The one person who finds out how to put a stop to this will become very, filthy, rich.

No useful information, just fear mongering.

Another wonderful side-effect of multiculturalism, diversity, and a sincere lack of immigration screening.

DDT. But we can't do that any more.

We already know how, but are not allowed to use what works anymore. When my Dad was a child in the 1930’s, he said he slept with them every night. By the 1940’s they had DDT and were able to get rid of them forever.

Well, we don’t use silly things like common sense anymore, so someone will have to come up with another solution.

Ah, another example of the GWB's family values not stopping at the Rio Grande.

Just infesting the beds Americans refuse to infest...

IIRC the problem with bed bugs isn’t Nixon’s DDT ban, but Clinton’s EPA’s ban on a couple newer pesticides. DDT had worked on them in 1950s, but they’ve since developed resistance.

Bedbug infestations are getting worse and becoming more common in some places, including dorms, hotels, nursing homes, hospitals, office buildings, and schools and day-care centers.

Bedbugs, tuberculosis, STDs and AIDS are all part and parcel of the transfer of the USA into a third world nation by the Democrats via their immigration policies, and entitlement programs.

Environmentalists will be opposed to pesticides because of their belief in the intrinsic value of nature and the nonvalue of man, and so they won’t care about his well being and quality of life.

I have a sister-in-law who is leaving the apartment she just moved into a few months ago due to a continuing bedbug infestation. She’s fought them constantly since they appeared, and it sounds like an utterly miserable experience. The suckers go for clothes, beds, books - basically you end up throwing a lot of stuff away. Sounds like we need to bring back DDT pronto and stop catering to the environazi lobby.
