Indy on list of bed bug-infested cities

Posted on June 12, 2012 by pcenet Click Here For Article

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Indianapolis has joined the ranks of the most bed bug-infested cities in the U.S.

The Circle City is ranked number 13 in a study conducted by Terminix. It is the citys first appearance on the list.

Increased travel throughout the summer is a big cause of the rising number of bed bugs seen.

The list compiled data from the 300 Terminix branches across the country. The company created the rankings by evaluating service calls from customers, as well as confirmed cases by service professionals.

Other Midwest cities on the list include: Cincinnati, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio.

The city that tops the list is Philadelphia. New York City dropped to third on the list after holding the top spot for two years.

As travelers plan to hit the road this summer, Terminix has some advice to slow the spread of bed bugs. It includes checking hotel mattresses for bed bugs, avoiding storing clothing in the hotels furniture drawers and vacuuming suitcases when one returns home.

Nina In New York: Apparently, Liquor Is Like Kryptonite To Bed Bugs

A lighthearted look at news, events, culture and everyday life in New York.______________________

By Nina Pajak

According to new research reported in theNew York Daily News, the presence of alcohol in a persons blood curbs the growth and egg production of feasting bed bugs. Turns out theyre all teetotalers, and if they detect youve been hitting the sauce, they eat less.

Oh, Santa. Youdo exist!

A wonderfulentomology Ph.D. candidate at the University of Nebraska by the name of Ralph Narain (aka. my hero) has just presented the results of his study at a conference on urban entomology in Atlanta. It turns out that bed bugs who fed on sober blood laid 44 eggs and doubled in size, while the ones who got inadvertently tooootally wasted only laid around twelve eggs and grew 12.5% on average.

Okay, sure, a dozen eggs is still much, much worse than zero, but its way better than 44! For those like me who are deathly terrified of the suckers, well take any good news we can get. And for those like me who will use any excuse to treat herself to a glass (or three) of wine, well. This is like a little gift. A gift of validatednay, encouraged! self-medication. I wont lie: Ive had to Pinot Noir myself to sleep on many a bug-phobic insomniac night. This news just means that instead of shame, I should feel vindicated! Or at least somewhat productive.

Maybe the bugs will evolve to learn to avoid we booze hounds entirely. Theyll be able to smell it on our breath or through our pores, like little vampire insect highway cops or prohibition agents.

This one smells like an after hours gin joint, fellas.

Quick! To the Mormon family across the hall!

Senior living residents complain of bed bug infestation

St. Petersburg, Florida - Lloyd Crossman thought he'd live his golden years in paradise. Instead he says his living situation at the MLF Towers in downtown St. Petersburg have become a nightmare.

"They get in the corners near the creases and this is where I found mine," says Crossman showing us his bed mattress.

Late last week, tiny bites appeared all over Lloyd's legs and feet. Then he heard from the neighbors.

"They said Ahhh, you've got bed beg bites ... look at mine! There were 10, 12 people ... they were all bitten up."

Crossman says some other residentsat the MLF Towersare even worse off, confined to wheelchairs and unable to scratch their backs covered in bites.

"It's just human compassion. You just don't allow that to happen," said Crossman.

While some have been told to get rid of their bedding and clothing, for many living on fixed incomes, that is not an option.

"There's no empathy here," says Crossman. "MLF, they say we've been trying to educate people on what bed bugs look like ... That's not the point! The point is a comprehensive plan to eliminate them."

We were unable to reach anyone at MLF's corporate office, and while an exterminator has been out to treat the carpets and bedding, Crossman worries he'll have to find a new paradise to retire.

"I never wanted to leave this place, but I'm not going to live my last few years living in fear of being bitten alive by those bed bugs."
