NYC Bed Bug Registry Infestation Maps, Residential and Hotel

ATLANTA Bed bugs died after feeding on people treated with Mercks Stromectol, a treatment typically used against parasitic worms, in the first study to investigate its potential to control the blood-suckers.

Three out of five bed bugs died after blood meals from people who had taken Stromectol, also called ivermectin, three hours earlier, according to research presented at a scientific meeting in Atlanta Monday. The pill, along with conventional measures such as pesticides, may improve chances of eliminating the pest, said John Sheele, an emergency physician at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, who led the study.

Stromectol is used to treat diseases caused by worm parasites such as river blindness, one of the leading causes of preventable blindness, and elephantiasis, or lymphatic filariasis, which causes certain parts of the body to become enlarged. Sheeles research suggests its pesticidal properties may also fight bed bug incursions, experienced by more than 400,000 New York City residents in 2009.

Ivermectin is effective against a broad range of insects body lice, head lice, scabies, Sheele said in an interview. What Id like to be able to do is a real-world experiment where we find people who have bed bugs, treat them with the regimen and see does it get rid of their infestation.

Bed bugs are small, flat insects that feed solely on the blood of people and animals while they sleep.

Fairfield, NJ (PRWEB) June 15, 2012

Bell Environmental Services, one of the New York metropolitan areas leading pest control companies, performed its services for more than 40 years with little fanfare. Then Bed Bugs returned to the US. Bell Environmental responded to the bedbug epidemic by applying its high quality, environmentally-friendly pest control solutions, and spotlighting the skills of its beagle detective, Roscoe the Bed Bug Dog].

The question Wheres Roscoe? referencing the companys television commercials, has become as ubiquitous as bed bug phobia the past several years.

Bell Environmental, headquartered in Fairfield, N.J., is more than just a bed bug firm, as long-time employees, current and former clients, business partners, and friends attending the firms 50th anniversary party on Saturday, June 16, can attest.

Though a beagle, Roscoe has gotten the lions share of public attention. Roscoe has been featured on Good Morning America, Animal Planet, and CBS News and local news programs since joining Bell in 2008. While Bell Environmentals bed bug services have received the most media coverage over the last decade, the firm has been a full-service pest control company since its founding. Bell Environmentals President Phil Waldorf started the firm in 1963.

Were proud of our 50 years in business," Waldorf said. "We've always put our customers first and are pleased so many will join us to celebrate this milestone."

About Bell Environmental Services Bell Environmental began in 1963 with a commitment to high customer service. It has brought innovative technology and environmentally sound bed bug control and commercial pest control methods to customers in New York City and its metropolitan area for decades. Owned and operated by its founding management, Bell leads the way in finding alternatives to dangerous pesticides to eliminate infestations of insects, rodents, and pest birds at facilities throughout the Northeastern United States. More information on Bell Environmental can be found at http://www.bell-environmental.com.

Airbnb, the site where people rent apartments and houses to strangers, is lobbying for its cause in Washington, reports Slate's Matthew Yglesias.

The site has an edge over hotels in that it draws tourists to smaller cities that may or may not lack big chains. But not every city's OK with this:

"One reason those neighborhoods dont have hotel beds is that in most cities you cant just slap up a hotel in a residential neighborhood or turn an existing residential property into one," Yglesias says. "Big cities draw a fairly firm distinction between a house and a hotel, but Airbnbs entire business is based on obscuring that line."

For consumers, the real question is whether or not using the site is legal. Here are some reasons renting to strangers on Airbnb might not be smart:

-NYC residents can't rent their apartment out for less than 30 days, according to YM contributor BrickUnderground, though many still do. Fines start at $1,600, reaching up to $5,000 for the first offense, the site says. Check out the state's Multiple Dwelling Law for details.

-Renters and co-op owners can be evicted if the city catches on, at least in New York.

-According to a hotelier in Rome who spoke up on a Quora thread, "it's illegal to rent our space without authorization from the city (comune). It's not easy to obtain this, and in some cases wouldn't be possible at all." The same might apply elsewhere abroad.

-Neighbors could complain, leading the police to fine you and issue a violation, said BrickUnderground. There are also the issues of bed bugs, safety and noise.

18-01-2012 10:30 Learn how to kill bed bugs without spending too much. "City housing officials got so antsy over a bedbug invasion that they shipped off 5000 boxes of files for fumigation, forcing Housing Court cases to be postponed. The bloodsuckers turned up at the Department of Housing Preservation and development around Nov. 15, leading to the evacuation of the entire third floor, which contains the tax-incentives divisions and parts of the housing-litigation and IT divisions. Officials said that even though the critters were spotted only in isolated areas, a top-to-bottom cleaning was ordered, meaning everything on the floor had to be temporarily relocated." Bed bugs can hide not only on clothes and luggage. Even in books and magazines, they can also be present. Proofs of that are the several cases of bed bug infestation in libraries. And given that, it was just right for the New York Housing Court to be anxious about their presence.
