Insect Music Friday: Buddy Holly and the Crickets!
It took us a few weeks, but we got to one of our favorite Rock-n-Roll pioneers, Bully Holly & the Crickets, (and a direct inspiration for the Beatles.) Enjoy and have a great weekend!
Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, and Bed Bugs? Yes!
We’ve been writing a lot about bed bug humor (and even included a clever routine from a stand up comic in our first blog on this topic), but now we’re turning our attention to a different kind of bed bug comic: comic books! We were big comic book fans when we were young and enjoy all
Insect Music Friday: The Cars’ “You Might Think”
The Fourth of July holiday week isn’t going to stop us from posting our Insect Music Friday blog. Today: The Cars, the best American New Wave band. (We’ll see if we get any dissenting comments from Blondie and Talking Head-lovers.) For our Insect Music Friday, we bring you the first video from Heartbeat City. If
(Pest Control) Life Imitates Bill Murray’s Art
We came across a new pest control product and were instantly reminded of the ending of the comedy classic Caddyshack, in which Bill Murray, as Carl the golf course groundskeeper, uses explosives to try to eliminate the gopher that bedeviled him the whole movie.

Insect Music Friday: The Ramones “Spider-Man”
In honor of this week’s blockbuster movie The Amazing Spider-Man, our Insect Music Series is expanding to include some “Arachnid Music” - Specifically, the Ramones’ cover of the Spider-Man cartoon theme song.

Please, No Monkey Business!
The New York Times recently wrote about how Indian city New Delhi is overrun with monkeys. We’re glad this is a problem we don’t have to solve here in the New York region. We don’t get calls about mice, rats, roaches, pigeons, and bed bugs “entering homes, ripping out wiring, stealing clothes and biting those
Insect Music Friday returns with Papa Roach
Thanks for all your requests for our Insect Music series, published on Fridays on this blog. We’re glad to be back this week with the PG-version of Papa Roach’s “Last Resort.” (Yes, PG is read as “sensored,” but are curses really hidden when the words are silenced or bleeped, and you can still easily fill
What Are Over-the-Counter Bed Bug “Bombs” Worth? NOTHING!
This is the best summary that we’ve seen of the recent study that over the counter foggers don’t work to eliminate bed bugs. Thanks to the Atlantic Magazine for boiling it down. In sum, foggers don’t reach the places bed bugs hide. And if the fog does reach the insects, the chemicals most likely don’t kill
