Agree. Also scary to think of this person rides the subway as well and who knows where this person is coming from.
Broadway line (Q, R, N, W) is infested with homeless both on platforms and trains. Worse many are wearing, carrying around all their rubbish in bags, carts, or whatever. That is a huge problem right there, am surprised we aren't seeing rise in lice along with bed bugs.

This morning the F was a rolling homeless shelter. Three, four cars in a row with people taking up whole benches sleeping and the corner of the cars filled with trash. Disgusting.
Bugsy,
Do you think perhaps an organization called the Pesticide Action Program might have an axe to grind here?
Is it likely or possible that even IF some immunity to DDT was gained it might have been lost over the several decades ban of the insecticide.
Roaches, lice, bed bugs, mosquitos and other insects have shown large mutations away from being affected by DDT, and other insecticides with similar killing action. Nothing to date says things are going other way.
Largely because while DDT is banned in USA and many other places other chemicals with similar actions are still on shelves.
In that first instance, nobody secured the bug. When the manager arrived, the bug was nowhere to be found. A bedbug-sniffing dog was brought in and reacted positively to that chair, so a fumigation treatment was ordered, according to the MTA.
I have visions of a dozen cops rushing around, "Law & Order" style, guns drawn, yelling, "Has the bug been secured?"
you NEVER (EVER) used to hear about this freakin' bedbug nightmare. you can thank
'these new fangled immigrants' for THAT (and the dept of immigration & naturalization).
Like the chinese for instance.
over the years ON THE NEWS, besides the bedbugs, there would be news stories about unusual
bugs all over trees and foliage
....they were like - "they're NOT from this part of the country...geepers, it's unusual..."
"We don't understand where they're coming from...."
oh really? (I "live in another world") reporter....
all these CHINESE Shipping, package and logistics stores RECEIVE boxes, cartons and packages FROM CHINA with the bugs already in the boxes.....
THEN, they hop out and make themselves at home here on american soil..........
