Entomologists at Pennsylvania State University say the key appears to be a natural fungus that causes disease in the insects.
Researchers sprayed spores from the fungus Beauveria bassiana onto paper and cotton jersey, which is used in linens. Bed bugs were exposed to the surfaces for one hour, and then placed in a petri dish to be monitored. Within five days, all the bugs exposed to the fungus were killed.

That well never make the market. The bugs were never given a fair choice.
damn to bad we can't find something like this for obama voters! Would make the USA be a lot better place!
Great, but what does the fungus do to humans or pets?
Just what we need ... a fungus in our beds.
