Juicy Bedbugs - snicker here

[gojira]

what gets me is the thing that killed these critters is outlawed....I say repeal the ban on DDT!

I had to clear out a very long gravel driveway overgrown with small trees, blackberries and all kinds of plants one time, and in a visit to a landscaping tool shop they recommended I buy this non-descript, industrial strength chemical to spray all over the driveway. It turned out to be a mix of super-strength weed killer and a main component of Agent Orange. It just wasn't labeled as Agent Orange of course. The stuff worked awesome.

So I wouldn't be surprised if DDT or a derivative are available under a different name.

the city is overrun with rats.  no matter what they do, the bedbugs will just travel on the rats from building to building, right thru the sewers.

the image of a new yorker is now going to be someone scratching their ass vigorously.

Mentioning rats reminded me of a visit to NYC when my cab pulled up to the curb, and the bellman opens the door. Right at that moment a HUGE, hard-to-miss rat ran along the curb in front of my open door. Without the skipping a beat the bellman says "Welcome to the Royalton!"

a component of the product doesn't mean it's the same

Other products can contain methyl chloroform or vinyl trichloride and not have the properties of DDT.

Not always but sometimes bedbugregistry.com will have information on recent reports.

One of the daughter's ex-BF's is making a fortune with 2 dogs trained to detect their presence

Yeah - I heard about a service like that. $500 to check a house or something like that. Though the piece pointed out that the hours sucked a bit. The dog handlers were working in the dead of night checking out commercial spaces so there would be a diminished chance of people spotting them at work. Smuggling to dog in, in a duffel bag, visiting peoples homes in normal clothes, walking in after parking blocks away so as to appear like any Joe walking his dog.
