Bed Bugs NYC

Lately I've been reading about real estate in NY, Manhattan, I'm trying to move from London. But this article and others like it are really scary...

Most of you here are prolly in NY so do you know if the bed bug invasion is just a panic about somthing statistically insignificant or a real problem? Is it going away?

Have any of you had experience with them, or know people who have... whats the situation like?

I think it's a bit overblown (knock on wood, haven't had 'em). However, I would personally be so pissed if I moved into a place with bedbugs. I hate insects and love sleep and so if the former ruined the latter I'd be doubly bitter.

Also, have not heard from any friends personally that they've had problems with these (not that all would admit it - sort of embarassing). Don't let it make or break your situation; move somewhere nice and you'll be ok.

And check the Bedbug Registry, basically a WSO for people with bedbugs who need exit ops to better apts.

 
JeffSkillingI don't know how you guys do it. Having to deal with this would really BUG me.

YEAH, can't we just put this issue to BED? (high fives jeffskilling, top-gun style)

 

Thanks. All the articles were so dramatic, but it just feels like its not that big a deal.

The idea of having bed bugs just freaks me out... every hour of sleep is priceless and on top of job stress to worry about some insects... brutal..

I still dont get why they banned DDT, some birds died or something and it "might" cause diabetes in really huge doses...

 

Bed bugs, really now? You should be more worried about picking up crabs from those skanks from the club
