I for one had NO bed bugs in my suite {lucky!, lucky!}, but had seen them from time to time in the laundry room and in the hallway buy the storage lockers. I also saw one suite that did have a masssive infestation, {which I know now in hindsight was the cause of the spread within the building} since that tenent DID NOT report the problem when first seen within their suite. Unfortunetly this is a major part of the problem, not reporting at first sight and landlords taking 0 action when complaints are lodged.

Our landlord/management on the other hand took GREAT CARE and I might add absorbed much expense over many months to rid the problem. Our building by the way now has monthly inspection and spraying of common areas and of suites {where and when neccessary} by an exterminator to minimize bug population explosion potentials. Management at least for now has expunged the major infestation our building did have, but this does not mean it can't or won't happen again.

Also building management now keeps information notice posted in the laundry room that explains all about bedbugs and what do when they are seen, etc.

We discovered the bugs in our apartment a couple months ago and have been trying to get rid of them ever since...vacuuming, cleaning,laundering, spraying every nook and cranny and piece of furniture. We threw out our mattress too but they keep coming back. I think we are going to move out. I'm horrified and not sleeping well at all. I feel like throwing out everything I own and starting over again. This sucks!

The building manager has been very aggressive and helpful in trying to take care of the infestation in our building. I have noticed way fewer bugs lately but there are still a few odd ones running around.

they suck.

neighbour got sprayed, then they showed up in my apartment. I now feel like a social outcast.

not looking forward to buying a new bed, or moving. although it should be easy, as I'll just throw everything out...
