All it takes is one pregnant bug or a little nymph and they multiply quickly. A female can lay about five eggs a day. Imagine there are at least 10 females in the house, that you didn't know about, that is about fifty eggs a day. Over the course of a month that would give you 1500 in one month! Now you do the math! From experience, I can tell you that if they are hiding in your baseboards, they are in your carpets, behind your wallpaper, in the door jams, behind outlet covers, old picture holes in the wall, cracks in cabinets, dresser drawers... and they are definitely going to get worse because people think that the pest guy comes over, does what he has to do. Comes back and treats and checks for a month or two and the job is done. Nobody has been bitten in a while, nobody has had any issues. And then all of a sudden, after the chemicals or powders have worn off, and trust me, they will, those bugs that found little hiding places away from the big bad pest guy, will come out and start all over again. The only thing we could do was to move. Sadly, you will have to notify your friends, family, coworkers, and if your landlord won't tell the tenants in the apartment complex you live in, then you will have to do so. Don't you think they should know? I was ashamed, really. But then after doing some research, I couldn't deny the fact that I now had a responsibility to help others and to let them know that they had to treat their homes and furniture and bedding before 'their' bugs got out of hand. And 100% guarantee that the people you have visited, as well as those you work with, have taken some bugs home with them.

The itching and scratching CAN lead to infection...and, let's not even talk about the mental anguish of not being able to sleep, and your children being afraid to sleep. Definitely a health hazard!
