Costs way too much. A simple spray is what people want.

 

the funny part is the problem just isn't bad enough for there to be a viable market yet.
If you had the solution today you wouldn't make any money.
The longer you wait the more it is worth.

 

but sprays are not effective and becoming less so as time goes on. it is expensive but it works

 

That's the point of the thread. someone needs to invent or discover something so they can sell it and make big bucks.

 

It is not limited to cheap hotels. Something on the news last week about The Waldorf in NYC being sued over the little buggers.

 

i had the same thought over the summer when the bed bug craze was in full efffect. but alas no solution without going back to get my PhD in chemistry

 

Doesn't steam kill them? I steam my mattress with the same steamer I use on my suit. Takes about an hour because I make sure I go over it really slow and pay extra attention to the thick piece around the mattress. Then let it air out for the rest of the day before putting covers back on.

 

I don't think so. If that were the case, kids' head lice wouldn't live though a bath/shower/blow dryer.

All these pests are almost immune to the stuff that used to kill them.

I think I'll buy an RV. I'm not sure I want to sleep in hotels ever again.

BTW I don't know anyone who steams a mattress.

 

I have heard this too .

 

I see what you saying but my steamer burnt me really badly. This stuff must be hot enough to kill these little bastaads.

BTW What about plastic wrap for mattresses? Does that stuff work? I've seen it at the stores.
