Coming to the next bed bug seminar in Brooklyn?

in Events

The next Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) bed bug seminar will be held in Greenpoint.

Tuesday May 6, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.

The Greenpoint Reformed Church
136 Milton Street
Broooklyn, NY 11222
RSVP (HPD): (212) 863-8830

New York vs. Bed Bugs founding members are coming to Greenpoint for good bed bug learnin’, to meet good people like you, and to say thanks to Pastor Ann Kansfield and Miss Heather.

If your community wants to host an HPD bed bug seminar, you should call 311 to start the process rolling. Spread bed bug knowledge in your neighborhood and perhaps you and your family and friends will be spared any closer acquaintance with Sneaky Simes.

Can’t resist — Nobugs gave us plenty to go on!

A first instar is 1 mm long.

Have a trusty ruler? I remember drawing a 1 mm line dot on a small post-it and carrying it around for a few days.

AMNH – Sorkin & Mercurio

The thickness of a credit card. Roughly 1/32 of an inch.

That is what we’re talking about…

In the black corner, Cimex L.

Mahogany Flats,

the Red Bomber,

Sneaky Simes,

Bed bug!

In the white corner,

The City of New York!

Gotham,

New Amsterdam,

the Big Apple.

All right, we don’t usually have multiple parties in each corner of the ring, so this is gonna get a bit messy.

But let’s come out fighting, gloves (and dust masks) on!

Is everyone ready to RUMBLE?!?!?!?
