The first paragraph immediatly blamed earth lovers for the banning of effective pesticides. What is not mentioned are that insects and pests have always been apart of life. The author of the article was excited to hear that the department of defense might join the cause to take action about the increase in bed bug incidents. The EPA states that alot of research is being conducted, and many groups are getting involved. Just outside Washington agencies such as the Department of Agriculture are researching. Other agencies involved in the Bed Bug Interagency Task Force are the departments of Health and Human Services. The governemnt is looking for an effective way to decrease the number of pests and they feel it is going to be hard to do so with out the sue of pesticides. thye want to make the people feel comfortable; but in my opinion it is not just about that, but the health of the people and being honest.
