There's been a lot of Pollyannaish talk in the past month about how we may be turning the tide in the war against bedbugs, with rosy reports of the city "winning." Last month the city released stats suggesting that bedbug complaints to 311 were still on the rise, but were increasing at a slower pace. Victoryish! It was enough for DNAinfo, which triumphantly declared that the "bed bug epidemic that has plagued the city for nearly a decade finally appears to be waning." Today Patch brings the sad news that the bastards are surging, and have launched a brazen attack on schoolchildren in Carroll Gardens, in direct violation of the Geneva Bedbug Convention.

"My kids go to P.S. 58 and there was a flyer in the kids' folder yesterday stating that it's confirmed that there are bed bugs in the school," a concerned parent wrote to Patch this week.

And just because Hitler took Poland does not mean he's going to occupy France or anything!

Calls to the court administrator who sent the memo were not immediately returned, so we can only assume the entire criminal justice system has descended into blood-soaked chaos. Here at Gothamist we, for one, welcome our new bedbug overlords...
