The NH Bedbugs project

Nobugs has a nice post taking note of the remarkable news from New Hampshire of a new organization that will begin its work by taking on the eradication of bed bugs from a Manchester building as a community project.

My comment got lost in the spam filter but it was about this New Hampshire Public Radio story a year ago about bed bugs in a Manchester building, not identified in the story but managed by the same management company as the Langdon Mill Apartments, the building in the present community eradication effort. They spent $15,000 then on a protocol of emptying the contents of the apartments and fumigating them (perhaps it was not true fumigation but conventional treatment). The infestations persisted.

I hope the cycle of loss and bed bugs for these families, and for this building, will now end.

Congratulations to the organizations and volunteers of NH Bedbugs for an awesome undertaking.
