The 11th floor of 1288 West Georgia had bed bugs in early 2007. Before we moved in, the place was empty and had just had the carpets steam cleaned. We noticed red staining around the baseboards in the bedroom but thought it was just a bit dirty. Later we learned it was from bed bugs. We also noticed a few of the bugs on the walls, but we didn't realize they were bedbugs until after we moved in. It was horrible because we had just bought new beds. The landlord had the place sprayed twice and after much work on our part (throwing out clothes, bedding, beds, our couch and endless laundry) they've been gone for a year. Lesson: Look for the telltale signs of bedbugs before you move in.
