Plague! Bed Bugs: Myths and Realities
 

Tuesday, January 18, 2011 at 6:30 p.m.

Bed bugs, it seems, are all over New York City. In your mattress, your couch, that futon on the pile at the end of your block. What's worse, they may have overrun your newspapers and even your TV screen. What's hype and what's reality? How big a problem are bed bugs, really? What is the city doing to stop them, and what can you do before they take over your apartment? Entomologist Louis Sorkin of the New York Entomological Society and Renee Corea, former director of New York vs Bed Bugs, are joined by a panel of exterminators, journalists, and city officials to discuss how the recent plague of bed bugs is affecting city life and culture. Co-sponsored by the New York Entomological Society.
