Bedbugs attack at Manayunk movie theater, lawsuit claims

Posted on June 26, 2014 by admin Click Here For Article

An East Germantown woman's cinema outing morphed into a real-life creature feature when she was aggressively attacked by bedbugs at a local movie theater, according to a lawsuit filed Monday in the civil division of the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas.

Sabrina Hammond attended the United Artists Main Street Theatre 6 in Manayunk on Sept. 28, 2013, according to the complaint. While there, she became fodder for a hoard of bloodthirsty bedbugs, the lawsuit claims.

Hammond allegedly suffered serious parasite-related injuries to the head, body and extremities, including, but not limited to bites on her legs and buttocks, and a severe shock to the nerves and nervous system, according to the suit.

The complaint claims the damage has interfered with Hammonds daily routine and may be permanent. Hammond will have to continue to spend money on medical treatment in the future, the suit alleges.

Both Hammond and her attorney declined to comment, citing the pending litigation.

Reports of bedbugs have been on the rise in Philadelphia for the past several years. A 2013 Terminix survey ranked Philly as the nations second most bedbug-infested city.

A Penn Medicine study published earlier this year in the Journal of Medical Entomology found that, from 2008 to 2011, reports of bedbugs in the city rose 4.5 percent each month, an increase of nearly 70 percent year to year. The study recorded 382 reports of bedbug infestations in Philadelphia during those three years.

That number exploded between September 2011 and June 2012, when city residents made 236 reports of bedbug infestations, according to study results. The number of infestations peaked annually in August and reached a yearly low each February, the study found.

Health department offers class on preventing bed bugs

KANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV) -

The health department has seen a jump in the number of calls coming in concerning nasty bed bugs so, for the first time, they are offering a special class to help homeowners battle the bugs.

"All they eat is human blood," said Michael Swoyer with the Kansas City, MO, Health Department. "That's all they eat, that's all they want."

Swoyer is on a mission to help families squash the problem for good.

"No matter how clean you are, no matter how wealthy you are, anybody can get bed bugs because they just hitch hike in on what people are wearing or what people are carrying," Swoyer said.

He says it's alarming just how quickly one bed bug can multiply.

"She goes off and hides, and so that's why the one that crawls into your backpack or purse could very well be a pregnant female and she's got 500 fertilized eggs inside of her," Swoyer said.

He believes education is the best tool to combat the growing problem, so he came up with an idea to offer families a free class about prevention and information about what to do to get your house ready for a professional if you spot critters.

"There's a lot of prep work involved with any type of pest management. Clutter is an issue, sanitation is an issue. If all that is cleared up beforehand, then companies can do their job that much quicker and get out of there that much quicker," Swoyer said.

After completing the two-hour class, the homeowner will get a coupon for a discount they can use with several pest control companies. It's being done in an effort to stop the blood-sucking vampires that are lurking in your sheets.

Help On The Way For Elderly Woman After Apartment Is Bed Bug Infested

OKLAHOMA CITY -

An 80-year-old Oklahoma City woman with a bad bed bug problem in her apartment has gotten relief from complete strangers.

Nancy Nussle has lived at Isola Bella Apartments for five years. Last year, her complex sprayed her apartment for free for bed bugs. She says that problem caused her to get rid of all of her furniture except for a modest cot that she's been sleeping on.

The bed bugs returned recently. Bites on Nancy's arms and legs were visible when News 9 met with her Thursday.

Nussle was heartbroken because she says her landlord wanted her to pay the $400 it would cost to spray for bed bugs the second time. Nussle lives on social security, and said there was no way she could pay it. Her landlord told us she could pay off the balance in installments.

After our initial story aired Thursday night, we got several calls from area exterminator companies, and from people in the community, who wanted to help the 80-year-old woman.

"You keep thinking you can't get any lower, and then something great happens," said Nussle. "I'm looking forward to life now."

On Friday, the spraying got done for Nussle and free of charge. Also, Nancy received some monetary support, as well as a new bed and a new couch from strangers.

(PRWEB) June 12, 2014

The summer is a time of warm weather and vacation that everyone loves; people visit the beach, go on cruises, fly to other states or continents and visit a variety of travel destinations. Summer time is a great season though there are still numerous reasons to take extra safety percussion's when going away.

Since the winter and spring were cold and long, bed bugs have been hiding out in sofas and mattresses, planting eggs and wait for the warmer weather to arrive. Now that the summer is here bed bugs are finally showing themselves and they could be coming in large numbers. Plenty of pests, including bed bugs, will be coming around now that the weather is warm and nicer.

A bed bug is a parasite that was mainly carried by birds and dogs. When a bed bug bites you, it sucks a tiny portion of your blood but end up leaving itchy red rashes on your body. They like to nest in warm places such as homes and often stay hidden in the creases of beds or sofas. Bed Bugs got their name from the fact that they mostly being found in beds.

Bed bugs have become a serious pest problem all around the world. They can travel to many different places by using your clothing or luggage as transportation. These insects can infest a building very quickly if someone carries them in. People do not know when they carry bed bugs in since they are about the size of an apple seed, which makes them very hard to see. No matter where you stay, it is recommended to check the reviews of the place, people will usually share and report if they have noticed a bed bug infestation.

In early May, an elementary school in south New Jersey sent kids home with a letter warning parents of bed bugs in the school. No one knows who tracked in the bed bugs but the staff has found some bed bug eggshells. Even though there was only a few bed bugs found, the school brought in a pest control professional to handle the situation. Since the early discovery, the bed bug problem was handled promptly and they were unable to find any more bed bugs occurrences in that school.

Bed Bugs Are Biting

Bed bugs forced a hospital to temporarily close a waiting room. It happened at Cox South in Springfield. An exterminator treated the waiting room today.

We wondered how common bed bugs are, and how to deal with them. It turns out bed bugs are making more appearances around this area recently. Exterminators tell us what we need to be aware of if these creatures pay our homes a visit.

"They're parasitic insects they feed on blood," says David Blake with Ortex Pest Management Professional. Blake says bed bugs are bittng more of us lately. "Three to four years ago I'd get one to two calls a week. Now I'm getting five to ten calls a week and we're just one of many companies," says Blake.

Many don't realize bed bugs are visible. "They're the size of Lincon's head on a penny," says Blake.

Plus, bed bugs leave a mark. "Bites on skin is the number one thing. Or the stains they leave behind are rusty brown," explains Blake.

Travel increases the spread of bed bugs. "Springfield's a big college town so you've got kids coming in from all over. You've got Branson right down the road, so people coming to travel to go to Branson," explains Blake.

Bed bugs are attracted to our body heat, and the carbon dioxide we exhale. "So as you're laying in bed at night, you're warm, you're exhaling a lot," adds Blake.

Joel Z. Williams created a youtube video of a homemade method of exterminating bed bugs on a budget called "Create a Co2 Bedbug Trap using The "Missouri Method." Williams says, "I will teach you how to put together a long lasting, non-toxic, bed bug trap that relies on CO2."

There are also other methods. "There's a lot of circumstances with pests where it's okay to use homemade stuff but with something as severe as bed bugs, I wouldn't use anything like that. I'd call a professional who knows what they're talking about and knows how to apply the chemicals directly," says Blake.

Exterminators use a B&G gun to kill bed bugs. If they need to use this in your house, be prepared to leave for about five hours. "And it is expensive to get rid of," adds Blake. Blake says the minimum cost is about three to four hundred dollars. "But it can go up from there into the thousand dollar range," adds Blake.
