Subject: Bedbugs Back: @ 137 12th St, Apt 1D

Ray,

While walking about last night, talking to a few of the residents about 
mold issues, I discovered that the residents of apartment 1D - an 
upstairs apartment with several small children living in it - are still 
suffering bedbug bites.

Furthermore, it is my understanding that the owners of 137 12th Street 
have somehow managed to destroy their relations with all three or four 
of the exterminators that service the Humboldt Bay area.

(Some of the problem probably resulted from giving the business to the 
lowest bidder - who came all the way from Redding, but wasn't able to 
return for follow-up treatments without another large infusion of cash 
to cover expenses. Some of the problem probably resulted from concealing 
the infestation from the very exterminators who were onsite to address 
other forms of infestation - putting the exterminators, themselves, at 
risk of infestation. Not good.)

I'm still mulling over the implications.

The biggest implication right now, is that two or three small children 
are going into HeadStart, every morning, coming from a property that is 
actively infested with bedbugs, and there is a nontrivial possibility of 
the infestation being passed on to other children and adults.
