UN’s battle of bedbugs

Diplomats aren’t the only bloodsuckers at the United Nations.

Like the Metropolitan Opera House, Empire State Building, Carnegie Hall and other landmarks, the UN is now playing host to bedbugs.

The creatures were first found there in May 2009, and, while fumigation solved the problem, the insects returned this month, an official confirmed yesterday.

Meanwhile, city Housing Authority cleaner Miriam Ortiz, 36, was charged with arson for allegedly setting fire to a bedbug-infested mattress in a 10th-floor hallway of the Manhattanville Houses.
