Whoever told you dust mites can’t live in 100% latex mattresses was pulling a fast one on you. Those mattresses have plenty of pores and holes for dust mites, bed bugs and any other creepy crawlies. They’re LESS hospitable, but not 100%

Bed Bugs are hard to get rid of, as they’re VERY chemical resistant. The only really effective means of getting rid of them is to keep consistently clean homes. Wash the bedding, clothing and so on regularly. Remember, the Bed Bugs live in your bedding, clothing and stored clothing.

Bed bug infestation are getting more common on college campuses, particularly affluent ones. It’s amusingly common for privileged kids to not even know how to do their own laundry. When people start saving up weeks or months of dirty clothing, you have a breeding ground for bed bugs.

If you want to get rid of the buggers, you need to start a community wide hygiene drive.

Your other alternative is moving.

Even 100 percent steel reinforced concrete mattresses have bugs, since you bring them with you when you go to sleep.
