seriously humans need to be a bit more serious about their personal Hygiene. its a fact that bed bugs and these sort of stuff are found where cleanliness is neglected.

Actually, that is complete fiction. A bed bug infestation has nothing to do with cleanliness or personal hygiene. Bed bugs have been found everywhere from low-income apartment buildings to the most expensive five-star hotels and private homes. Bed bugs, unlike roaches, do not feed on organic material--they live strictly on blood. Cleanliness, or a lack thereof, does not matter.
