I moved into my unit, 1551 W. Fargo Ave, Apt. #3-O on November 1st.After a week I discovered there a lot of live bed bugs in the unit, and my infant was crying all nights because he was getting bets from these bags. I immediately confronted Alan Smith of Winnemac Properties about the matter and he was not surprised that there is a bed bug problem.
Winnemac Properties has provided three visits from an exterminator who sprayed around the baseboards. These treatments have been largely ineffectiv
e, merely "putting a band-aid" on the situation for a couple of weeks before I would start seeing bed bugs again.
There has been no attempt to provide more effective treatments and I decided to move out because my son is getting sick, and not stop crying.

I moved into my unit, 1551 W. Fargo Ave, Apt. #3-O on June 1st. While cleaning on June 3rd, I discovered two live bed bugs in the unit. The next day, mail arrived for the previous tenant from a local pest control company; it contained an invoice for thermal remediation treatment of the tenant's possessions for bed bugs. I immediately confronted Alan Smith of Winnemac Properties about the matter and only then did he admit to there being a previously-existing bed bug problem.
Since then, Winnem
ac Properties has provided two visits from an exterminator who sprayed around the baseboards. These treatments have been largely ineffective, merely "putting a band-aid" on the situation for a couple of weeks before I would start seeing bed bugs again.
There has been no attempt to provide more effective treatments (thermal remediation or fumigation) and I will be moving out after four months in the unit. There is a good chance that the adjacent units may be affected by bed bugs as well.
This undisclosed bed bug problem has cost me a considerable amount of money in preventative measures and an off-site fumigation treatment of my furniture is out of my cost range. As a result, I will be forced to discard most of my furniture upon vacating the unit.
