Get Rid of Bed Bugs at AMC Empire 25 – Change.org

AMC Empire 25 appears to be infested with bed bugs yet again.

The bed bug scare appeared at AMC Empire 25 in 2010, it returned in 2011 and returned again in 2015 - now it is back again in 2017. Yet, their exterminator claims that there were no bed bugs? How, if a woman posted pictures of them?

Over and over, throughout the years people were bit by bed bugs at this theater.

Bed bugs bite. And removing them from a home can cost thousands. Getting bed bugs into a house or apartment can literally ruin lives and cost people their life savings. Many patrons are not aware of that or their presence when they visit AMC Empire 25.

So AMC Empire 25 shall do one of two possible things:

1. Put up a giant sign on their front doors saying "THIS THEATER HAS BEDBUGS"

or, and this is preferred,

2. renovate just like AMC Kips Bay 15 or AMC Village 7 did.

or, and this is very pragmatic,

3. Hire additional exterminators, as your current one doesn't seem to be doing his job properly. Hire a second or third or even fourth one. A lady posted pictures of a bed bug and your exterminator told you that there were none? That is very, very hard to believe.

But remaining the way it is now is simply putting customers into dangerous positions often without their knowledge.

This constant bed bug scare at AMC Empire 25 needs to end.

UPDATE 10/12/2017: Thanks to the Gothamist for shining attention to the issue: http://gothamist.com/2017/10/12/bed_bugs_movies_nyc.php

AMC claims there are no bed bugs because their third-party exterminator allegedly received negative results at the night of the complaints. Well, this might then be a great opportunity to hire another exterminator. The newest pictures literally showed a bug in the theater, which was identified by an expert on bed bugs to be around 8 weeks old. Maybe a second or third exterminator would be a good idea. Because since 2010, their exterminator apparently hasn't been doing his job right.

Did I Pick Up Bed bugs in the Airport? | Hearts Consulting …

During my trip to NY, I spoke with two PCOs about bed bugs. In fact, in NY, its hard to have a pest management professional talk about anything but bed bugs. It is on their minds non-stop, for good reason. The market for bed bug work is endless. You would think that pest management professionals have reached conclusions about how to treat, but they havent, nor have they reached any common conclusions on how to price. Thats actually a very good thing, as different companies gear themselves to different segments of the bed bug market.I was surprised to hear how much cryonite has entered the marketplace as a valued control mechanism. I have always thought that freezing was an excellent alternative to heating, with better penetration in a quick timeframe with equipment that is far less expensive than heat. Whether using heating or freezing equipment, what you cant get around in some unusual logistics. The equipment just doesnt jive with what you traditionally find on a pest control vehicle.

I found there are still companies in NY, like our own, that believe you can do one and only one bed bug treatment effectively. Yet that is not the only criteria for having only one treatment, as liability concerns dictate much of what happens in the bed bug market.

There seem to be more folks leaning to Steri-Fab over Bedlam, but while both products can be used on a bed, they are apples and oranges non-residual vs. residual. They each have their place.

So whats up with bed bugs in the airport? I just realized that although Ive been having conversations all week about bed bugs, I forgot to check for them in the airport! Perhaps its a false calm, but Im happy I flew Southwest out of Islip, Long Island, rather than Newark, Kennedy or LaGuardia, the urban centered airports. I love Southwest, because of what they have great service and what to date, they dont seem to have. Bed bugs.

Where Do Bed Bugs Hide In The Winter NYC?

Where Do Bed Bugs Hide In The Winter? A number of animals are known to slumber in the winter, while others tend to slow or alter their normal activities. This is because their bodies cannot adapt to the cold very well, so they find themselves feeling more sluggish than normal. This explains why its so hard to get rid of your relatives after Christmas dinner.

Many insects are the same way. They are unable to cope as well in the cold as they can in the warmer months of the year, so they become more scarce than normal. For some homeowners, this prompts a very simple question: where do bed bugs hide in the winter?

This a tricky question, because there is one simple truth to face: bed bugs do not stay outside when it gets cold. Bed bugs might be difficult to get rid of, especially in the case of an infestation, but their bodies are fragile. If they attempted to stay outside during winter, they wouldnt stand a chance. They would quickly die off.

The fact is that bed bugs do not have the ability to hibernate. When winter arrives, they have no choice but to push through it and try to survive. The best way for them to do this is to find a warm place to hide out. If they can get inside your home, this becomes their warm place. And since bed bugs can often live up to a year without feeding, they can stay hidden for a good long while.

Now that weve established that there is no chance that bed bugs will attempt to stay outside since it would mean certain death, you must consider where they will hide inside your house. Although the simple answer would be that bed bugs will hide in the same areas as they do during other parts of the year, it is important that you pay closer attention to places that are heated during the winter. Start looking in places such as

Instead of concentrating on searching for evidence of bed bugs in attics or basements where it might be chilly, look in the warmer areas of your house such as bedrooms. As always, bed bugs will hide in cracks and holes in the wall, along with inside mattresses and other furniture, where they will take up residence until such time that they can venture out (usually at night) and find a juicy person to sink their teeth into. No matter the season, always be on the lookout for these nasty parasites!

If you have difficulty locating them or getting rid of them, it is a good idea to call a professional. With the increase of bed bug infestations over the years, pest control experts are well versed on how to get rid of bed bugs. If needed, they may suggest that you employ the use of bed bug dogs in order to locate them. At that point, these professionals will evaluate your needs and recommend what would be best in your specific situation.
