A few great resources for tracking the bed bug epidemic and their spread:

ReportBedBugs.com

Website: www.reportbedbugs.com

A very comprehensive resource that has compiled reports and statistical data from numerous sources – travel report / complaint websites, bed bug registry sites, private data sets and service histories from pest control companies,  publicly available data sets and more. The website also has great tools for tenants to communicate, organize and lobby landlords in an effort to deal with bed bug infestations in multi-unit housing.

 

Trip Advisor

Website: www.tripadvisor.com

A great resource for travellers. Check hotels for bug and other complaints before you book your trip.

 

BedBugger.com

Website: www.BedBugger.com

Bedbugger.com is one of the best resources on the web for bed bug news and information. Bedbugger uses ClustrMaps to track visitors to its website, and, although these are not reports of actual infestations, they give a clear visualized picture of how many people around the world – and seemingly, in every corner of the world – bed bugs are at least a topic of concern – possibly indicative of communities it has reached and infested. http://www2.clustrmaps.com/counter/maps.php?url=http://bedbugger.com
