Bed bugs may be semi-forgotten by the mainstream media, but the urban bloodsucking epidemic is at least as far from over as the Second Avenue subway project. Sign up to attend BrickUnderground's free BedbuggedNYC Meetup this Thursday night to learn how to keep bed bugs out of your apartment, what to do if they're already there, and how to enforce your legal right to a bedbug-free environment.

In addition to writing out checks for tuition and extracurricular activities this summer, some Manhattan private school parents apparently found themselves shelling out for a licensed pest control operator to satisfy a new school requirement that all students' homes get visually inspected for bed bugs before the first day of classes.
A study published recently by the American Journal of Public Health finds that landlords save money when they prohibit smoking everywhere in the building, even inside private apartments.
The California landlords surveyed in the study saved an average of $5,000 a year per smoke-free building. (With the cost of everything higher here, we can only imagine that the savings is far greater in NYC.)
BrickUnderground's second Meetup, BedbuggedNYC, is closer than your headboard: Sign up now to save a seat at the free panel on Thurs., Sept. 15th, featuring NY's #1 bed bug warrior Gil Bloom, BrickUnderground's Bedbugged! columnist and bed bug survivor Theresa Braine, and real estate lawyer Steven Wagner.
