Bed bugs are a booming business. We all know that. The little local stimulus plan that no one wants to tout. (Before this is over we’ll have to talk about what we can do when we don’t have five, let alone two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The answer can’t be that it sucks to be us, can it?)
So business, booming.
And yet, here’s the thing, I will never forget that Tim Wong of M&M Environmental supported all legislation considered by the City Council in February. It was a small thing, but meant everything to me.
So here is M&M Environmental, in an interesting marketing strategy for a pest control company—in itself a potent sign of the times we are living—taping interviews about the bed bug issues with New Yorkers on the frontlines.
M&M wants to promote their business by being a part of the public conversation about bed bugs? What we’ve always wanted is for everyone to engage.
Also they, unlike me apparently, can get an interview with a lawyer. So there you go. (Am I bitter? Never. ;) )
Here’s the interview with Council Member Gale Brewer:
There are interviews with a co-op board president and with bed bug lawyer Timothy Wenk, in two flavors, for tenants and landlords.
