When we created the BedBugNewsReports.com it was so you could learn from the mistakes [and a few success stories] of others. Todays headline / story about Bedbugs in rental properties in Somerville New Jersey gives us LOTS to learn.

BedBugs are a growing problem EVERYWHERE, but there are enough stories about Bedbugs in rental properties, low-income housing, shelters and cheap motels to keep the clich about Bedbugs alive and well. Much of the myth and folk-lore, that I [the famous MrBedbug] rant about comes from situations like this. Lets take a look at THIS news item from mycentraljersey.com and the Gannet News Co.
The first thing we find is an old house, converted to a rooming house, renting individual rooms. Just like a hotel or motel, this is the perfect breeding ground for BedBugs in New Jersey, or elsewhere, because of the transient population.
BedBugs are hitchhikers. They cling to any fabric that smells like a tasty-human all-you-can-eat buffet. Bedbugs dont like poor people. They like people who a mobile, moving from place to place. Once an infestation starts, the more potential transportation-options that interact with those Bedbugs, the greater the distribution across a rooming house, a hotel, a city of a State. Curious how it can effect YOU? Just ask the folks who live in any of the Top 50 Most BedBug Infested Cities.
The next thing we can learn from this story is: BedBugs are the insect worlds best hide-and-seek players. Unless you clean every room used for sleeping and storing clothes, the Bedbugs will begin a new infestation, then spread to ajoining rooms, over and over and over. One of the 1st places that I [the famous MrBedBug] look for traces of BedBug harborage [nesting areas] is inside electric wall sockets, under the edge of carpets, baseboards and wall-paper seams. WHY? Because these are all small, dark, quiet hiding places, that also lead to other rooms in the house. The ex-military chef who is afraid to visit family and friends is correct. It is highly likely she would start a new infestation in those homes too. What the greater community doesnt understand is the residents of this house go to movies, visit the library and DR offices. This population is carrying BedBugs around New Jersey like Santa with a Bag-full of toys.
This is why the professional treatments [reported in this story] have been ineffective up to this point. It does NO good to kill the BedBugs in one room, when there are 900 next door. I will guarantee you [sooner, NOT later] the Bedbugs in the untreated room will be wandering around the clean room the first time a tasty-human is sleeping there, [15 minutes after the professional franchise exterminator has walked away].
That leads us to the next thing you need to learn. Professional exterminators can be hired to do a job, but they arent your Mommy or your maid. They will treat the room, but that is very different than solving the real problem. If you want to learn HOW TO AVOID BEDBUGS, Get the facts.
