In the 2011 fiscal year, complaints to 311 peaked at 13,140. By mid-2013, the number of 311 complaints dropped to 9,233, according to this article, with pest control experts attributing the fall to better education about how to spot bed bugs and what to do if you've got them., one of the country's largest online retailers of anti-bed-bug gear."There’s not as much panic from New Yorkers as there was in 2010 and 2011," Greenberg confirms. "The panic aspect has migrated west as New York has made it through the worst part, which was the lack of education and awareness about bed bugs. We spend less time talking consumers off the ledge when often times they are not even sure they have bed bugs. Most, but not all, have become more educated about bed bugs and what their telltale signs are."
Product-wise, says Greenberg, "It has become less popular to purchase sprays to try and keep bed bugs away as they are not very effective unless applied in a targeted manner by a professional. The business from New York now tends to be more from people that are sure they have a problem and from building managers needing products for ongoing control."So what are New York City residents ordering most when the bed bugs start biting these days?, which pays BrickUnderground a portion of sales generated here, at no additional cost to you.

Bed bugs are small parasites which can often go unseen by the human eye.
Normally it takes large infestations of many bed bugs before a person notices there is a problem and can take action for bed bug prevention. Bed bugs are hitchhikers, so they can be transferred from infested areas to non-infested areas rather easily. So even if you don't have an infestation now, acquiring bed bugs is not unlikely. Bed bugs are highly resistant to pesticides or any chemicals found in the U.S., making their elimination difficult. Bed bugs are also prolific breeders, as females can lay eggs five times a day for her entire life. Bed bugs can also live up to a year without a meal. With such an overwhelming resistance to control and removal, it is crucial to understand how to detect bed bugs and the best forms of bed bugs protection. Early bed bug protection is critical to the prevention and management of these parasites. There are many ways to detect the presence of bed bugs within your home. Many times, the first sign of bed bugs are small bites on the body, which look similar to raised red bumps like those that appear from mosquito bites.
There may be many bites in one area, such as in a grouping or in a line. The bites will be itchy and are easily misdiagnosed as mosquito bites, chicken pox or a rash. If you notice bites similar to these, further inspection for bed bugs is needed. First, begin looking around your mattress, bedding and box spring. With large infestations of bed bugs, there are often little brown or near-black dots on the mattress seams, on bedding or on the box spring. There may even be red splotches from a bed bug that has just fed on blood that was shortly thereafter crushed. With the presence of many bed bugs, they become more visible to the human eye. So spotting an actual bed bug is likely, and it will looks like a small, brown, flat, wingless parasite - similar to a tick or small cockroach. If bed bugs are detected, there are some measures you can take to protect yourself and your mattress. One of the only ways to get rid of bed bugs that are already present is to have a professional pest control specialist steam, clean and vacuum the mattress and floor in the affected room.
Structural fumigations may be necessary for severe cases of bed bug infestation, which requires the fogging or bombing of a room with chemicals. However, one of the most effective and proven methods as an aide in bed bugs protection is economical and simple: bedding encasements. Bedding mattress and box spring cover encasements are essential to bed bugs protection and management. Mattress and box spring covers are especially useful in the prevention of bed bugs before an infestation even occurs. When you encase your mattress and box spring, you cut off the food source to the bed bugs in the mattress and box spring, which will eventually lead to their death. This does not eliminate the infestation, as bed bugs will breed anywhere in the house. However, it does make it much easier to spot bed bugs on the mattress when the look for a blood meal, which in turn makes eradication more painless. Also, mattress and box spring encasements help prevent the spread of bed bugs to other areas of the home.
