Bed Bugs Ravage the East Coast

Here is another gift from our libertine liberals; bed bugs. It seems that by opening the borders to illegals from third world countries and by banning beneficial insecticides like DDT in order to satisfy illogical nature worship fantasies, liberals in New York are beginning to reap what they sow. Bed bugs are everywhere and spreading fast.

Unfortunately they've been spreading up the coast to Boston and other large cities. If only the bugs would focus their infestation on the liberals who gave them sanctuary, I might be satisfied. Unfortunately this evil doesn't pay attention to political boundaries. I think if the leftists were more direct and declared New York a sanctuary city for bed bugs, rather than their third world carriers, it might make the immigration argument a little more obvious. Unfortunately it seems to take the total destruction of our civilization, until the mentally disturbed leftists become aware that their belief systems actually negatively effects everyone around them.

The spread of disease via open border policies, by the way, plays quite nicely with the global elites plan for us. I just wish the libertines among us would try to wake up their consciences, and learn some common sense before it's too late.

No.
It's Bush's fault.
Everyone knows that.
Pfft...

Cities are filthy.

Rats, bugs, vermin and vagrants flock to them for the same reason. Easily gotten garbage.

Watch your library books folks. They spread them like crazy. Library books are the next least sanitary thing. Right behind dollar bills.

People fall asleep reading and the buggers climb on in. Then you take them home and fall asleep reading.

Like beg bug pollinating bees.

Rats, I love libraries. Time to stick to the electronic media then. Living in a bubble is starting to look attractive. Maybe we should ban all commerce from New York. That might get someone's attention.

Wow you've found a way to blame naturally occuring insects upon Rush Limbaughs pet laundry list of stuff to hate. Very creative!

Thanks, but in fact I do blame the liberals for this. It's one of the issues that gets me fired up. We've got a host of diseases here that were unheard of, or were once eradicated but are now making a big comeback thanks to open border policies.

When we were a sane and rational people, and made decisions for the benefit of the people and not for the benefit of a few morally bankrupt elitists, every immigrant required mandatory health screening. It's only common sense. However in the liberal viewpoint, we need to experience third world diseases in order to mimic what are now deemed superior cultures to western civilization. In other words how could we deny those poor bedbugs a safe refuge from the horrors of their third world homelands?

Wow they had illegals in Ancient Greece!

Bedbugs

Bedbugs were mentioned in ancient Greece as early as 400 BC (later mentioned by Aristotle). Pliny's Natural History, first published c. 77 AD in Rome...

Bedbugs were first mentioned in Germany in the 11th century, in France in the 13th century, and in England in 1583,[11] though they remained rare in England until 1670. It was believed by some in the 18th century that bedbugs had been brought to London with supplies of wood to rebuild the city after the Great Fire of London (1666).

Hotels are hot spots for bed bugs. When traveling only open your suitcase to get something out of it then close it up always put your suitcase on a stand and never leave it open. I brought a bed bug back from a hotel but luckly i got him in time before he infested my house.

They are extreamly hard to to get rid of

Assuming you have Christian values I would like to point out that the immigrants you speak of are people also.

Xenophobia and isolationism are just not possible these days. The world has grown too small. And the logistics of screening all travellers for every known contagion is logistically impossible.

Besides, a can of Lysol or Raid would probably solve just about anyones bed bug woes.

You miss the point of my connecting this to liberals. It's not that one doesn't wish to care for the poor and suffering. But one also wishes to protect the interests of the people of the great nation we live in.

It is in fact impossible to care for all the poor in the world. There is currently not enough to go around and we will always have the poor with us. The reason is due to values. In general lousy values creates poverty, in a statistical sense. (Not necessarily in certain individual cases.)


Flooding the US with immigrants with values hostile to those that made this country great is a very bad idea. Disease is just one of the downsides. Immigration is good, provided proper health screening and proper assimilation is maintained. Open borders, on the other hand, is clearly a mistake.

I dont think open border policies have any thing to do with the bed bugs.
Its all just logistics, say some one from the EU say Germany was taking a trip to Disney world and had a lay over in say oh ah Spain that person sleeps in a bed thought to be cleaned well its not the next day the traveler is on his way to sunny Fl. He gets a nice 5 star with a fantastic view stays a few and back home he gos. Now the nice 5 star has bed bugs.

If the rolls were reversed and it was an american traveling abroud and brought them back to his home. Which in my former job did happen to the same customer twice flew, to brussles and came back with a few friends(bed bugs)
with his bags in storage compartment with others who knows how many other bags got infected.

when it comes to bed bugs all they see is food not color or where you are from
when it comes to me and bed bugs all I see is $$$$

No, we didn't miss the point of your connecting it to liberals; the fact is, what you're talking about are NOT connections. That's the point. The elements are not there. Vacationing is the biggest cause of the current bed bug epidemic. Immigrants have nothing to do with it, and bed bugs don't really live in the places where DDT would effect them.

I spent most of my early life growing up on the Mexican border in South Texas and several months of my adult life traveling through Mexico. There were many locals who put me up when I couldn't find a place to stay. Some were VERY poor but gladly shared with me whatever they had and never asked for anything in return. I never EVER saw one bed bug..EVER. I saw lots of other giant size creep crawleys though..but never a bed bug.

How is it that only the "immigrants" carry bed bugs? I think your logic is flawed if not outright sad. Your just looking for one more excuse to make it an "us" against "them" (liberals). You should be ashamed of yourself.

I guess you were wishing they would kill off all the bald eagles and other raptors since it was DDT that was killing them by making the egg walls too thin.
I thought a Conservative such as yourself would actually prize our national symbol.
To each his own, I suppose.

This... is what us liberals use. Nothing better... or safer.

In case anyone is interested in how to get rid of bed bugs without toxic chemicals here is a link. www.bedbugsguide.com... Diatomaceous Earth is cheap and non toxic. It is excellent at eliminating parasites.

I work at a motel in slc and have had quite a few run ins with these pest.
The new chemical we use is called Phantom because they can't smell it. The problem is this will be the fifth new chemical we have switched to because the grow a resistance fairly quickly and the can smell the chemical so they run from it. It is said they can go for 9 months without feeding so i makes it really hard to get rid of them because the can lay dormant for so long and when you think they are gone bam they come back to feed again.
The phantom seems to work better than other chemicals. One thing i can't understand is how using DDT in a motel room will cause bird eggs to thin.
Can someone explain why we can't use it inside buildings strictly for pest control.
