ug Fact' sheet be placed in every building in the city. (how to depose of items, how to identify bed bugs etc. )

One of the fastest ways that bed bugs are spread is because people dispose of furniture with out destroying it.....ie slashing cushions,writing "Bed Bugs" in marker directly on items, etc thus making them unattractive.

I noticed this very 'Nice Furniture' sat out the back of the building for over a week......and was constantly picked over and most of it disappeared before TCHC had it removed....likely taken back into other apartments in our building or taken by people to other buildings.
Thus spreading the infestation further. Because people came along and probably said to themselves " That's a perfectly good coffee table and it's the right price..... Free"

I have also noticed that furniture is regularly placed inside the recycling room behind the elevator....there should be signs telling people not to do this.

This is a ongoing problem in our building and has been going on for years.....I believe it is very widespread in TCHC as with many other buildings in the city....including .....shush..Condos.
But it is more likely that people on low incomes will bring items that other people throw away into their homes.

That is why I think it should be MANDATORY to have Bed Bug Fact Sheets posted in ALL buildings in the city.

would say they were spraying an apt. I kept asking till one of the contractor's final answered They were spraying for BEDBUGS AND COCKROACHES. I stopped someone on the street that I know lives on floor 5 and was informed that 4 thats right FOUR apts on the 4th floor have been emptied of furniture as the infestation is that BAD and now they are treating/spraying on the 5th floor also now. WOW so over 5 aparments with a sever enough infestation they have to discard all couches chairs beds etc. (84unit building)thats over 5% of the building and TCHC has NOT NOTIFIED ALL TENANTS to chk.
