Bed bugs
1 points by dan2k3k4 4244 days ago
So I found the shell of a bed bug at home last night, however after researching about them, it seems the only solutions that work are to wash everything at 60 degrees celsius and destroy/incinerate your mattress :(

Is there any advances in technology to help detect and exterminate bed bugs? It seems like a huge problem in every major city...

It's great that we're working on various methods against mosquitos which are far more dangerous than the bed bugs but I assume that with the amount of people living and working in cities, they would surely be willing to spend on bed bug research or products?
