This is needed, because the bedbugregistry seems abandoned and has submission errors where you can't add new entries to some addresses.

One problem is legal backlash, I would have hosted this overseas like the bedbugregistry did to prevent takedown notices and lawsuits.

This is helpful when dealing with lying landlords who claim there was never a problem until you moved in, so it must be something you did and refuse to pay for treatment, refund damage deposits and generally screw you over. Then you go on one of these bug registry sites and discover they've had bedbug infestations for years.

The Bedbug Registry is hosted here in sunny California. I don't hide from lawsuits.

I was living in Romania when that article came out, but the site is hosted in the US.
