Bed bugs are incredibly difficult to get rid of. I live in an apartment complex and they just heated every room to get rid of bedbugs, but the bugs are coming back to my apartment, and probably to other apartments as well. The landlord said something about having to get rid of every bed bug. Maybe he is feeling pressure from the owner, or from other tenants. But it is probably impossible to get rid of them completely. The best thing is to keep doing heat treatments, but of course that would cost money. Or maybe try carbon dioxide traps.
You have to be a fanatic to have any chance of getting rid of them permanently. You have to wash all clothes and fabrics repeatedly, inspect the entire house very, very closely, and do all kinds of time consuming stuff, and make sure you don't make a single mistake, since one pregnant female can infest your dwelling once again. In an apartment complex, maybe one or two people might be fanatics and waste their lives checking every crevice and washing day and night, but people who are not that fanatical will always have bugs, and they'll spread to every apartment. Personally, they don't "bug" me enough to become an obsessive washer and checker, especially since they'll probably come back anyway.
Mormonism is hard to eradicate as well. Some people become fanatics and try to spread the truth of the Church to their friends and family and the public at large. But you have to get the truth to every single person, and give every single person a test so he/she does not forget it. This borders on the impossible, so we have to be content with the way things are. Just because Mormonism persists is in no way evidence that it is true.
