I do not have them bus but I do know people who do. the landlord say it the tenants job to exterminate, even in an apartment. There is a woman who been in this building for ten years and never had know new carpet and she stay with bed bugs.

I am on section 8 so this makes it difficult to just move to another unit without an inspection, i want to get rid of belongings, she says no, she can destroy them. I’m sacred that I don’t have a guarantee that there won’t be a reinfestation.

I and several others have asked to break lease, they say no, because they are going to get rid of them. We had an infestation last year about the same time. Also, lots of plumbing issues, they must dig 8-9ft. below to fix the problem, as well as issues inside apartments, do you feel they could be digging them up?

Can i sue them for my couches, bedding and etc that i must throw out. she has offered to give me money to my laundry, but also fear that i may have infested my family members by having them over or going to their home.

What do i do? have contacted landlord tenant act, housing not getting very far at this point, she wants to say that i am not keeping my house clean, how do you explain others getting them, we live 5-10ft apart. Charlotte in Arizona

I have a ton of information posted on our laundry room bulletin board. We have taken a PRO-ACTIVE stance and “treat” the entire building once a month, whether or not we have received any bedbug activity reports.

And when we do get a report, we jump on the reporting unit, PLUS the units to either side, above and below, with a special in depth treatment applied by a professional exterminating company.

We have decided to continue doing this, until the folks in the labs come up with a sure fire cure, It seems this grief is ongoing until then. But take heart, we have frontal lobes AND opposing thumbs, and the bugs don’t, so we should be victorious in the end!
