Talking to a SCUMnectady landlord today. Rents to a woman and her SEVEN kids (section . Women goes to the city and tells them she has bed bugs. The city tells the landlord that it is landlord's responsibility to exterminate. Landlord can't do their own exterminating....have to hire a professional....at a cost of $1200 +!!!
Landlord tells me that one of the main culprits of spreading bedbugs is 'public transit'.....buses/cabs!!!

If a house is infested you pretty much need a professional, its not like setting down ant traps. The one company who deals with them literally cooks them to death, they place heating units in the rooms and it raises the temperatures to very high heat. Bad part is nobody can get the infestations under control, they are spreading fast throughout the country

Violent crime, failing schools, high illiteracy rate, poverty, bug infestations, and a corrupt government benefitting corporate interests - Schenectady has all the markings of a 3rd World banana republic.
The average 3rd world banana republic doesn't have...
- Free housing (but somehow people manage to afford pay television) - Free food - Free healthcare
Banana republics exploit the general population leaving them with reduced wages and living conditions, while the few corporate and government elite financially benefit.
When the citizens "free housing" consist of dilapidated, bug infested houses in high crime areas with failing schools, and the "free food" affords you macaroni and cheese and hot dogs, I would say there is a great disparity between the general populations standard of living and the Galesi's(and other millionaire that receives hundreds of thousand in tax subsidies and breaks) standard of living.
I heard from someone who is friends with an entomologist, that bedbugs were making a comeback, and this was at least a decade ago. The were showing up in the best hotels! They thought it was due to increased travel from more exotic locations. The fact that the insects were showing up in places where no one lives, such as GAP in NYC, would seem to indicate that this is also a by-product of having everything manufactured overseas and shipped back here. The packaging is supposedly treated with pesticide, but it can't be too strong or it would get absorbed by the clothing, wouldn't it? Besides, I've also been told these bugs are resistant to common pesticides. Yuk.
