New York City -


Don't let the bedbugs swipe!

At a recent Department of Housing, Preservation and Development forum on the subject, a city bedbug educator admitted to seeing the pests on benches in subway stations - in one case, catching a ride on an unsuspecting straphanger's caboose at Brooklyn's Hoyt-Schermerhorn station, according to people at the meeting.

Does anyone know how to get rid of bedbugs?

I know they could hide anywhere, furniture or even in a telephone.

How do you prevent them from invading your house?
