    Bedbugs are absolutely laborious to get rid off. From what I've read the only reliable mass extermination method is to heat the entire house to roughly 120 degrees.

    My wife's niece had a end-of-group townhouse that she kept very nice. She wound up having having to move because of the large family of undocumented immigrants that moved in next door, and guess what moved in with them?

    Niecey had to call an exterminator for a bedbug infestation not once, but TWICE. :mad:

    Her first clue that something wasn't kosher was witnessing one of the neigbors out in the yard spraying a mattress down with a hose.

    That's gross wonder what her neighbor did with the matress after hosing it down.Bedbugs originate from the middle east and cost around $1500.00 for one treatment from the exterminator.

    It's worse.

    Some Matress stores have the 30 day or return it.

    Guess where the new home of the previous 30 day bedbugs get to reup in?

    I can't even imagine what's it's like living with that infestation.

    ...Or next to one. :eek:

    In my step-niece's case, they must've came in through the electrical outlets.

    This sounds like an opportunity for Richard Branson--Virgin Bedbug Exterminators. He will take all of your belongings, launch them into space and store them on the moon for a month.

    When all the bedbugs are dead, he'll drop a space capsule back to Earth where you can pick up your stuff in the middle of the Pacific ocean.

    HM. Low earth orbit above say 300,000 for a few hours should do the same. Then vent the bugs into space. There is no telling that you will get a intact matress back what with all the sweat, fluids and so on accumulated 20 years. I think I just abandoned lunch just now thinking about that. ugh.
