Much like the Administration's failing to lift  the ban on foreign flagged vessels operating in US waters during the Gulf Oil Spill, the EPA is not acting on states' requests to provide an exemption to the chemical pesticide propozur to eradicate bedbugs.

The CNN HQ in NYC has them as do many 5-star hotels and yet the EPA will not allow the temporary use of this effective chemical and homeowners, landlords and businesses are forced to fight this effort with expensive and often ineffectual remedies.

I am actually worried about it as I am bringing my daughter to college.  I bought a large can of lysol and am hoping it will help if there is anything there and we got her a mattress cover and pillow cover.  Keeping my finger crossed.

They'll probably need to do a 2 year, 2 million dollar study of the effects on the life cycle of the bed bugs, before they can approve using it. Of course, taxpayer funded! We're so lucky these people are taking care of us!
