This is how serious the Bedbug Wars have become: Under new rules that take effect immediately, landlords must inspect and treat apartments next to, above and below any apartment that has bedbugs, or face fines. Building owners must also notify all tenants when bedbugs have been discovered in a building, and issue a plan for getting rid of them. If they fail to take care of their properties in such a way, they will be required to get a licensed exterminator to fill out a sworn affidavit that the bedbugs have been battled. Death to the bloodsuckers! [NYP]
