Bed bug cases in NYC drop to 4-year low

NEW YORK CITY (PIX11) Good news, New York. There are fewer bed bugs crawling in your sheets.

Infestations by the tiny brown critters have dropped every year for the past four years, according to new data from the housing department.

Brooklyn has the unsavory distinction of having the most bed bug violations since 2010, but all five boroughs have seen declines in confirmed bed bug cases, according to the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

Citywide, bedbug infestations were cut by nearly 53 percent from 4,808 in 2010 to 2,268 in 2013.

Housing officials credited the drop to legislation enacted in 2011 that required landlords to properly deal with infestations, and to better awareness citywide of the crawly critters.

As opposed to just a few years ago, people today are considerably more vigilant and there is more and better information available to the general public regarding how to prevent and deal with infestations, the city said in a statement releasing the new figures.

The numbers reflect confirmed infestations between fiscal year 2010 and fiscal year 2013, which ends in July.

The cases were reported in the housing departments jurisdiction, that is, homes that are being rented. The latest data does not include statistics for co-ops, condos, private homes, public housing, schools, offices, hospitals or any commercial spaces, including movie theaters.

Bed bugs are tiny insects, about the size of an apple seed, that are usually active at night. They live in cracks in furniture, floors and walls, and feed on blood.

Woman Claims To Have More Than 400 Bed Bug Bites from Local Motel

Posted on June 3, 2014 by admin Click Here For Article

Since Jan. 1, 2014, four complaints of bedbugs have been received by the Rockingham-Harrisonburg Health Department:

ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, Va. (WHSV) -- A woman is blaming the Economy Inn in Rockingham County, where she stayed a night, after leaving with dozens of bed bug bites on her arms.

The health department is now involved, but the owner said he has never had any bug problems.

"There was bugs all over the bed, and my blood all over the bed, little specks of blood all over the bed," explained Virginia Parrott, who travels about four months of the year for her job in the health care industry.

She paid for a week at the motel, but said one night turned into a nightmare.

"Throughout my arms, my hands and my whole torso area," continued Parrott, "I have over 400 bites on my body."

Nick Desai, the owner of the Economy Inn, said there's no evidence of bed bugs; instead he said, this is about money.

Desai provided WHSV with a tour of the room where Parrott stayed, and no bed bugs were found. Later on Monday, a health inspector examined the room and found four or five dead bugs, as well as two more in the room next door.

Desai released this statement:

I amabout 3 months into a 2 year lease and found bed bugs abouta month and a half ago at the condo Im renting. The owner claims that the bed bugs were not there before we came, but we did not have bed bugsbefore we moved in soI think its difficult if not impossible to prove if:a) We brought the bugsthere b) The bugs were there alreadyc) The bugs arrived after we got thereSince I have a friend in the pest control industry I decided not to bother the land lord right away and just try to deal with the problem myself. Here is what we have personally done over the past month to get rid of the bed bugs:1) Sprayed the entire house 3 separate times. The cost of the chemicals at wholesale price was $70. Besides the cost spraying for bed bugs is time consuming and my wife developed anallergic reaction to the spray for which she needed to go to the doctor.2) Threw away our two year old mattress. It will probably cost $700-$900 to replace and weve been sleeping on an air mattress for the past month. We will continue to sleep on an uncomfortable air mattress until our lives are bed bug free.3) Laundered all our clothing and bedding twice.I estimate that this has cost us about $70.4) Sprayed bed bug foggers from HomeDepot twice.Cost for foggers: $60.In summary weve spent a substantial amount of time and about $200 + the cost of a new mattress to deal with these pests on our own and they are still around. My two questions are:1) What legal rights do I have to request that my Landlord take care of the problem? Is it his responsibility or mine? I dont plan on trying to charge him for the work/money I have already spent but it isobvious to me that this is a problem that needsthe help of a professional pest control agent that specializes in bed bugs. 2) Ifmy landlord does not or cannot rectify the bed bug problem am I entitled tobreak the lease withoutpenalty?Thanks for any advice you might have.

Bed Bug Extermination Prices Try Our Free Quote Request Tool!

Bed bug infestations have been on the rise in the United States for the last couple of decades. Once associated with poor hygiene and poverty, the bugs resurgence is, according to research, caused by international travel, immigration, changes in pest control practices, and insecticide resistance. Bed bugs live in places where there are ample human and animal hosts such as homes, apartments, hotels, and dormitories. Theyre difficult to eradicate and exterminator fees often run into the thousands of dollars.

While they dont carry disease, bed bugs present an existential nightmare for most. The surest way to identify an infestation is to find a live bed bug. Adult bugs can be spotted with the unaided eye; theyre oval, flat, rusty-colored, and about 5 mm long. After feeding theyre slightly more elongated (see a pre and post-feeding bed bug picture here).

Short of finding a live bed bug (which is tough to do because they feed at around 4 a.m. and hide during the day), household members or visitors might notice small, pink, itchy skin welts that resemble mosquito bites. Many bite victims dont react at all, although extreme reactions can lead to asthma, hives, and in rare cases, anaphylaxis. Other ways to identify bed bugs are their excrement (tiny dark spots), shed beg bug skin, and blood smears from crushed bugs.

If youre like most people, even the slightest evidence of bed bugs is cause to call an exterminator. Heres what to expect once the local bug guy or gal arrives:
