This Gossip Smells Good! At least the Dogs Will Think So

Bed bug dogs made THE gossip colimn! Okay so maybe they're not technically on the actual Page Six, but bed bug detecting dogs were featured in today's New York Post. The short piece detailed the HPD's decision to fumigate nearly 5,000 boxes of files in November of 2011 after bed bugs were found in "isolated areas."

Interestingly enough, this extermination took place only two days after the HPD brought on two new members' two its' staff whose bark was probably worse than their bite. That's right, Mickey and Nemo, two adorable bed bug detecting dogs that were trained for six months at a NESDCA-approved training facility in the Midwest. Timing, I'll tell ya!


So what do we at M&M Pest Control/M&M Environmental think about this? For a city that has made international headlines for their bed bug problem to now have a housing department that was apparently affected by these pests as well? I mean what is this: fact imitating fiction? Reality imitating fantasy? Life imitating art? There's got to be some cliche way to describe it. Feel free to bark in our comments section with your thoughts. We think it's pretty terrible, regardless. Either way, we're happy to know that HPD (who did reach out to us for consulting purposes back when they began their journey towards bed bug dog acquisition) has proactively brought on these certified bed bug detecting dogs for scenarios of this sort.
