You should have solved bed bug problem today if you just had a bed sized bed bug trap now. You can convert your bed into a bed sized bed bug trap and sleep on top of the trap with your smell to attract bed bugs to seek you every night. You don't need to seek any bed bugs behind wall, under carpet, in a mattress, or in a closet. Let bed bugs seek you and then either suicide or starve soon. Bed bugs hide in dark at day time and seek food at night. All of feeding chances at night are eliminated. If you doubt the efficiency, sleep in a bathtub tonight to stop bites, and then drop an ant onto the sticky barrier of the trap to confirm that the trap functions better than bathtub. If you still doubt your capability, purchase a dish size trap made from a CO2 container (bait) surrounded by sticky tape and confirm that no bugs can touch the CO2 container. You scale it up from dish size to bed size and replace CO2 container by sleeping people. The comparison between dish and bed size traps should raise your confidence. With traditional methods, you need to spray chemical or steam to everywhere; expect bed bugs behind wall moving to an easy to kill position on your next “kill on contact” treatments; let a survived bug easily get food and lay up to 300 eggs with high risk to fail after months of hard work if they lay eggs faster than the killing speed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTdOxn9MoPg

Bed bugs have long been one of the Lord's favorite remedies for the wicked. They are not as harsh and final as bolts of lightning, earthquakes, pillars of fire and the like, but they will get the attention of unrepentant sinners. He has often used bed bugs in the past to warn sinners in public housing projects and such facilities. He also uses them to punish wretches who go to cheap motels to consort with loose women. I imagine that in this case, where it is a college dormitory for young women that is infested, it has to do with the sins of the occupants. The Lord is probably using these bugs to drive off some harlot, or possibly harlots, who are living there. There are probably a lot of loose morals among these youth, who have been to public schools and do not know the Lord. Thus, they engage in all sorts of lurid and inappropriate behavior. When the Lord God sends a plague of bugs, it is not possible for the works of man to overcome them. They may seem to be gone, but they are not. God's will be done, on Earth as it is in heaven.

You can also add your own extra lighting in your front yard to help, but at least the city is doing their part too. Motion detecting lights are helpful.

If you live in firms and have bed bugs you call the news. If you live in SAHA projects and have roaches you call the news. Everyone else calls for an exterminator.

"bug bugs". funny. How come there is nothing in the story claiming the student went to the school for help first? Is it the new norm, have a problem, Channel 4 is the 911? Reckon so. You all pick and choose the ones you respond to anyway.
