Landlord education (somewhere else): “be a resource for your tenants”

The Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department and University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension are teaming up to offer a bed bug workshop for landlords and property managers in May.

From the program brochure (PDF):

A bed bug infestation localized in one or two units is easier to control than when it spreads to the entire whole apartment building.

From this great distance, things seem so effortless in other places. Which seems ungrateful, I know, given that the New York City Department of Health is now firmly on our side. Exhibits A, B and C.

Maybe not ungrateful, just impatient.

Remember our letter writing campaign for a bed bug task force?

Are we going to need a new one just to ask that the bed bug advisory board be appointed?

This, by the way, is the NYC bed bug advisory board law, Local Law 14 (PDF).
