Do these things have any ecological benefit or not? What's stopping scientists from making parasitic wasps to exterminate them?

bed bugs have practically zero transmissible diseases

They eat good and live in beds, amazing critters

had a neighbor die on me earlier this year
he had been in and out of the hospital for some time
after he died, i got all sorts of horrible bites all over my arm one night
i searched my bed and found a single insect i didn't recognize, and when i crushed it, blood came out
i knew immediately that it was a bed bug
dude's apartment was evidently crawling with them
when their host disappeared, they began to migrate
i went into high alert, threw out my mattress, encased my other mattress, did laundry non stop, put my bed on stilts, sifted desiccating dust around corners
got bit on a few more occasions, but after moving, managed to beat them
i had a few captured ones in plastic bags to see how long they lived. one that i caught immediately after biting me lived for almost 3 months
i hate these little fucks

They did. But it also killed all of humanity. We died a long time ago, anon. We are in hell now. Think about it.

just do science for once, what is a schwab shill, will you eat it or will you deprave it from it's most important sense. like smell
try activated charcoal, works every time, most schwab people wander away until they can smell something or die

Whats the worst is when there are so many bed bugs they can actually start to cause anemia.
And the thought that all of those bed bugs grew from your blood. That's your biomass.

i couldnt get rid of fleas in my carpeted house because the roommates next room over had a cat and a filthy room so every time I got rid of the fleas in my room they would show up again within a week, fucking disaster and I tried so hard cleaning shit and cleansing the floor and pouring that chemical shit all over the room borox or whatever
