I asked the landlord if we had a bed bug problem and he said no. They are just taking a premtive step because of their bed bug insurance.
I called 311 NYC hotline for the govermenet also the bed bug hotline. Asked about the Rubbing Alcohol and they said it actually does kill the bed bugs. it just has to be 91% or higher. Which is what the landlord gave us.
Interesting to see UA had a bed bug problem
