WOW. I knew bed bugs aka chinches for my spanish speakers, was a problem in NYC, but this shows how great of a problem it is. Now the city will have to fumagate all of 5th avenue?lol. I guess business will be slow for a while.

Unlike roaches, bed bugs don't come from being nasty. NYC however should have attempted to stop them in a more proactive manner years ago. I've been hearing about these things for years and now they've spread all over the country.

Bed bugs start small, but you can see them with the naked eye. Once you've encountered them, you'll freak out over piece of lint that finds its way onto your bed. Be on the lookout for dark stains and the corners of your beds.

I don't think there was a way for Niketown to prevent this. If someone brought them in, sat on some furniture, its all over. You just have to pray that you've gotten to all the places they've gotten to.

yup completely agree with what you said.  its not from being nasty, its from someone nasty coming into the store and they jump on to the furniture and clothes etc.

its been said they have been spreading across the US mainly through transport vehicles loading and unloading stuff when they hitch a ride onto cargo....so its becoming not just a household problem now, its at theaters etc.  so next time you go watch a movie, think about whats crawling on you or into your pockets or bags

so with $15 plus for a movie ticket and chances of bed bugs...ill pass again on going to the movies
