Northern New Jersey Retailers Preparing for Bed Bug Onslaught
Bed bugs shut down the Lenox Hill Victoria’s Secret store in Manhattan this week, sending ripples of concern through the northern New Jersey retail community. Coming on the heels of bed bug infestations that closed two popular NYC Abercrombie and Fitch Hollister stores in SoHo and South Street Seaport over the busy 4th of July weekend, this most recent store closing is indicative of the growing prevalence of bed bugs in everyday American life.
Until this year, reports of bed bug infestations have centered largely on multi-family apartments and condominiums, hotels and motels, public housing and college dorms — all settings that cater to dense, highly transient populations that could be expected to increase the risk of bed bug infestation. This year, however, bed bug complaints have been increasing across the country and particularly in northern New Jersey in schools, private residences, movie theaters, hospitals, nursing homes — and retail establishments.
