During the 1940s-1996 - fears of bedbugs were a thing of the past. Around when bed bugs started their resurgence, Congress passed a major pesticides law in 1996 and the Clinton EPA banned several classes of chemicals that had been effective bed bug killers. In 2019, we have an epidemic in major cities with the extreme resurgence of these bugs. City offices, movie theaters, etc have been infected with these bugs and the cost of extermination is ever growing.

I know that these chemicals can be dangerous but if handled by professionals, we can keep these bugs at bay. Please, stop the EPA from banning these chemicals. Let our workplaces and homes be safe from the nuisance that these bugs bring.
