While all of the country has been affected by bed bug problems, New York has definitely had it bad. With the proper bed bug treatment, any site can eliminate bed bugs. If left untreated though - whether in the summer or winter - bed bug problems can spread, and are sure to affect anyone involved

Ok, it's sad, summer's technically over. Shed a tear, slather on some aloe vera, etc etc. But you know what we never miss about the warmest, funnest time of the year? All the goddamn bedbugs. Those little terrors are everywhere, and they thrive in the heat, hitting their peak in 80-degree weather.

You may have blocked the details out of your memory, but we do still live in the most bedbug-prone borough of the most bedbug-prone city in the entire country, having seen a massive resurgence over the past few years of the pest that at one point was largely eradicated from the Western world. We even have our own Bed Bug Advisory Board, created out of necessity. But hey, at least they're a great equalizer.

The most recent and public victims of our 21st-century plague were over at the Brooklyn Children's Museum, whose angry employees went to the Daily News with stories of what they thought was inadequate handling of this month's minor outbreak. Museum officials say the problem has been settled and that further precautionary spraying is scheduled.

While that gets sorted, let's take a look at a few more high-profile spots around Brooklyn to fall victim. It's as comforting as it is terrifying.

Back in May, we reported on complaints of an infestation at the 78th Precinct station house, with one prisoner reportedly griping that "the insects were nipping at him." The station, which usually brings in local DWI arrests for testing, temporarily outsourced the process while treating the affected cells. To date, there don't seem to have been any further outbreaks at the station, so the friendly neighborhood drunk tank can move forward undisturbed.

The forever embattled hospital added one more item to its list of PR problems in July 2010, courtesy of one lone, extremely destructive bed bug.

After an insect was found on a patient in the hospital, one of their triage rooms was subsequently closed for inspection and fumigation, amid widespread speculation.

A spokesperson for the hospital told reporters at the time, "There is no infestation. We are talking about one patient," shortly before asking the journalists to leave the hospital's grounds.
