I had bed bugs as well. They are definitely in the building!! And the landlord, although willing to pay for the services, is just awful to deal with. I moved out because of the problem. It was terrible! One of the worst experiences of my life. We all deserve to sleep soundly, and cleanly especially for paying the high rent prices!!! My apartment was on the 3rd floor.

Again, Bedbugs are present in 404 W 56th... This time it is in another apartment. The entire building needs to be sprayed and bombed.

I noticed a number of mosquito-like bites on my body at first. I was praying that it wasn't bed bugs. Soon after, my roommate complained of bites as well. I ripped my sheets off my bed and found one of the blood-sucking sons of bitches, and from that point on I've been going crazy. We called the landlord and got exterminated about a month later. Of course, we had to pack up our entire apartment: all clothes and shoes in garbage bags sealed with duct tape, books vacuumed and sealed in plastic bins, vinyl covers on the mattress and box spring, all clothes and bedding washed in hot water, excessive dry cleaning etc, etc, etc. It was all extremely stressful. About a week or 2 after the extermination, the biting began again and we were told that we had to pick up 2 more poisons to spray interchangeably every 2 days and vacuum the whole apartment everyday. It has been 2.5 months since the problem emerged, and I have to say that it's been a very horrible, stressful, and depressing experience. I haven't slept well for over 2 months, and I'm constantly itchy. PLEASE BRING BACK THE PESTICIDES THAT KILL BED BUGS!! Whatever you hear about bed bugs is actually 10 times worse than you think.
