Bed Bugs
Hitchhikers that ride in on luggage and bags and hide in seams, headboards and chairs.
Where they thrive
Mattress seams, headboards, couches, office chairs, theater seats, luggage and laundry carts.
How they behave
Night feeders. Five young stages, each needing a blood meal. Resistant to most store-bought sprays.
In New York City
A 2010 outbreak closed SoHo stores and theaters. Landlords must now disclose bed bug history.
Did you know?
Adults can go several months without a meal, so empty rooms are not safe.
