EPA vs the bedbugs: Who will win?

Well, at this point, it looks like the bedbugs are winning, to Governor Strickland's dismay. Read over at The Daily Caller:

But why are bed bugs back? Though they’ve been sucking humans’ blood since at least ancient Greece, bed bugs became virtually extinct in America following the invention of pesticide DDT.

There were almost no bed bugs in the United States between World War II and the mid-1990s.

Around when bed bugs started their resurgence, Congress passed a major pesticides law in 1996 and the Clinton EPA banned several classes of chemicals that had been effective bed bug killers.

But, hey, who really cares? The EPA knows best, as we all know.
