The bed bug problem appears to have even affected the city's tallest building.

The insects were found last week in a uniform storage area in the basement of the Empire State Building.

Officials say exterminators treated the area.

This is the latest in a long line of incidents involving bed bugs.

The bloodsucking insects have been spreading across the city at an unprecedented rate, showing up in theatres, government offices, and luxury high-rises.
