me Scott started to complain about getting bug bites. We just figured they from outside or work. As a few months went by the problem continued to get worse. So, to the point that he could not sleep without pushing bugs off. First, we thought they were ticks. This became a nightly problem and he was constantly not getting sleep and had received at least 33 bites by this time. Interesting, they did not attack me as much nor my daughter.
Finally, we collected a few samples of the bugs which only come out at night and we brought these to our apartment manager. Within a few hours Terminix was out to see the bug samples and took a look at our apartment. Than , we came to realize that they were Bed Bugs! Our place was clean and what are BED BUGS? The Terminix man stated our apartment was infested with bed bugs. The managers attornery called us within 30 minutes and was trying to blame us for bringing in the bed bugs. As everyone knows this is becoming almost an epidemic! My future husband has been physically and mentally affected by this and the problem just doesn't go away. I takes 18 months of treatment with all your belongings to make sure they really are gone. They can live up to a year without food (human blood). A year! So, its very important that everyone around is aware of this issue so we can STOP this epidemic. Please, keep in mind usually the owners of the apt. complexs aren't so quick to treat the problem because of the high expense but if there is one apartment that had bed bugs they are in everyones apt. Call Public Health in Walnut Creek to get support. Your place needs to be treated at least four sperate times.
