The only thing missing from the above link is that the #1 way bed bugs are being spread is at the laundromats.
The temperatures are not high enough to get rid of them.
I see these third world guys put their dirty laundry in the clean laundry baskets and sort them before they go into the washing machine and they aren't even using heavily soiled setting. I saw another guy bring in his wet laundry from who knows where and put it in a laundromat dryer.
The #1 place you can cut down on bed bugs is the friendly neighborhood laundry. So much could be done there but duh! what are they doing? Answer: nothing.
My landlords said every building on the street was infested with bed bugs as if the bed bugs just crawled into the building. No my friends, it takes a dog or a laundry bag to bring them in at the very least. I looked on bedbugger and there were no other buildings on this street listed with bed bugs.
Maybe Bill Clinton will start a Bed Bug grant very profitable, almost like Africa.
p.s. Also on second hand smoke:
People also smoke outside the laundromat's door, cigars and cigarettes, they sit in open door cars and on the provided benches. The laundry personnel huff and puff when I ask them to close the door, then when I am not looking they open it again.
Actually just take the benches away, the trash can away (that's where they drop off their dog's poop and take some puffs), no parking anytime signs installed and a huge sign -- no smoking within 10 feet of this sign. The problem should be solved, you would think, give it a try, why don't you, duh.
Their rights? How about my rights to clean and sanitary clothes and fresh air. Imagine you walk to work and the peeps in front of you are smoking and waving their cigarettes all the way up, no fun at all, no fresh air, no rights for the innocent.
The laundromat's dryers smell like stale cigarette smoke and this is a new laundromat the best in the area. Many other people complain but I am the only one who asks them to shut the door.
