A Hotel & Bedbugs tale:
Lou Sorkin, an entomologist at New York’s American Museum of Natural History who has been studying bedbug behavior for 15 years, said the nationwide bedbug problem is as bad as he’s ever seen it, not only because of the decline in DDT use but because of increased international travel.
And since many travelers end up in hotels, these critters are giving guests the jitters. Guests are grilling the staff on their bedbug extermination policies, keeping their suitcases away from the upholstery, and pulling off the sheets to inspect the mattresses.
Should we send any bill to the estate of Rachel Carlson?
