Bloomingdale\u2019s also confirmed this week information about their own bed bug encounter\u2026slightly.\u00a0 In a statement released to the media they reported that they found \u201cone bed bug\u201d.\u00a0 They further reported the following information, \u201cWe identified it and removed it promptly. We conducted a thorough search of the area, including the use of dogs trained to spot bed bug locations. We are confident that we have thoroughly addressed the problem.”\u00a0 The problem here is that when you have one bed bug, you likely have more bed bugs<\/a>.\u00a0 Bloomingdale\u2019s NYC flagship store is absolutely gigantic!\u00a0 Like with Macy\u2019s, bed bugs would have their pick of\u00a0 thousands of choice spots to hide and multiply if they are there.\u00a0 Additionally, retail establishments cannot assume that if they find one bed bug, that that bed bug<\/a> happened to drop off of a person who was shopping in their store.\u00a0 The simple fact is that there is no way of knowing where the \u201cone bed bug\u201d came from.\u00a0 If one, a few, or hundreds of bed bugs are found in a retail establishment, the entire building should be treated by pest control<\/a>\u2026and then treated again!<\/p>\n

I read an article today about a scary new tactic that could be used between retailers.\u00a0 The article told of how retailers could easily sabotage each others businesses by anonymously claiming that a competitor has bed bugs<\/a> in\u00a0their store.\u00a0 Similar situations have happened before, just not with bed bugs\u2026yet.\u00a0 Since shoppers are on high alert with the recent bed bug outbreaks, this type of retail sabotage could cause an all out panic among consumers and would certainly drive customers away, no matter if the news was true or false.\u00a0 Let\u2019s hope that doesn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
