Sun, 21 Aug 2011 14:41:59 +0000 http://www.badbedbugs.com/?p=976#comment-22566 I noticed a lot of people here use the word "nightmare".... They couldn't be more right!!! My husband and our 2 small children had to leave our beautiful apartment due to an injury and therefore a large drop in funds. So we moved into a shoe box of a "studio" (our landlord is a total slum lord, he makes people pay upwards of 800$ to live in tiny rooms with up to 5 people per room, most of us just don't have the money or credit for a good apartment these days) anyway this jerk never told us that EVERY SINGLE UNIT HE MANAGES in ALL 4 BUILDINGS HAS BED BUGS!!! When we moved in it was ok or so we thought. After I spoke to him calmly on the phone and asked him to please take care of this problem and he refused until I paid rent for the upcoming month! I told him I would put the rent for the existing month (when I was talking to him) into escrow and I'd pay him when the bugs were taken care of. He still refuses to this day. We have been trying to get rid of them ourselves with store bought bug bombs and sprays and a ton of laundry. It's gotten to where I have refused to pay rent while living in this NIGHTMARE month after month while these bugs spread and spread. <a href="http://www.badbedbugs.com/wp-content/uploads/Bugginout.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1852" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 5px;" title="Buggin' out!

Bed bug bites on leg" width="150" height="150" /></a>I seem to be the only one getting bitten to this extent and believe me its EXTREME. I sleep about 2-4 hours a night tops and I wake up scratching so badly I'm bloody which I'm sure just attracts more bugs. I don't know if we will ever get rid of them! I can't wear short skirts anymore and because these critters got into my laptop bag I unknowingly brought them to work and to my friends house where they are bringing home a new baby any day and their child is 2 years old like mine. I find them falling off my clothes in public it's so embarrassing! I hate this I hate bedbugs and I will DESTROY my landlord in court! He wants rent??? He should be paying US to move out and buying us new beds! I noticed a lot of people here use the word “nightmare”…. They couldn’t be more right!!!

At one home they have bed bugs, I have been getting bite, can I bring them home also? If so, how may I avoid doing so? Thanks I work as a CNA and travel into patients’ houses.

I am being bit by bat bugs, animal control will remove the bats in aug. ( as there seems to be a law of removing bats in the summer. I have an exterminator coming on friday to spary my house. My question is? While all this is happening here I am going to stay with my son and daughter in law. I am taking my two dogs with me. Do I need to worry about caring there bats bugs with me?

What do I do to prevent this from coming into my house. Do I bag her clothes and other items make-up, blow dryer etc. And lock them in the garage. What can I use to kill them . Do you think they would be in make-up. And what do I do with my daughter. I cant put her in a clothes dryer? my daughter may be coming back from a hotel with bed bugs not 100 percent sure.

Check the students desk and surrounding areas for bed bugs! Remember that it is NOT the child's fault, but if he had them in his clothing, it's something that needs to be address for the sake of others!

I found one bite on my upper leg which looks like a bed bug bite, but it's only one so far. I have so many expensive clothing items that can't be thrown in the dryer. If I get a bed big cover and pillow cover will that keep them away? It may be a tiny mosquito bite, but it doesn't itch. I just know the mattress has been used a million times so it is a possibility. help! I just moved into a furnished unit and have been itching like crazy!
