TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY SEBASTIAN SMITH Freedom, a beagle trained by Jeremy Ecker of The Bedbug Inspectors, demonstrates how he sniffs out bedbugs, on July 26, 2010 in the Queens borough of New York. Ecker and partner Oscar Rincon keep the live bedbugs in glass viles to train their dogs, that sniff out bedbugs in private homes, apartments and businesses. The tiny blood suckers specialize in feeding off sleeping bodies and this summer in the Big Apple they’re enjoying the pickings of their lives, specialists say. After infesting unprecedented numbers of apartments and offices, the pests have branched out, raiding clothing stores and, notoriously, a Victoria’s Secret lingerie outlet on Manhattan’s posh Upper East Side.
