 Bed Bug Busters: About Us
 Janet Friedman (owner) created Bed Bug Busters NY in 2008 to address a need for a new service: preparing homes for bed bug treatment. As a veteran Broadway stage manager turned personal organizer, Janet saw an opportunity to help people with this extraordinary challenge. It became clear that the most important qualities needed in our staff would be compassion, sensitivity, and trustworthiness. Of course we would provide meticulous attention to detail in following the protocols recommended by the city’s top pest management professionals. Where would a stage manager look for such people? Janet turned to the Actors Work Program – the career counseling arm of the Actors’ Fund of America. Soon she had a group of “between jobs” actors and stage managers who have proved over and over again that the human touch is what is required in going through people’s personal belongings. Bed Bug Busters NY has since become NYC’s top prep company, achieving a high level of respect in NYC’s pest management world as well as with our nearly 300 satisfied clients.
 Meagan Gilliland (partner/project coordinator) grew up in Wisconsin in an active arts-oriented family. After earning her BFA in Acting from the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point in 2008, she moved to Chicago and soon after to New York City. A stage manager friend linked Meagan with Janet and Bed Bug Busters NY and she immediately began working for the company upon her arrival in September 2009. Meagan is a master at organizing clients’ homes and explaining every detail of the work in a user-friendly way.
 Marci Skolnick (partner/project coordinator)
hails from the San Francisco Bay Area. She made her way to New York 10
years ago to study theatre at Hofstra University. Marci met Janet when
she was guest-lecturing at Hofstra. Marci came aboard Bed Bug Busters NY
at the very beginning, soon becoming a partner in the business. She
embodies all the qualities that make a good stage manager, and, by
extension, a great bed bug buster.
 Alexander Taylor Mace (supervisor) At 23, Alex is an aspiring actor, singer and playwright living in Brooklyn. Born in Wisconsin, he graduated from The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point in the spring of 2010 and immediately came to NYC. He was introduced to Bed Bug Busters NY by Meagan and quickly became a trusted member of the team.
