      <![CDATA[Great article! I do think, however, that the infographic is misleading, since the overall call volume for 311 calls may have increased in 2010 to 2011 along with increased bed-bug calls, so it's hard to say the increase is because of more bed bugs.

      <![CDATA[It has been said that getting rid of bed bugs is a job that is only for the professionals. I have honestly found that this is not the case, and have heard some great success stories from people who used pro-strength products that can be found online at places like this site - http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/bed-bugs-c-39.html.
