas City took the final two spots on the list as new entries. On the east coast, six cities took positions lower on the list, including three cities in New York Albany, Buffalo and New York City.

Bed bugs continue to bite their way across the country as evidenced by the more than 20 percent increase in Rollins, Orkins parent company, bed bug business compared to 2012. The nationwide resurgence of the bed bug population prompted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to release a joint statement in 2012 advising the public of the emerging health issues associated with bed bugs.

While studies show that bed bugs do not spread disease, the physical and mental health consequences are well documented and of serious public concern, said Orkin entomologist and Technical Services Director Ron Harrison, Ph.D. Once bed bugs are inside your home or business, they can reproduce quickly and can travel from place to place in personal belongings and even on people. They can also move from place to place on their own, independently of objects.

Because every bed bug scenario is different, its important for homeowners to call on a professional who can create a solution tailored to their homes needs.

The list released by Orkin ranks the cities by the number of bed bug treatments Orkin performed from January to December 2013, along with any shift in ranking compared to January to December 2012.

Harrison offers the following tips to homeowners for bed bug prevention:

Bed bugs – Caneel Bay Forum – TripAdvisor

4. Re: Bed bugs

I have never heard of a bed bug problem at Caneel. When I googled Bedbug St. John, I found a few comments on Trip Advisor about problems at the Westin several years ago, but none at Caneel and given the tendency to complain about all manner of insects on St. John, I would think it would have come up. Tropical bedbugs are a slightly different species than temperate zone begbugs. Maybe easier to control? (you can find the most interesting information on the web!) I also found this article regarding noseeums and other insects from US Virgin Islands News, 4/23/12.

"BTW, Todd Roskin , the islands well known pest exterminator, says in the six years he;s been doing pest control on the island, hes never seen a bed bug. Thats ANOTHER way St. Johns better than New York."

Doesn't seem like something to worry about. (by the way, before you comment, the 'St. John's" above is a contraction, not the typical mistaken possessive. I read it a couple of times because it threw me, thinking it was the town.)

Bed Bugs Atlanta | Clark Pest Remedy – TESTIMONIALS

I wanted to provide a testimonial for you to add to your website: I highly recommend Clark Pest Remedy. The morning after returning from vacation, we discovered what we thought might be bed bugs in our daughter's bed. A call to Clark Pest Remedy was responded to immediately, and Fred Salter, a Clark Team Member, was at our house within two hours (another company we called told us it would be four days until a technician could come out.) Following Fred's thorough inspection, we were relieved to learn that we did not have bed bugs, only a few carpet beetles. Fred even refused any payment for the visit...unbelievable in this day and age! Fred was courteous, professional, and took his time to educate us on what we needed to know and to look out for in the future. I would utilize Clark Pest Remedy again without hesitation, and strongly recommend them. Mike B. Alpharetta

I was impressed with Garey's quick response after I submitted a request for information on their website. He was professional and set up a meeting right away with his bed bug dog, Ben. Garey and Ben saved me hundreds of dollars. After a thorough inspection, no bed bugs were found. I would use Clark Pest Remedy again and will recommend them to others.

Signed, a customer in Marietta, GA

Professional, On Time and well spoken. We have been very happy with the service we have received. Customer Review - Drew H. McDonough, GA

Garey and his team were very responsive, punctual, professional but approachable. I would use them again and highly recommend them to anyone with a bud bug issue or any other pest control. Customer Review - J. C. from Mcdonough, GA Work Description: Beb bug eradication

To Whom It May Concern:

In May, 2011, Garey Clark and Clark Pest Remedy treated our two-story house for bed bugs using their state of the art thermal remediation equipment, followed immediately with a pesticide application for assurance of ridding our home of its bed bug infestation. The treatment was very successful, with still no sign of recurring bed bugs after almost 6 months! Several months before calling Mr. Clark, we had hired a conventional, nationwide extermination company for $1,000.00 who had failed to rid our home of bed bugs, despite pesticides applications on three separate occasions due to bed bug recurrences.

However, concerning Garey Clark and his staff, we were completely satisfied with their professionalism, thoroughness, efficiency, and friendliness in getting the job done in a timely fashion. They clearly explained what we needed to do to prepare our home and furnishings before beginning the treatment. We had checked them out on the Internet, and called two of their references before hiring them to do the job. We discovered only very positive recommendations and results from their previous customers.

We would heartily recommend Garey Clark and his company Clark Pest Remedy to rid your home or business of any bed bug infestations. Their price was reasonable for the effective treatment received, and was considerably less expensive than the quote from a nearby competitor offering similar services.
