I have never known about bed bugs untill I moved to the Woodner. I am located on the 9th floor and have been bitten numerous times in the month of August 2008. I have scheduled the apartment to be sprayed and are washing all my bedding in hot water. I will continue to do this on a regular basis as long as I am living in the Woodner. I am not sure who to report it to take action. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I had a small case of bedbugs last year. By small I mean it wasn't a huge infestation.
The building did spray and treat. However the woman who schedules things did screw up once. It's very inconvienent considering what they make you do.
The problem did stop.
About 6 months later this started AGAIN. I am hearing this from people on other floors as well.
The Woodner is bad news in terms of bed bugs.

Well,I am posting again. After washing all the bedding and having my apartment sprayed my fight with the dreaded pests is over. I haven't found anymore but sadly a neighbor of mine on the 6th floor is not fairing so well. She has been bitten over and over...they have sprayed and sprayed...and it hasn'[t worked so far.Another friend on the 10th floor had to throw out his sofa and has also been bitten numerous times. Seems there is quite a big problem in this building.Hope something gets done about it.

I have lived here for about 2 years. I have been bitten by bedbugs and been sprayed for them.It worked for a while then a couple of weeks ago I was bitten again all over the back of my thighs and buttocks. I got mad and looked through all my bedding and found one bedbug. I put all my bedding in bags and washed them in hot water.No bites since then...keeping my fingers crossed.

I'm not sure why I'm the first to report this, but this complex is infested with bedbugs. I've been bitten once every couple weeks in the warmed months since May 2007. I thought that I had finally gotten rid of them (after packing my apartment and having it sprayed 3 times in September 2007), but was bitten again last night, March 2008. Other tenants report similar problems. The DC Resident Services Department has even been in touch with me to find out my experience with bedbugs at the Woodner-- it seems like everyone knows about the problem but cant seem to fix it.
