#5 Why aren’t all the mattresses and pillows encased in bedbug-proof covers? All bedding washed daily in hot water and sealed in plastic until the bed is made up for sleep? All clothing ditto. If three shifts are sleeping in the same bed, then the bedding should be changed and washed between shifts until the problem is fixed. Diatomaceous earth puffed into all the cracks and crannies and drawers and shelves in the sleeping quarters— bedbugs don’t remain far from where people sleep, so that’s where the effort should be concentrated. Dealing with vermin is a Navy tradition several thousand years old — shouldn't some chief petty officer have just handled this?

I couldn't agree more, but they were probably at some required diversity training seminar followed by an 'I Hate Myself' role-playing exercise.
