Note: Spraying the matresses with DDT is guaranteed to eliminate bed bugs. Ain’t progress wonderful. 40 years ago there would have been no problem.

"Most common signs of a Bed Bug infestation include fecal droppings, blood smears in the sheets and a clear shedded exoskeleton left behind after molting."

DDT wiped out the bed bugs 50-60 years ago. However they are now allegedly resistant to it. The missing weapon accounting for their resurgence supposedly isn’t DDT (banned by Nixon), but a couple of other pesticides banned by Clinton’s EPA in the 90s.
