The sole objective of New York vs Bed Bugs was to help bring about a comprehensive bed bug control plan in New York City.
This project was started by a very small group of New Yorkers who knew first-hand what bed bug infestations can do to our families, our health and our productivity.
We wanted to protect our neighbors and fellow New Yorkers.
And we wanted our city to lead.
Our efforts ended in March 2010.
