realize the bed bugs are coming on the Europeans?

if the Director of Mosquito Control will use this to demand another raise.

...seems to me that one thorough treatment doesn't really work for hotels and guest houses as the main culprit is unsuspecting tourists who keep reinfecting the locations. Also what legal absorption residual type poison is so effective (bedbugs feed on fresh blood) if people are demanding better chemicals and resorting to unlicensed/ unapproved methods in desperation? So it seems in actuality that gas fumigating the location regularly has to be done as a war of attrition/preventative measure, keep their numbers down so they are not noticeable. It's a new cost of business and I guess hotel owners will just have to learn everything they can about bedbugs to make their units inhospitable as possible to them. We ourselves have to decontaminate with RID shampoo and gas bomb the house after coming home from vacation at the best hotels for lice, fleas and crabs, so even they can't seem to control their bug problems. The difference of course is that lice, fleas and crabs are small and unseen, people might not know they got them until a few days, weeks or even months later, less able to finger the hotel responsible and complain. Bedbugs on the other hand are larger so they can be seen at night when they come out if the lights suddenly go on, and bite like mosquitoes so people know right away the hotel is responsible. Perhaps the State should get involved and force all hotels and guest houses into regular gas fumigation compliance and conduct inspections, it will do a number on the fleas, ticks and lice too. It only takes a couple of hours per unit, hit it when the unit is left early in the morning before the cleaning crews arrive. Heck even the tourists could be asked if their last day is going to be a early riser or not for scheduling a gas fumigation. Did the Blue Lagoon get sued out of business because of bedbugs?

It is brave of the Citizen to publish this front page banner headline, with its accompanying in-depth story. I'm sure the Chamber of Commerce is having a hissy-fit. But now maybe the major hotels in town will "man up" to what they have to do, i.e., follow the lead of the owner who gutted his hotel and refit to solve the problem. Simply calling Orkin for a quick spritz of bug spray won't cut it. Stop the denial and adopt the remedy-- before Dengue, bums and bugs halt tourism in Key West altogether.
