It’s awful reading about everyone who has/is suffering from bedbugs. My family and I lease an apartment in North Columbus and are suffering from them. Luckily we have wonderful landlords and as soon as I informed them it was a matter of minutes I received a call from the exterminator to set up an initial inspection. I couldn’t imagine scramming to come up with the amount of money to properly handle the situation. Thank you John and R&S Reality.

Don’t move to forest creek apartments. I believe they lied to me and told me they didn’t have a bed bug infestation because I now have them!

What they should do Lee is prepare their employees by training them about the growing bed bug problem and how to prevent, and treat, a bed bug infestation.

I’m a home health worker. My clients on the East side of Columbus have had bed bug infestations several times. Then the workers in the client’s homes took them home, now they have them!! Covenant House is the company who services these MRDD group homes! Too cheap to pay for the group homes to be treated, until EVERYONE has them! Shame on you!

We had bed bugs and nothing worked I bought hot shot bed bug spray…I have tried it all the plastic mattress covers nothing help…..UNTIL we bought some Diatomaceous Earth…. Thank GOD NO MORE bed bugs…we did not have the money for an exterminator we are on a fixed income…. Diatomaceous Earth… within 48 hours no more bed bugs… I don’t understand why health dept and more people are not aware of this stuff… It is a true GOD send and it only costs about $12 for 6lbs… We bought it at a feed supply store… spread it on the carpet around the legs of the bed took off mattress and box springs took a paint brush and brushed it all over the bed and box springs, along the base board in the room in all nooks and cranies…Look it up on the internet Diatomacesous Earth… I can now sleep in my bed again without bed bugs. It is same for pets and humans….
DIATOMACESOUS EARTH KILLS BED BUGS … THE ONLY THING I HAVE FOUND THAT REALLY WORKS.

I live in Piqua, Ohio. I moved into a nice home in March. I noticed right away that there were dead cockroaches all over my kitchen. I cleaned the mess up because the landlord said that it was my responsibility. The tenants who moved out were very unsanitary people. Approximately two weeks into my stay, I had a guest who noticed a bed bug. I called my landlord immediately and she claimed that I have a bug problem in my head. The exterminator came out three days later and stated that there were no bed bugs. Now it is the end of May and my father is visiting from out of town and slept on my couch. He woke up with bites all over his body. I inspected the couch and sure enough there were bed bugs. Now I have to tell the landlord again in which she has already told me that she is tired of my complaining. It is now the beginning of June and I have noticed them in all rooms of my house. Bed bugs can live in an empty dwelling for over a year without food. I believe that these bugs were here before me. I came from an apartment complex that treated the apartments on a quarterly basis. I have never had a problem with any type of bug. I have been treating the problem myself with a white powder that can be found at a lawn and garden store. This stuff is called Diatomaceous Earth and a raid spray that is primarily for bed bugs. My landlord said not to use this stuff and that the exterminator has to find live bugs in order to treat. I have a few samples to give her, but the landlord said that I am not to collect samples and that they have to be spotted crawling on my belongings. I am hoping that this exterminator can successfully rid me of these bugs. I am afraid that she is not going to be able to do so, since they are in my entire house. This situation really scares me. I am afraid that if we do get rid of them completely that they will just come back by someone else who has them. If anyone can advise me on how to make sure that these things can be eliminated from my house successfully, please let me know. I am willing to use any product. I really want to move, but I know that is not an option because I will bring them with me. I have also heard of several other cases of bed bugs in my town. I believe that this is a crisis and it will only get worse. Something needs to be done about this problem.

My daughter lives in Pine Crossing Apts and reported bed bugs, her maintenance office advised her since she reported the problem she can be responsible to pay for the whole building to be treated. Is this legal ? Or are they taking advantage of her. She has requested to relocate to a different building several times due to the unsantitary conditions of her neighbors .
