All great ideas however I wanted to clarify one thing... Bed bugs and head lice have nothing to do with a person's hygiene.

Lice actually prefer clean hair as their eggs won't stick to greasy hair as well as it would squeeky clean hair. Bed bugs can infest a home quickly without being noticed as they only come out to feed at night. My sister in law had them because she had a visitor bring them into her home from a hotel he stayed at. The bed bugs hitched a ride in his luggage... both people were actually very clean. I just thought the comment about hygine was inappropriate as it could lead to others being judged unfairly for something that's not their fault. Otherwise the article was full of useful information.
