We are not "dirty scams." I hope you never encounter bed bugs, but if you do, you're in for a shock. Thanks for stopping by. Now peddle your vitriol elsewhere. R Wayne,

If by “the bug Chemist,” you mean pest control operators (exterminators), then I don’t think they’re bringing bed bugs to people’s homes.

We are not “dirty scams.” I hope you never encounter bed bugs, but if you do, you’re in for a shock.

Thanks for stopping by. Now peddle your vitriol elsewhere.

Who Knows, the bug Chemist may be one of the main ones importing this nonsense into people's homes, buildings and hotels. We didn't have this problem 10 years ago. Now that we've done got rid of the roach infestation in major sources. Which was deemed as a health hazard. Now they are trying to create another health hazard in efforts to making money. You dirty scams. You ain't never had a life from the day you were born. This bed bug thing is some garbage that some scam artist has rigged up with purposeful infestation.

If they do deal with them, as this grows, they'll see the importance of this funding....this is going to be a major public health issue in the future by the sounds. People just need education at this point-because they don't believe bed bugs exist. I see a major public health issue/education for the public being a priority as this grows.

The grants can be used to conduct inspections, train inspectors and educate hotel managers and staff in bed bug prevention and eradication.

Who does this legislation benifit...DAAA. The hotel industry and the PCO industry. The legislation calls for 20% percent of the hotels rooms to be inspected and chemically treated. What about the other 80%? I guess they are OK. The PCO industry have been helpless in dealing with bed bug problems because they use ineffective technology or don't make use of all effective technologies. So,if the PCO industry can't kill the bed bugs now because of ineptatude why does the Congeress of the United States think that Two Hundred Million Dollars is going to make a difference. If one supports this legisllation you either own a hotel/motel or you own a PCO. I don't want you to have my tax dollars because your stupid.
