BedBugs Dont Bite In The Bronx!
Bedbugs in the Bronx? Bug-gedaboudit!
Next week, the city begins a series of seminars at venues all over town on avoiding bedbugs - except in the Bronx.
The reason isn’t that city officials don’t want to come to the Bronx - but rather that, apparently, the bedbugs don’t.
While some residents of Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens are in a near panic over the worsening citywide infestation, people in the Bronx don’t seem to be bugged by the critters - yet.
“The Bronx had the second-lowest number of complaints last year,” said Seth Donlin of the city Department of Housing Preservation and Development, which keeps track of such calls to the city’s 311 hotline.
“It’s the lowest total after Staten Island, which is statistically insignificant,” Donlin said.
Bronx residents called to complain about bedbugs just 1,117 times last year, and HPD documented only 347 actual infestations.
