Just moved in on the first, got an inspector to come in before I moved anything in due to the previous posts on this site and a flyer I was given. Sure enough, found some dead bugs and fresh castings within 5 minutes of looking around the bedroom, the pest control guy arrived and decided to spray immediately. 6 hours later I was allowed to go back in, found live ones crawling up through the carpet, (dying I HOPE) so I just left and am staying at a friend's for the night. I can't vacuum for 7 days, I've heard most pesticides arent fully effective so I might not even stay there until a week from now....that's a full week of rent paid where I'm afraid to live in my own apartment. The building manager did not tell me about this problem EVEN THOUGH I SAW HIM GO UPSTAIRS WITH A FUMIGATOR GUY WITH A PESTICIDE TANK an hour before mine came! Sounds like that should be illegal...good luck everyone, lets post updates here and hopefully we can do something about this!

I live on the first floor near the front entrance. Have not seen one or been bitten (yet). Just found out after the memo that went out. I am super clean and am now vacuuming daily. This situation FREAKS me out. Does anyone know which units are affected? Or if there is anything I can do to break my lease if they enter my suite? (the landlord obviously must have known before I moved in due to the dates of these posts) Thanks.

Thousands!!! I've been here for years with no problem, then a week ago my world fell apart. I sleep 15 minutes then wake up and spend 30 minutes squishing them. Then sleep for 15 minutes more then wake. Repeat, repeat and repeat. Can't take much more. Has anyone told the landlord? I scribbled about it on that painting notice on the front door and all that happened is the notice got took down. Discouraging... This all started July 3rd or 4th of 2008. Afraid I'll get blamed and evicted, but might have to take that chance. Going crazy, and not slowly. Bring back DDT, it's safe for birds so long as used wisely. Oh yeah it's apartment 312 on the third floor. Beware lest ye suffer my fate.

They\'re in my apartment too. I had thought it was fleas as the previous owner had a cat; however after removing my sheets to clean them I found a live one crawling underneath (and, of course, I\'m also covered with bug bites since moving in).

Was getting bites for last few months plus sensations of bugs crawling on me at night. Thought it was fleas, but after my cat was on advantage for 5 months was still being bitten. Heard someone else in my building had bed bugs. Finally caught one that was crawling on me.

They are in this building...

Found a whole whack of them that had infested my bed. Threw away bed and other furniture. Seems like it is a Vancouver thing, as they are showing up all over town.
