To answer the previous poster's question:
Are they smart enough to crawl up walls/ceiling and drop down onto me in the night?
The answer is Yes, they will crawl through the ceiling light fixture to drop down on you.

Still a huge battle with bed bugs!!!
I have encased my matress and box spring in plastic covers. I re-inspected metal bed frame, in particular the wheels. I'm washing sheets and inspecting my bed every 3-5 days. Removed the headboard and pushed end tables away from bed. The bastards would have to climb up the legs of the bed to get me, and there I've wrapped fly trap ribbon sticky no-pest strip.
NOTHING!!! goes on the bed but me, after a fre
sh shower.
I'm now washing all my clothes (entire wardrode) and using enzyme spray on furnature/carpets.
Diatomaceous Earth sprinkled everywhere!
Latest research has told me to rip up carpet around perimeter of room, and pull appart metal heat register.

Another 6 months since my previous report so in total now it's 1.5 years and I still battle the problem.
The number of fresh bites on my body is down from several large bites (which come from the full grown adult bed bugs) per night to just one or two small bites (new hatchlings) per week.
I still vacuum and wash clothes/bedding more often than I should have to (extra time and expense) and every time I get a fresh bite on my body
in the morning, I'll tear apart my bed within a few days and visually inspect every inch on every crevice and seam, trying to find the culprit. I've had good luck with spraying all over my mattress and boxspring (including the inside underneath as I removed the backing mesh) with 50:50 bleach and water solution, but I've needed to repeat this many times as it lasts only a few weeks before the little suckers are back!
I don't even bother to ask building manager for help. It's proven with other issues they are too cheap to bother. Someone slipped a generic Bed Bug alert and info sheet under everyone's door during the winter, but the bulding manager has never come around to inspect or follow up with me.
I'm certain my problem is because they are coming in from other suites!!!
I'm moving out of this over priced shit-hole soon, so I don't care anymore; other than to alert others and help spare anyone else from enduring the needless suffering I have.

Just after moving in, I found hords of bits on my young son and thought he had chicken pox. Found out they were bed bugs.
Landlords were really nice an got a pest guy here right away, but the bugs are still here. I have athma and have never been so sick in my life.
Now there are new landlords and not a nice. everything I own is ruined. Garbage. I have a leather lazy boy I got 2 years ago. Garbage. I know they are in at leaset one other apt.
