hey y'all - i was ryan's roommate (she moved out a while back). i just wanted to let people know that, almost a year later, despite lots of "fumigations," we still very much have bedbugs here in the apartment. we are all leaving (myself and my 3 roommates) at the end of this month and they are saying that they're going to fumigate while we're gone and not rent out our apt. for at least a month. we are apt. 58. i know that apt. 56 also had a bed bug problem - i think that's the apt. ryan was talking about.

it could very well be that with all of us gone they can finally get rid of them for good. i know #56 is or was completely vacated as well, as of a couple months ago.

just wanted to put it out there so that people can make informed decisions.

About a month ago, August 2007, I saw a neighbor sitting out in the hallway with her very large dog. I asked her if she was locked out and she replied, that no she was being fumigated. When I said, "we have cockroaches to, how did you get the landlord to pay for fumigation?" She replied, "nope - its bed bugs. and she got the landlord to pay because she was insistent that the apartment was infested.

Sure enough, a month later I start to get bites on my arms. Ifigured it out today - I have bed bugs. I found them on the walls near my bed, behind picture frames on the wall. Thankfully I saw bedbugger.com and I will stop mangling them up in tissue and throwing them away. I live on the 5th floor of 555 W151st Street on the corner of Broadway.
