Head lice are typically treated with a pediculicide (lice-killing) shampoo. There are two over-the-counter shampoos available: Permethrin and Pyrethrins, with piperonyl butoxide. If over-the-counter treatments don't work, there are prescription medications available through your doctor as well: Malathion and Lindane.
After all, didn't they help ban DDT back in the 70's? Also, isn't malaria making a comeback? Bring back DDT!!!
No - up until recently there were no bedbugs to have to kill with DDT. Now they're all over the place.
Blame the cheap labor easy money types, especially motel owners who profit very nicely not only with cheap illegal labor because you know when they're that money hungry that they'll bring in illegals, they're going to scrimp on soap and hot water and cleaning solutions.
There have been shows on television showing how filthy motels and hotels have been in recent years, often they don't wash blankets between guests, nd if they can get by with it, they don't change the sheets, or if they have to wash sheets and towels, they'll use cold water and little or no soap. Also they have the 3rd world housekeeping crews that aren't familiar with proper hygiene and cleaning between guests.
Well steam kills bed bugs, just a little pun and having fun. Really if you happen to have a steamer, and you know you have bed bugs, i never have and hopefully never will, but a steamer will kill the damn little creatures.

Seting fire to one side of the bed and stabbing the little buggers with an icepick as they run to the other side works well, also.
I heard that one visiting tourist made a wrong turn and ended up at the Glen Beck rally and all 10 million people in attendance were infected because they were so tightly packed together.

Are you seriously comparing the steam cleaning of a bed to setting it on fire and stabbing it with an icepick?
"...When DDT gets into our bodies, it is stored primarily in such fatty organs as the adrenals, testes, and thyroid. DDT is also stored in smaller concentrations in the liver and kidneys..."
