To help low income families who get bed bug infestations help so they can get them removed from their homes.

Created by J.T. on September 01, 2013

The government needs to set up a plan to help low income families with getting rid of bed bugs. Bed bugs are a growing problem in the U.S. They infest homes and if aren't treated by a exterminator, they infest the whole house. If that happens then the house has to be destroyed. Bed bugs lay 7 eggs each and only take a week to mature. In 6 weeks there is 117,649 in the home. They bite and suck blood as well. So as you can see that would cause a serious issue for any homeowner. I've called several exterminators. They all want around $1,000 dollars to rid the problem. It cost less to get rid of cockroaches. So thats a lot of money for a household whose monthly income is less than $1,000 dollars. So how could a low income family afford something when they have bills and family to support? HELP
