The Housekeeping Department in a University has had GREAT success eliminating "bed bugs" in their dormitory rooms with the Therma-Steem portable, Vapor-Steam Cleaning System.  It seems that "bed bugs" don't care very much for live steam and therefore the staff utilizes the Therma-Steem units to drive out these annoying, pesky "bed bugs" from the cracks and crevices of the beds and mattresses as well as from out of the carpeted floors in these areas.  They are then "vacuumed up" and disposed of-without the use of expensive and potentially dangerous chemicals.
