They couldn't care less about dirt or lack of it.


Ok, so how do they survive the vacuum cleaner and the washing machine?



It's /extremely/ difficult to kill those *******s. But carbamates did the
job wonderfully.



All bedding gets washed in hot water once a week. The mattress, all
upholstered furniture, and floors are vacuumed once a week. The floors
are then scrubbed or polished. The ceilings and walls are
vacuumed/wiped once a month. How could bedbugs survive that?


They can and they do, easily. Believe it or not. They are /very/ tough, and
they slide into the tiniest of spaces. A crack the width of a hair is more
than enough for them.

You need at least eight-hours of 120-degree heat to kill them. And the huge
problem with heat is that, unlike with chemicals, there's no persistency.
Any bugs next-door to the heat-attack simply march in, unopposed, once the
heat abates.

Environuts are stupid and selfish, plain and simple.
