it is a damn shame that a public has no outlet to hold these kind of places accountable for the correction of this kind of problem.

I felt helpless, what do u do when being diligent doesn’t pay off , section 8 is corrupt ,lanlord is malicious. 17 months insomnia NO FURNITURE & living out a car while living in new place 3 times .third apt has no bed bugs , but ur doctor @a mental health retardation center . Says ur delusional, major depression, anxiety & ocd type girl. Medicine is xanax, haldol, ambien, anafrinal forgive the spell check .sleeping on the floor, was life, now life is daughter sleeps in tub , I sleep next to her or stay up till 4/5 .either way I will protect my baby #10 yrs old. Bedbugs can have my body , the LORD WILL KEEP MY SOUL

Do you have pictures Jessica? If so, send them to badbedbugs@gmail.com – documentation with any bed bug infestation is extremely important in such cases!

I was sold a used bed with used mattresses infested with these bugs after a week of itching torture I was wondering what in the wod was going on.. I thought hives .. Eggs and bug feces are all over this frame and mattress .. The manager is insisting they sprayed the mattress .. But what they are unaware of is they can live in the wood as well which is the case for me … I am going to sue .. If people feel competent enough to run a business
Selling used furinture and mattresses.. They should understand how one wrong move can ruin a life and turn sleeping into a nightmare .. I now can’t sleep .. I am covered in bites .. This is the worst nightmare to ever have to wake up to and have to live … :-( I am scarred for life .. Can’t even eat cause I still feel them crawling .. So gross such misery..

I called Terminex….they did not show for first two appts. when they did show I was told they would do my dining room, living room, three bedrooms and basement. First appt missed….they said they sent my request to wrong people. The 2nd appt the guy then tells me he was not told to do the basement. I have an appt for my 3rd time, through out my daughters mattress and box springd and my sons and my sons rebought mattress and box spring and my living room furniture. Terminex coming here for 3rd attempt. I dont might paying the price to rid these creatures….but dont B.S. me and say you can fix the problem if you can’t. The guy said to me that he pulled stuff out and really vacuumed. Hmmm…same dust balls were there when I left…no I did not hire him to clean for me but…..where did he vacuum at? I wish I would have hired someone to do the heat method…much more expenisive but I want accuracy over inadequacy.

We should all sue! Maybe that will wake apartment managers and ‘some’ landlords up about this. Makes me nuts how people just don’t think they are a big deal! Hello…. they literally eat you alive!!!!

So it is their fault the matress covers tore? its their fault you had to burn furniture? why did you burn the furniture? did you burn all of your furniture before you called them for the first spraying? I guess you had all new furniture when they sprayed for bedbugs? i would go after the furniture store. they must have sold you infested furniture. You story does not make sense.

i called terminix upon discovering bedbugs. The bed bugs gained entry to my home via moving my blind brother in to help him out. he lived in a high crime area. well, terminix said the bedbugs were confined to one room ( blind brother). they treated room and sold us 2 mattress covers for the box spring and mattress. we were told to check daily for bugs and did so.

By the constant shifting of the box spring, the cover received tears/rips and the adults escaped. now we have them all over the house. we have burned a custom made couch, recliner, and expensive box spring and mattress. now our sleep number bed is probably next.

We were told by terminix that they would refund our money for the bed covers ( 150.00 or more) but have not received that. they also promised to come out and re-treat us, but haven’t. now we have a re-infestation.

DO NOT USE TERMINIX !!! I am out 700.00 for terminix’ fee, and about 3-4000.00 for the furniture i have lost, so far! Again – DO NOT CALL TERMINIX.
